The rain showers that came through the area a little earlier this morning giving us .17 of an inch of rain. 

South of us is additional light rain that will move into our area giving us more rain over the next 2 hours. This afternoon and tomorrow the chances are slim to none and we may even see a peek of the yellow stuff. No real rain chances until Friday afternoon about 1 pm.

Linda Goller ask me how the weather would be for Saturday's Farmer's Market around the downtown courthouse square. I suggested that since it starts at 7am things would be fine. About closing time at noon we might get just enough rain to wash the fruits and veggies.

Sunday, Monday and Tuesday...well, a much different story.  We have several super upper LOWs spinning from the Alaska region downward to catch the Southern jet stream and be guided by el Nino on into Texas to collide with the rich, moist Gulf air.....to create more possibilities for T-storms and severe weather for our region. 

Last night at the Boys & Girls Club banquet and auction, John Oglesbee ask about the weather this Summer. I offered up this in response: Here is something the "Big Boys" in the forecasting business are talking about...due to the weather, we could see a cooler summer than last year...that's right a cooler summer....and with el Nino it could also be wetter.  If you thought this last weeks termite swarms were bad...wait for the dry eggs to hatch from all the rain....In my opinion (based on the mosquito population I am seeing around my place) it's them flying around that will provide the shade to keep us under their cloud cover and cooler this Summer.

NWS briefing tomorrow at 10...I will try to verify all I have mentioned above....but with more detail. Tom JohnsonKTXSANAU6
