La Nina May be Ending after Fourth Wettest Dec. to Feb. on Record
(New Braunfels, TX) -- If the recent rainfall trend is any indication, it looks like South-Central Texas may soon be saying “Adios!” to the notoriously dry La Nina weather pattern.
The National Weather Service here in New Braunfels issued a report yesterday that shows that the above average rainfall in the San Antonio area has actually made for the 4th wettest December to February since they started keeping records back in 1871.
To date, San Antonio has reported 12.21-inches of rain since December 2011 through February 2012. That's almost 7-inches above the normal historical rainfall amount for the region this time of year.
Austin has also seen its share of rainfall, with the Austin Bergstrom Airport reporting 16-inches from December to February. That's good for the 2nd wettest on record, at a little over 9-inches over the normal rainfall amount.
And all of this points to the possible end of the La Nina weather pattern, and a shift to a more neutral pattern. KGNB News Reporter Scott Morgan has much more on this story, and you can hear his full report by clicking the Audio Clip link below.
