celticdragonflyI found the following news:
Severe weather and flash-flood warnings have marked eight of the past nine days in North Texas, but the National Weather Service says this spring's overall rainfall is still below normal.
"Early June is still our prime season for severe weather, and while this is an unusual spell of severe weather, it's certainly not unprecedented for this part of the country for this time of the year," said Gary Woodall, warning coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Fort Worth.
Scattered thunderstorms are expected across the region through Thursday, with heavy rainfall, winds up to 60 mph and nickel-size hail possible through Wednesday. Flash flooding is also possible.
June storms mean trees and grass will be slower to brown and 100-degree days will be slower to come this summer. Weather experts say a ridge of high pressure that develops over the area each summer also may be slow to appear -- meaning skies will be cloudier and the ground won't dry out so quickly.
Well, I suppose that last is good news. We'll just get used to this. Hopefully the house will stand up to it and we won't have flooding. The Walmart down in Lake Worth is closed from flooding, and a family from the UU church that lives up in Azle got flooded out last night. (And they've had enough troubles already, poor them!)
