Drought Update

The weather outlook for our basin over the next six months still doesn't offer much hope for significant rain. Despite a couple of rain events across the Hill Country during November and early December, the overall pattern hasn't changed. A weak to moderate La Nina is in place and is forecast to cause a pattern of drier than normal weather across most of Texas through late winter. La Nina is forecast to weaken around April, but it’s unclear whether there will be significant rainfall in May and June.

The Texas drought - already the Lone Star State’s worst one-year drought on record - is now expected to last through at least next summer, and perhaps far longer than that, according to the latest climate projections released by NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center (CPC) and recent testimony by the Texas state climatologist.
