[NorthLoop 14,197]

Different 10 day forecasts are all over the place. None of those fuckers have a clue what's going to happen.

Current forecast has a Saturday high of 71 and mostly cloudy.  Might get a tad chilly at ACL Fest.

I believe the term is nipply. Don't tell the Coeds about the cold front and will be a great time for all.

Glad I spread grass seed all over my backyard that I now have to hand water for two extra days instead of the rain that was supposed to happen.

[Hard Times 302]

I collected a bucket of run off water during heavy rain times and during light rain times and they both weighed the same. So I don't know how these idiot forecasters think they know the difference?

[utee94 15,823]

100% on Thursday?  LOL.

Did the same. All these little birds are eating it and going to reseed my neighbors lawn. 

I need a cat.

Translation: we may or may not get measurable rainfall on Thursday with a frontal passage.

Houston area getting a steady soaking this morning. Nothing heavy yet, but a consistent light rain since before sunup.  Looks like some stronger stuff down in Brazoria/Fort Bend that may or may not make it to the city center later. 

Unrelated to the front making its way down south. Little disturbance that originated out in the Gulf. If you're anywhere inside a triangle drawn from Matagorda to Hunstville to Beaumont, you're likely to get at least some rain today.

Everything I've been watching has had it pretty consistent with about 1.5-3 inches over the past several days.

I'm so stupid. "Huh? What? I don't see models trending down!!1!"

The forcefield has become so powerful, it now preemptively eliminates rain.

FML kxan now saying west of Austin half inch is likely, as in no more than that. Piece of god damn chicken shit.

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 2,948]

[utee94 15,823]

It is never going to rain again.

[YGIFS 19,450]

It’s gonna be 100 fucking degrees tomorrow with the heat index.  I know cooler temps and rain are on the way but I just wanted to tell summer 23 to get fucked one last time.  This was fucking ridiculous.  I was hand watering my front yard for an hour tonight.  I don’t fucking get this shit anymore.

Austin and Hill Country will get nothing and like it
 

Why is it when they predict big rains, we get nothing and when they give a %30 chance, we get torrential floods?

Because you touch yourself at night.

And most days.

Just wait until we're back in the 90s by mid-next week.

Seriously, why do they even bother talking about this stuff a week out? Just saw a KXAN update with lower totals... again... with talk of it trending drier. They've gone from talking about multiple days of rain and several inches to maybe an inch if you're lucky.

Then they said the dreaded "broken line of showers" moving through tomorrow morning. All that means is there will be a fat gap in Austin.

Anytime rain is predicted for Austin, I follow the advice of Coach Leach, expect sun.

The models have been trending the wrong direction though. Looks like one real day of rain on Thursday- at least it’ll be a little cooler.

Ive seen this play out too many times…QPF models get excited in this range and then step down as we get closer. 

Every damn time. 

[Biff Tannen 45,683]

Wunderground says shits gonna get started in austin around 2am. I’m staying up to make sure and if not I’m gonna blast the clouds with my shotgun.

It's trying to build. Maybe if it hits at 2 instead of sunrise well get more rain? Whatever, this is going to be a rain letdown. At least it'll be cooler.

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 2,948]

Doesn’t look too bad- should fill in as it moves SE

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 2,948]

Can really see the new convection popping up along the line now.
