As the song goes, "rain, rain, go away, come back some other day...." For us in the Brazos Valley, we wanted to rain, and well we got it good. March was a wonderful month. We were able to pull out of the drought and collect over 8 inches of rainfall.
Officially at Easterwood Airport, 8.66" if rain was collected over the course of the 31 days of March. This set a new record for most rainfall in the third month of the year. Additionally, for the year, 20.74" has been recorded. Therefore, from January to March, this has been the second wettest start to a year in recorded history. The wettest start was 20.79" in 1991.
Furthermore, the time period between the 1st of February and the 31st of March was the wettest February-March combination in history with 17.95" of rainfall. On top off all that, March 2012, was the 6th warmest on record. The average temperature for the month was 67.1 degrees.
More rain is in the offing tomorrow with the potential for severe weather.
