Yep.  Over an inch in the last hour.  It’s dry as shit.   Me and Andy Dufresne are one tonight. 

Puts us at more than 31 for the year. It hasn't been a bad drought year outside of a usual shit August.

My model (of not getting any rain overnight) also agrees with this.

Y'all have better subscriptions than I do, but a few sites early this morning showing rain starting around 1:00p and continuing off/on through Friday afternoon.  I like it.  

With humidity, heat indexes still gonna touch 100+ for the next week.  I got a lot riding on next Wednesday being the game-changer.  Then it appears we head into a hot/dry pattern for back half of September.  C'mon Autumn!  

[Trey3216 15346]

Close to 5 inches now in Hewitt.  From bone dry to fully quenched in a day.  Ain’t Texas great!

Agree w ya', looks like the 10 day calls for a cool/cold front late next week.  Highs in mid 80s and lows in mid 60s for Houston area.

Unbelievable and still going.  Wife had a flat this morning so that was great.  I'd rather  change a tire in the rain than the heat.

your turn with SA's mom?

[Guest Lobo]

I would say moist to moderately moist.  Really starting to come down now at 10:30a in South Austin, was just a teaser drizzle for the last 30 minutes.  looks like now it's gonna end at 1pm, not start at 1pm.  And then another wave at 6pm possibly lasting through the night.  But I'll hang up and listen for the board experts to chime in.  Really did a nice number to the learning pod temps and the breeze is lovely.  Wish I could trade out my Shoal Creek back patio lunch yesterday for today.  My balls are still stuck to my legs from that ordeal.  /csb

got a good shower down near manchaca

[Biff Tannen 45685]

Kinda drizzly up in Hyde Park.  Moar coming?

That would put us over our annual average already for the year with 4 months to go.

Yep.  Now I'll have to mow my yard 3 times in the next 2 weeks as well.  

[Post Oak 20213]

Got another inch last night and so far this AM.  Put me at just over 6 inches since Tuesday night.

Pissed me off.  Left work yesterday and the air smelled wet and it felt like a damn sauna... But nothing. 

[irishtexan 11519]

There is an 80 percent chance of rain in South Austin tonight but I'm planning on using my grill because I know better.

[bolverk 29672]

The radar does show it's raining in Bee Cave...

[phdhorn 6224]

About 3 inches in the last half hour actually.

BTW, is that great, funny thread about blast furnace still up? Just wonderin'!

Very good chances of rain are in the forecast for at least the next 7 days, so you'll get yours.

[Radical Larry 28616]

Getting the shit kicked out of us near 2222 and 360.

[Guest Lobo]

Near MoPac & 360... Lots of thunder, lots of rain since just after 1:00p.  Sky is a dark green and angry right now, like an old alien sending back soup at a deli.

I'm in the rain in a van up by the mall at 360/Loop 1.  #foleybrag

So where is all this glorious rain coming from? It wasn't in the forecast a couple days ago.

Water evaporates and turns into clouds. Then they pee on us.

Brushy Creek 78717 got a half inch in about 20 minutes this afternoon.

[NorthLoop 14203]

Still selling speakers?

[Deej 76791]

I can always count on rain when I have three extra dogs at the house. 

[Guest Lobo]

You never see those guys anymore.  Wonder if it's because their speakers don't have bluetooth capability.  I guess they went back to something more sinister like hauling bodies.

FIL got taken by a projector TV scam by those guys a couple of years ago in Bryan.  $500.

[SquishMitten 10406]

Welp, let’s hope tomorrow is better. Only 1/8th of an inch at my place in Shady Hollow

0.11” in my neck of the woods today.

Finally getting a pretty good downpour here in Buda.

[South Austin 52504]

Lots of water and 'lectricity in Brentwood.

[bolverk 29672]

Is today Opposite Day or Freaky Friday? The force field has become a magnet.

 

[Guest Lobo]

Yeah, I think Freaky Friday.  It's the rain can't move out of Austin.  And for you far south Austin folks, you are getting payback for yesterday's miss.  Enjoy.  

Although, I'm worried that we may all get our electricity knocked out unfortunately.

Mine has gone out twice this morning.

 

 

Make that 3 times now. Last one just tripped 5 breakers.

[phdhorn 6224]

Does it always rain in Bee Cave?

Why yes, yes it does.

[Anastasis 23469]

Nice rain. Feels great out here.
