Texas Climate Report: March 2008
March 2008 was more active weather wise than the state experienced in February. The month continued the trend of above average temperatures across Texas, as no first-order station recorded below average monthly temperatures. Dallas/Fort Worth recorded the highest departure above average (3.6°F) followed by Wichita Falls (3.0°F). Victoria was the only station that did not record an above average monthly temperature.
Precipitation varied widely across the state. Portions of central and northern Texas recorded above average monthly totals, while the Panhandle and parts of West Texas were very dry. Dallas/Fort Worth, Abilene, San Angelo, Waco, Austin, and College Station all recorded above average precipitation. Amarillo, Lubbock, Midland, and El Paso, however, saw very little in the way of rainfall. In fact, El Paso recorded only a trace of rainfall the entire month.
A more active weather pattern began to set up across the Southern Plains just in time for severe weather season. Several days during the month saw severe weather, including the last day of the month when there were numerous hail and high wind reports across North Texas and Oklahoma.
The Climate Prediction Center indicates that most of the state will continue to experience temperatures generally above normal through April. As far as precipitation, the CPC indicates south Texas and extreme west Texas will have below average rainfall totals in April, while the rest of the state will have an equal chance of seeing above or below average rainfall.
