Discussion: A dry pattern affects the central and southern Plains most of the next 10 days while the northern Plains is snowy. In the 11-15 day forecast models agree on a Western U.S. upper trough enabling wet weather across the drought area in the 11-15 day period. The model trend including persistence favors the wetter pattern affecting areas farther south including Texas while the southwest Plains gain only marginal relief.
Fig. 1: Rainfall forecast for days 11-15 by the GFS indicates a dry pattern central and southern Plains reverses wet.
Fig. 2: The trend in the forecast is wetter to the south across Texas.
