I love it when they show 2-3 models and one of them is waaaaay off but people like to remember that one.  Like spaghetti models...  IAN IS GOING TO HIT WACO!!!!!

I just let my daughter draw the rain coming out our way right on the TV with her crayola markers.  Makes her feel important.  hasn't worked in almost 40 days though sweetheart!  Current projections has rain hitting right as RHCP hit the stage Sunday night.  Perfect.  

Even my weeds are burning up and I'm losing tree limbs left and right.  And not because it's Autumn.

Those rain totals are over 7 days and mostly expected on Sunday and Monday when the front is supposed to arrive. 
 

I’ll just hope the front shows up and brings half of that regional total.

There was a pocket of wet road in round rock/Georgetown on my drive home last night. Then my kid’s soccer practice was cancelled due to lighting that was east of us so hutto/manor.  A precious few got some rain yesterday.

In Seabrook here. We had a quick sprinkle out of no where last night then the downpour this morning. Of course the roof on our production building wasn’t planned to go back on until Friday 🤦‍♂️

It’s never going to rain again. I gave up on that months ago.

Frisco got hit pretty hard.  rained most of the day

[Guest]

That round about six weeks ago, got about half as much as most places.

Last night got about 2", which seems to be considerably more than most. Man, everything needed it.

[WithoutAClue 15341]

2.5" in Cedar Park overnight. i'll take it.

[utee94 15808]

1.7" at my house in NW Travis.

The Halloween decorations took a beating, but we will rebuild!

 

[SquishMitten 10403]

.75” but it’s also my watering day, so that makes it a little more beneficial. Get that water good and deep. Guess that’s it for this round? Or is there any chance that stuff out west holds together? My apps don’t think it’s likely

Hopefully your homeowner's insurance will cover it.  I'd submit a claim ASAP.  Those fuckers always drag their feet.

.5" earlier this morning

2.3” in 78717 overnight.

I seeded Bermuda on Saturday so this helps. How many days in a row do I need to water to get the seeds to sprout? Can I miss any days? Just curious as I would like to avoid fines for watering on non-watering days.

Seeds really need watering twice a day for a couple of weeks. Best of luck.

That kind of sucks. I guess I have to accept the fines. Any more rain coming in the next few weeks?

If you're crafty I doubt you'll get caught.

[utee94 15808]

How much did you seed?  Hand-watering is still permitted in most locations.

Are manual sprinklers permitted or do I need to get a nozzle and stand out there with the hose?

[texasdago 7568]

.6"

I am disappoint

Hand watering means you out there holding the nozzle.

Just ask your husband to do it. 

[jimmyjazz 45892]

It's "dark" for nearly 12 hours right now.  Today in Austin, sunrise was 7:35 AM, and sunset is 6:58 PM.  Plan your watering accordingly -- it would take some seriously nosy neighbors to even notice.

I thought that is what kids are for.

[boknowstecmo 216]

Cold front plus remnants of Hurricane Roslyn means we'll likely get rain tomorrow, possibly even something fierce. Can't wait.

[South Austin 52456]

Lies.

[YGIFS 19449]

Shit, there's tornado watch tomorrow 'cause of this shit?  Driest fucking October in 100 years and possibly deadly tornadoes, what a wonderful fucking fall!  Well at least we're looking at a steady rainfall for basically all daylight hours tomorrow adding up to 1-1.5"

I think I already spend enough time standing around holding my nozzle.

Eh, pretty normal pattern. October front giving parts of Texas a 2% chance of Tornadoes with straight line winds being the primary threat from NWS is just plain ole fall weather.

Just get a beer in the other hand so even if someone complains, you have photographic evidence that you didn’t realize you may have violated wagering restrictions.

I mean I doubt there's already one. Could end up needing one tomorrow night, though, especially for east and southeast Texas.

For Austin? Looks like we are on the edge of the heavy stuff from what I saw, but 0.5" possible. At least it shows 100% chance of rain. That can never be wrong... right?

[Guest]

Ha. Just saw the weather. It's showing a 70% chance and then the model run KXAN showed had 0.01". As of earlier today it was 100% chance.

Same shit, different day.

[Biff Tannen 45665]

Coming down nicely in 78751 right now.

[Pato del Muerto 52487]

Been weird. Never seems like it’s properly raining, but the ground is staying wet. No sun to aid in evaporation, but still.

That’s how it’s been around downtown and in my hood.

Okay, now it’s pouring.

A little drizzle this afternoon in NW Travis.  Weather app previously forecast rain all afternoon, now it's down to just 60% at 9 or 10, and I suspect that won't actually happen.  Big ol' bust, as expected.

The real stuff is already building out west. If it extends down far enough, we could get another round of rain tonight.

My Dark Sky app said under a tornado watch. Will we see any real action? It’s pretty still in 78717…

Lots of big hail at Inks Lake.

Yup, seems so.
