Yeah that front had 40-50% chances a few days before... and then poof.

I believe it was an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.

Houston doesn’t count 

Yeah we get 50+” a year. “It’s gonna rain” forecast is always in the cards, even when it’s not.

Austin might be the weirdest place on earth for rain. At the end of the year it's rained 35 inches, but it never seems like it fucking rains. We're nearly a month in the year and had 0.1" of rain? And today's 80% chance of rain has turned into... pffffft.

In NE Austin, I haven't had a thorough rain (the kind that actually wets the soil) since one time in October. And I don't recall getting anything significant in September.

Because it comes in 2-4" dumps with a lot of nothing in-between.

And it seems to always rain in the middle of the night.

Especially the most severe stuff.  That was the case in Houston... the most screwed up flooding-type rain loved to arrive at night just to screw up your sleep.

Some models are seeing a potential big rainmaker for SE Texas on Monday.

10 inches of rain in Lake Jackson. Zero in Austin. 

Par for the course.

What the cuss happened to the rain chances on Friday in Austin?  For a week, long-term forecasts had it well above 50%, now it's 20% isolated AM showers.  Which don't make a shit.  

Will Monday at least pan out for us?

I wouldn't say you get nothing.  The NWS doesn't seem as bullish about the rain as some of the weather models, but they are usually pretty conservative until just a couple of days before the event.

Good rain for Austin Monday.

Less but at least some rain for Austin Wednesday.

Wed. freezing precip gets close, but nah.

Then it gets cold for 3-4 days, like last week (40's-20's in ATX area).

The end.

Any word on La Nina? Sticking around for a while?

Usually a late fall/winter thing, so the forecast for the rest of the winter is... it's starting to weaken as expected, but could last through April in some forms.  Here is ENSO's latest summary:

I think most of the rain is past us now, however there could be another lighter wave as the atmosphere heats up this afternoon.  In any case should be all outta here for the rest of the evening.

Then we wait - for the Cold of Death.

Hmmm... Wrong on the amount but right on the time of day (quote the sentence before the one you did). Probably poor use of  preposition but you have to get to an evening in order to have the "rest of" it (I posted that just after noon).  Should have said something like "out of here by later this evening." In fact Zach Shields my man at channel 7 was the only weather guy I heard call it correctly. So I sort of us6e his forecast but called for less rain.

So I'll take half your money not the whole thing.
