The storm system that is now affecting California is forecasted by models to dig south to Mexico, exemplifying a typical El Nino storm system. Within the next few days the stronger dynamics will overspread an area of increased gulf moisture advection. This combination will take place over central and southern Texas and create some very heavy precipitation. We could see some rain totals in excess of 6 inches as per the QPF that some of the  models are indicating! These areas the last few years were dealing with some extreme drought conditions... we could see some major flooding in the same areas with this system!

Rain totals in excess of 6"?? Oh, I truly hope not! :sigh:
Good luck to you, Texas.

As bad as that sounds, and it will cause some flooding, Texas really needs that sort of a rain right now. They are just now finally getting out of the drought stages, but the lakes desperately need refilling.

Glad to hear TX is finally getting some relief! It felt good for us in southern Cali, that's for sure!
Rainfall amounts were hardly anything to brag about...I measured about 0.02" :zzz

This next line of storms, however is supposed to bring anywhere from 6-30 (yes, 30!) inches of rain to southern cali by the end of next week! :-) Maybe a bit more precip. for the northern ares of TX later on down the road?
