Looking for a flood

Area meteorologists aren’t enthusiastic about the prospects of a rainy spring, as El Nino bows out and La Nina walks downstage. Bob Rose certainly sees no more than light showers late tomorrow:

"While this is typically a fairly dry time of the year, the overall pattern seems to have shifted back toward dry after a period of rain in January.  With most storm systems being too weak or tracking too far to the north, I’m not confident we’ll see a wet period return anytime soon."

So, even though the marina wants a new annual contract, the boat remains practically inaccessible on vanishing Lake Travis. That’s Texas, long periods of drought broken by intense flooding. I’m ready.
