Weekend forecast + drought update
Weekend forecast + drought update Weekend forecast plus we're officially out of a drought! 👉 Friday & the weekend - *I'm not going to promise this weekend will be completely dry. (It is almost June after all, and it's tough to completely void the area of an afternoon downpour in spots)
*Any showers would be quite random and isolated.
*Aside from that, it looks fine.
*Highs will be near 90 or so, maybe in the low-90s in some spots.
*Mornings should be nice with lows in the 70s. 👉 As a sidebar: 
Fireba11 Space City talks about the gulf & GFS model 👇 *There is no real serious tropical system risk in the Gulf right now for next week or the week after.
*The GFS model is often shown this time of year, but it has a very well known, systemic bias of constantly overforecasting tropical storms and hurricanes in May and June.
*It can be safely disregarded.
*That said, it's not out of the question that a weak, sloppy system forms in the eastern Gulf over the next 2 weeks.
*Here in Texas, our rain may fall hard at times, but it should not tied to anything tropical. 👉 Drought update - *The U.S. Drought Monitor updated on Thursday and shows virtually the entire Houston area completely out of drought now. 
*As far as I can tell, this is the first time we've been this drought-free in the area since late September.
*It's been a long while. Even in Corpus Christi, the reservoir levels in that area are as high as they've been since last September also. www.drought.gov/stat es/texas/county/harr is More rain to come - *Although the weekend looks fine, there are some signs we aren't quite done with rainy weather entirely.
