Don to bring drought busting rains for TX? Not so fast...









The track for Tropical storm Don has trended South over the last 24 hours. In addition, Northerly shear has kept the heaviest rains South of the center of circulation. The end result is that only Deep South Texas is likely to get any beneficial rainfall. Drought stricken San Antonio may see little if any rainfall. The above graphic shows the forecast rainfall from The Hydro-meteorological Prediction Center showing an area of 3"+ of rainfall through Sunday mainly South of Corpus Christi. Most of Texas remains in exceptional drought, with little relief in sight.


As for Arkansas, most of the State is now in moderate drought with the driest conditions across Southern areas. Although a few showers will be around the next couple of days, the rainfall will not be widespread enough to put any meaningful dent in the drought.
