Central Texas braces for a wetter fall and winter thanks to a strong El Niño, with NOAA forecasting above-average rain—especially after a dry summer. While past strong El Niños haven’t always delivered on wetter falls (only 2015 did), winters show better odds at 50% for extra rain, with standout years like 1997-98. Combined fall-winter seasons? Even more promising: 75% of the time, they’ve been wetter than average—with just one exception in 1982-83. So while it’s not guaranteed, the signs point to a much rainier end to the year.
