50% in July is far from decent. 150 maybe. 

[Steamboat1874 4060]

There is now a 30% chance (up from 20%) that the low north of Cuba will become a tropical storm or hurricane when it reaches the Gulf Of Mexico near Texas on Friday.

[phdhorn 6224]

Decent chance of spot rain today (coverage will be the greatest of the last 3 days).

Dry next 2 days, then the low thingy moves in from just off Galveston.  Fri-Sat is best rain chance we've had since early June.  I think we'll get some.

That thing near Cuba, way too early to talk about it for Texas.  Wait 2-3 days.

Most, not everyone, in CenTex should get at least a shower if not more between now and Sunday.

I can tell you where it won’t rain ever again. My house! I’ve had storms near enough to smell the rain 3 out of the last 4 days with nary a drop. This morning I’m watching the storms just somehow sit south of me without moving. It’s frustrating to say the least. Having said that, I’ll probably get a Harvey like deluge right above my house this weekend and flood.

Looks like a good chance of rain this coming weekend in the Austin area.

"allegedly"

 

I keep staring at that 50% chance of rain today and silently crying.

The only shower I'll get is in my own shower!

 

I thought that would sound funnier, but no.

Here is the latest Euro weather model for the next 10 days.  It's taking into account that the two invests in the Caribbean/Gulf both make landfall in Texas.  There is still a long way to go between now and then, but the Euro has been a pretty good model over the last several years.  of course, things could change dramatically between now and then. Also, the Euro is the outlier on this...for now.

Well for one, that bullseye is centered around Menard/Junction/Mason. Southeast of San Angelo by a bit.

Gotta rain west of Angelo for Buttes and Fisher. This is going into the San Saba and Llano rivers and flowing into the highland lakes.

There is now a 40% chance that this will be a tropical depression or storm before it makes landfall in Texas.

just once before (it doesn't matter to me) I would like to see the Concho River's and the upper Colorado River fill all the reservoir's...… I would guess the 1936 San Angelo flood and the 1882 Ben Ficklin flood would have done it if the reservoir's had been there.

Posted this in the Tropical storm thread, but it belongs here as well. This is from the NWS and it’s their forecast for rainfall over the next week.

Cows and flat rocks in 78756.  And lots of wind.

NW austin got forcefield fucked. Thanks Bin Laden 

[Paper_jam 831]

There were dark clouds on the horizon, but by the time they got to my house, they barely spat out enough to make my sidewalk damp.

 

[BrazilHorn 6604]

Power out in 78703. Also have had a fire truck and now more coming down the street from me. End of days. 

[BayouBill 835]

Come to papa!

I feel so horribly cheated. Where's my rain, Hanna?

Went camping last night at a friends place out near Blanco. Was so excited to sit up on the hill and look down on the valley, hoping for a nice storm. Didn't even put the damn rain flap on. About 6AM girlfriend wakes me up to put it on. By the time I fastened it down it was all over. I said screw it, left it on and climbed back into the tent. 

Was still a gorgeous night. 

[Paco 1934]

Nope.

[miguelito 11266]

Watched it come up all the way from the coast, and then

I've only gotten a little rain over the last week.  I've watched several storms creep right up to my doorstep only to veer east or west or disappear altogether.  I've probably only gotten 2 inches of rain when a good percentage of the area has gotten much more.  Oh well, it did fill the pool and give the lawn a nice reprieve for a week or so.  I hope the golf courses are in good shape.  I have rounds scheduled for Friday evening and Saturday morning. They should be in great shape after this week. 

[Js1 85335]

Your pool is only 2 inches deep?

[Hate 20108]

It's really more of a puddle.

Probably won't amount to much, but I'll take what I can get at this point. 

[phdhorn 6224]

Believe it or not, this rain is from... <rum roll>... A COLD FRONT passing through. A cold front? In the least likely and hottest week and a half of the year? Granted, "cold" is a relative term but still this is a good old-fashioned northwestern weather front. Odds of that are lower than the Florida Marlins playing 20 games this season!

anyway, I can't remember when this has happened in at least 20 years athough I'm sure it has maybe once. Pretty amazing.

[gmr548 16580]

It has zero impact on the temps but it does look like we'll at least get some more comfortable afternoon dew points the next couple days.

Thunder and shit in 78759 but none of the good stuff.

[Halohal 498]

 

[Updawg 2266]

Pretty good in 749.

[BrazilHorn 6604]

Pouring in the 78703. Flat out coming down.

[MissingInAction 25075]

South Austin's mom is more moist than usual.

[gmr548 16580]

Good stuff in 78759
