Rage is a lot more appropriate in this thread:

I am the Nina The Pinta The Santa Maria
The noose and the rapist
And the fields overseer
The agents of orange
The priests of Hiroshima
The cost of my desire
Sleep now in the fire

Just drove back from Lumberton to Houston on Hwy 90 about an hour ago. Rained buckets from Sour Lake all the way until about 2 miles NE of 610 and of course it was bone dry in the city. Was quite pissed off, thinking I'd gotten skunked again, but just got a pretty decent little 10 minute downpour here in GOOF, at least enough to soak the lawn and flower beds and save me from needing to water this evening.

The gulf moisture random rain machine is crazy. We got about 0.15” here in a few minutes and gone (la Porte ish). The wedge surrounded by 45-225-bw8 got 2”!

Another day of the models showing us near normal or on the edge of wetter than average. Looks promising that there will at least be the chance of some sort of rain in the next couple of weeks, but it ain't going to be next week:

Texas is the prolapsed asshole of precipitation.

Got home from running errands about an hour ago and found about 0.03 inch of rain in my gauge.  Not even enough to cool things off, and everything is already dry as a bone, but every 0.01 inch is something.

that wasn't rain....

KXAN has a story on their website that shows how we went from essentially no drought in Texas by late fall 2021 to the current situation:

 

95% of TX moderate drought or worse

84% of TX severe drought or worse

57% of TX extreme drought or worse

20% exceptional drought

 

That's an amazing swing in a short period of time.

Texas has 2 weather patterns. Flood and Drought
 

Some of the earliest federal weather literature on Texas says “Texas is a state of regular drought punctuated by periodic catastrophic floods.” It was true in 1920, it’s truer today.

It's never going to rain again in central Texas.

And it's going to be 100 every day.

 

Seriously, look at this map and tell me it doesn't feel like some supervillian is using a drought machine to hold Texas hostage.

And the edges of the state that are predicted to get rain are basically coterminous with ERCOT boundaries lmao

The colors, what do they mean?

The darker the color, the more extreme level of drought. I'm not sure this image is the same source, but looks about right

Jacobs Well 

The well, which is spring-fed, has officially ceased flowing, according to a post from Jacob’s Well Natural Area’s Facebook page. The U.S. Geologic Survey measured a zero cubic foot per second (cfs) discharge in recent days.

Isolated showers for some, heat for all

This is only the fourth time in recorded history that the well has ceased flowing.

2 straight days with some relatively substantial late-afternoon showers rolling through the middle of Houston for about 20-30 minutes. Is that legal?

And yet not a drop yesterday at my house a whopping 4 miles from my office. At least Tuesday I caught some of the outer fringes of the storm.

Heaviest rainfall in weeks the past 15 minutes in 77018. Some minor street flooding and had water pouring over the sides of my gutters. Already moved on.

It’s noisy, neighbor

So 8-14 day has shown green for Austin the past couple of days. Now the 6-10 day is as well. Ain't much, but it's all we got. Been about 6 weeks since I've seen any rain at my house.
