Lots of rain coming to Amarillo, but little for Lubbock, Austin or College Station – three hotbeds of climate alarmist.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Normal conditions in a desert region! Poor Dears,they should learn to adapt of migrate like those who settled the region before.
At least there’s no polar bears chasing them around.
Question.
What is the theoretical cause of this pattern?. Even this map shows most of Texas getting missed again. Has there been a post here explaining this which I missed?
The synoptic pattern has been such that a dome of high pressure is centered over Texas, forcing all the storm activity around the periphery. This is a pretty normal summer pattern in Texas. What makes this situation unique is that the La Nina winter we had was very dry to start with and, coupled with normal summer dryness, has created an exceptional drought.
I once read that someone described the typical climate in Texas as “drought punctuated by flood”–seems about right! 🙂
Because of this drought in Texas it means the whole world is in a state of ‘manmade global warming? This drought in a small part of America, and a very, very small part of the world overall, is proof that the globe is in a state of disaster? We can be certain that manmade global warming is real because a couple of people that live where this drought is happening think it is an indication of worldwide tendency?
But then the rest of us can see it’s a very small area. And droughts in very small areas have happened many, many times in the history of the world.
During the time frame of the Medieval Warm Period there was a 500 year drought in the area where New York now is.

aren’t most of the droughts in Texas broken by tropical storms?
