Re: The Dry Side of Lee: Not So Nice in Texas

The ongoing extreme Texas drought seems to be self-perpetuating the blocking high that has been over the region for many months. It will take a major slug of Gulf moisture to put a dent in it.
At my location in east central Florida, it is the 16th month of moderate to severe drought that started in June 2010. I have had high humidity and spotty near to above normal precip this summer in some localized areas, so the wildfire threat is currently low. Some locations along Florida's east coast did get moisture out of Irene, but with only another 3-4 weeks until the climo start (October 15th) of our 6-month dry season, the outlook for meaningfull precip from a slow-moving tropical system to put some water in our wetlands that will help control wildfires is fading fast.
