By the way, is that a mountain ridge in western Mexico? It's been getting hammered every time I look at these precip forecasts.

I live in SD and was wondering why it’s been so humid recently so I asked around. Apparently it’s Mexican Monsoon season.

Man, we need to get ourselves one of those monsoon seasons!

We’ve only just had a sprinkle so far in downtown Houston.

[Fudge Nuggets 19,118]

@Hate we got a nice little shower over here by the Cochran's Crossing shopping center.

[Biff Tannen 45,476]

Are we actually maybe going to get SOMETHING in Austin?  Maybe?

Only sprinkles on the west side...just enough to get things wet.

I can see the tops of those clouds from Navasota, and I know without doubt that I won't get a drop of it on my place.  I hope you get some at yours.

Got at least a half inch (according to pool level) just north of there... And looking like more to come...

Yeah, I wasn’t home for it but we ended up getting an inch of rain at my house. This was the first real measurable rain since the beginning of May.

[texasdago 7,550]

Hi.

I hate you.

Bye.

Looking at harriscountyfws.org the nice rain was SE of downtown.  Most other places around Houston have less than .10 inches of rain so far today.

So based on that, if I was still living in Houston, I would still hate the same people.

Could hardly see east of Baytown until about lumberton then again east in 190 out of Jasper it was raining so much. I10 was pretty slow going because of all the water on the road

Look at this wrong son of a bitch.  There's water falling from the sky in 77868.  It won't be much, but I'll take it!

Dumbass.

June 3rd was last measurable rain at DFW.  We got 3 weeks and 2 days to set the all time record.   I love this plan.  I'm excited to be a part of it.

Solid inch in Indian Springs. Glorious

[LonghornSean 3,941]

Guys, I shit you not, I just felt a couple drops while walking my dog downtown near the capitol.

It won’t be anything measurable, and frankly it was barely noticeable but it was actual water falling from the sky.

Ended up just getting some extended periods of "lightdrizzle" yesterday afternoon and for about an hour this morning. About 1/10 of an inch in the past 24 hours. Just enough to keep temps down and make the driveway look wet, but far cry from a drought-buster.

Nice one in 78748 for about 15 minutes.  

[Anastasis 23,375]

It’s happening gif 

[UnivTex34 1,763]

What the fuck just fell from the sky in the 48?

 

weather station reminded me this morning it was 50 days since last rain. Quarter of an inch, I’ll take it.

[Anastasis 23,375]

[HenryJames 65,868]

Rained for about 10 minutes in 78722.

[Blotto 23,418]

Was on 35 heading north around Pflugerville when it came down. Predictably Austin drivers handled the situation like professionals. JK... Saw one guy into center divider, and about 3 other near wrecks in a couple of miles. 

 

[WBT 20,397]

Got 1/2 inch today

[Nicole44 22,023]

I guess where I am at in Atlanta is about to get blasted but it’s creepy calm.

This put a smile on my face. Also, fuck La Niña. We’ve had enough of you bitch…move along.

 

[NorthLoop 14,071]

At least 5 times this weekend I've watched cells come towards my house and just disappear. We haven't gotten a single drop.

The past couple of pages have been a great reminder that Houston gets 51.84" of rain a year to San Antonio's 32.38". 

[jimmyjazz 45,512]

Reminds me of trying to convince my wife to move to Portland -- "too much rain" -- 43 inches per year, Austin is 35 inches, Houston is 53 -- "wut?".

Facts don't matter.

[InkaUtexas 25,423]

Had a nice shower in the 666 while swimming the river. Was so nice. 73 degree river and warm rain. I had a third beer laughing at everyone running from the rain. Um, you were in the river. People...... 

[Biff Tannen 45,476]

52% chance of rain on Thursday according to Dark Sky.  What sorcery is this?

San Marcos and Bee Caves will get a 20 minute shower while the rest of us get blue balls watching the radar screen.

NL knows what's up.

Saturday morning, dropped a kiddo off at the airport.  A handful of raindrops on the windshield on the way there, then another handful as we approached home (NW Hills) on the way back.  And that was it.  Rumbles of thunder heard later in the afternoon, but the pavement never even got wet.

It was a double-layer deep blueball experience.  F this summer.

[texasdago 7,550]

We got maybe 15 minutes on Saturday... sidewalks got wet and we sat on the covered porch to enjoy the slightly cooler temps but honestly it didn't really do anything.

No we won't here in San Marcos. Shit will hit the city limits and no rain will fall. We did get a few showers yesterday. Swimming in the river while it rained was so nice. 

[NorthLoop 14,071]

San Marcos doesn't get to claim forcefield. I watch time and time again as SM gets nailed while NB gets missed.
