October Rain Could End The Drought

Weatherbug_Oct26.jpg Another wet October day is really adding up to the end of the drought.
Now, if we could only slow the rain down and let it soak into the ground where it will really help us out the most. Farmers and ranchers have been waiting for this kind of rain for over two years. They just don't want it to come all at once. As you can see from the rainfall totals today another two to three inches fell in southeast Texas since this morning, with a few more showers expected early this evening. The official rainfall at Bush was a daily record of 2.33", almost an inch more than the old record of 1.38" in 1953. The October rainfall at Bush now stands at 10.07". This is 6.28" above the typical October rainfall. We are now seeing a deficit of less than two and half inches for the year. The next wet weather pattern from Thursday through Friday could end the drought.
