October 3, 2019 Update

Hello Arroyo Partners, 

It looks like it is shaping up to be a wet Fall and Winter. It has been raining for the on and off for the last 3 weeks and in between the rains, the temperature is still reaching +90*. We sure could use some more rain. The weather prognosticators are predicting a cold front for Monday that should trigger even more rain. We will wait and see. We have a great workshop coming up, see below.

Hello Arroyo Partners, 

We have been receiving some very much needed rain. You can almost set your clock to it; opening day of white-wing season in the Valley, and it rains! At least we got the first day of hunting in before the rains started. The weather prognosticators are predicting a wet fall and winter for the RGV. I hope that they are right.

Cotton harvesting is in full swing with farmers trying to complete harvesting before any September rain.Good Luck everyone!

January 10, 2019 Update

Hello Arroyo Partners, 

I hope everyone is well rested from the holidays and that you are off to a very good new year. The weather has been very mild this winter. We have not received all of the rain associated with the cold fronts that have blown through the last month or so. The tail end of the front keeps missing the Valley and rains on the Coastal Bend. Hopefully the next couple of fronts will reach us and we will have a wet January and February.
