If I had been in a coma, all calendars were hidden and I had to guess when it was, I'd answer the end of August. The weather has been like late August for the last two days.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX
337 AM CDT MON JUN 13 2011

.DISCUSSION...
AS THE CENTER OF THE UPPER RIDGE EDGES A BIT CLOSER TO THE
REGION...SEE NO REASON HIGH TEMPS WON`T CLIMB A DEGREE OR TWO
FROM THE DAY BEFORE. THE RIDGE SHOULD MOVE BACK TO THE SW
WED/THURS AS A TROF MOVES ACROSS THE PLAINS...BUT BUILDS RIGHT
BACK IN (AND POSSIBLY STRONGER) OVER THE WEEKEND. THE 00Z NAM12
DOES SHOW SOME SHRA/TSTM CHANCES ACROSS NE ZONES WED AFTN & EVNG
ASSOCIATED WITH A VORT RIDING SEWD BETWEEN THE RIDGE TO THE SW AND
TROF TO THE NORTH. WILL KEEP AN EYE ON WHAT FUTURE MODEL RUNS HAVE
TO SAY...BUT FOR NOW EXPECT RAIN CHANCES TO BE SLIM TO NONE FOR
THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE AREA FOR THE NEXT 7-10+ DAYS. 47

Otherwise, vegetation will continue to slowly die from lack of water.

Only once in my life can I remember a drought of this magnitude. Even the hardiest of grasses have quit growing and are dying from the lack of moisture.

I've lived in Houston 60 years - NEVER seen so much dead grass, dead flower beds, etc. I gave up on the vegetation and have now resorted to watering MY SLAB to help keep it from cracking.

Mowed my dirt today, and watered the cracks in the yard. Some one in china is happy cause the crack never filled up. It's now 12:35 am and still 84 out side. What's aug going to be like?
