After touching land in northwestern Mexico, Willa Hurricane It weakens quickly on rough and dry terrain. But the remains of that category 3 storm pushed a current of moisture and rain northeast towards Texas.
While Willa did not bring overwhelming rain to Texas, the infusion of moisture was not welcome in a state that was already in the grip of serious flood. As September 2018, a series of storms have delivered historical amounts of rain to the center of Texas. A particularly strong cold front in mid-October fell. more than one foot of rain in some areas.
The flood of saturated soils, Overfilled lakes and reservoirs, and pushed rivers on its banks. A river even flowed back. In a series of proclamations Issued throughout October, the governor of Texas declared the state of disaster in 111 counties due to flooding and severe weather.
Several satellites observed the flood and its consequences. On November 1, 2018, the Operational Earth Imager (OLI) in Landsat 8 captured a false color view (bands 7-6-4) of floods along the Nueces River near Calallen. At that time, a current meter in nearby Mathis showed that the river had risen to 9 meters (28 feet), placing it 1 meter (3 feet) above the flood level. As noted by the meteorologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Scott Bachmeier, several satellites captured images that showed a pulse of water from the flood that flowed down the Nueces River from October 27 to 28, 2018.
The map shows the satellite measurements of rain from October 1 to October 31, 2018. The brightest areas reflect the highest amounts of rainfall, and many places receive 25 to 45 centimeters (10 to 17 inches) or more during this time. The measures are the product of Global precipitation measurement The mission (GPM), which is a partnership between NASA, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and five other national and international partners.
These rainfall totals are regional estimates, obtained by remote sensing. Each pixel shows 0.1 degrees of the globe (approximately 11 kilometers at the equator), and the data is averaged across each pixel. Therefore, individual measurements on the ground within a pixel can be significantly higher or lower than the satellite average.
Dallas Fort Worth Airport registered 39.77 centimeters (15.66 inches) of rain in October 2018, making it the wettest October in the world. according to the National Meteorology Service. While statistics are still being finalized throughout the state, October is likely to decrease as second wettest month in Texas in the registry.
