And here are the projected totals for the next week from the NWS.

Well they were just a little low on that first week prediction. We got hammered Monday and Wednesday.

Rain is coming this a.m. (moving up from the Valley), but most of it will be E of ATX.  However we should get a good shower or two around 10 or 11.

No, it won't wash out the Sahara Dust for more than a few hours.  Most of the dust is gonna get here later today into the weekend anyway.

I can't breathe...through my nose. Seriously, my  sneezing  woke me up and I'm finding it difficult to form thoughts in between allergy attacks.

Mold is pretty high right now due to the rains a few days ago.  I guess that should continue for a few more days now.

So you're suffering from either mold, African dust, corona virus, or something South Austin's mom gave you.

We had all this African dust in the air yesterday. All this rain is going to wash all that dust into the ground water. In a week, when we drink that water, are we going to get Ebola?

It washed Ebola-laden dust and a trillion locust eggs down to earth.  We'll have all the plagues covered in no time.  Time to go out and acquire some lamb's blood.....

No rain, but we are being coated in a fine to medium grain silt.  It sucks

Nope. Finally quit about a year and half ago.

[texhorn 351]

How long is this dust going to stick around?

[Hate 20108]

Or a week or two at most.

[futureman 22457]

from dust you came, and to dust you shall return.

I'm calling bullcrap on this whole Saharan Dust crisis.  We were outside all day yesterday and not a single person wept.

Most of it is gone. It's noticeably clear today. the biggest chunk of it is actually going to move east into Florida and up the Atlantic, and the rest of it, much thinner, is going to move north up toward the great lakes. We're done with it.

[ftf82 485]

It’s fucking raining (360 and Bee Caves)

[Anastasis 23469]

That was nice, but interrupted the kubb game. 

[ZB'Tejas 593]

Decent shower going on in the Downtown area.

Sorry you went 48hrs without rain during the last week of June in Central Texas.  

[boknowstecmo 216]

Meanwhile there's a random flash flood warning from Niederwald to Cedar Creek at the moment.

San Antonio quietly enters Stage 1 drought restrictions as the Edwards Aquifer drops below the 660' MSL threshold. Currently at about 655' and falling quickly , Stage 2 starts at 650'.

Absolutely zero rain in the forecast for the next week or so. F 2020.

We're a few miles south of you (just across the river) but I can hear the thunder from here and the sky has changed to that yellow-ish hue.  But the activity does not look headed this way.  But the pressure just dropped and everything came to a standstill.  Eerie kinda.

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