dry levels severe
It shouldn't be too severe yet. If we see these dry levels this summer, it could be disastrous.
mode persistent seeing seem
(El Nio) can be very persistent on occasion, and it does seem like we are in a mode where we are seeing them more frequently.

We are in a weak El Nio that started a few months back and is gradually building. Typically what ends up happening is we get more 'cyclogenesis' --the formation of storms -- taking place in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico off of the Texas coast. Once these things form they tend to track towards the Northwest. It puts (Lufkin) in proximity for some rainfall.
