2024 Rain Thread: All Your El Nino Are Belong to Us

[UnivTex34 1765]

.36 inches at my place in 48. Just missed the heavy blob to our east.

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 3654]

Very strong La Niña is coming soon. 2025-26 will likely rival 2010-11 for the worst summers ever. Yay!

Last summer would like a word.

Last summer was child’s play compared to what’s coming. 

We aren’t getting shit today. Maybe tomorrow or Sunday.

Yep.  I just got this message from this coming summer:

[MissingInAction 25563]

I got a new HVAC system last summer which is the only thing keeping me in this apt. 

If that thing fails its all over, man.

Hellacious constant thunder woke me up in RR at 5am. Then had about 20 minutes of torrents of rain, and some very small hail.

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 3654]

Sunny and clear in Comal County. Lulz.

[SubliminalHorn 7009]

Wild weather event so far

Nice golf today at Vaaler Creek, thanks?

I'm gonna go look at the stars, since they're out, since it's not raining. 

[boknowstecmo 221]

Laredo getting fucking pounded by a ginormous super cell that's been dropping probably huge tornadoes over Mexico for the past four hours or so. Tennis ball hail and 70mph winds.

... Not that it helps us at all. Fucking bullshit weather day.

That cell is insane. Holy shit.

Someone angered it. It’s flexing.

Looks like NB will be the bridesmaid again today

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 3654]

Might get something cooking soon. Fuck this humidity if no rain though.

[InkaUtexas 26920]

Calling for 100% tonight in the 666. Means shit is going to hit Canyon Lake, break N and S and we will gut squirrel piss. Maybe PHD in Beecaves will get some rain. Oh wait.

I received 0.04" since yesterday.

We'll see how this one flames out

[UT_OB1 2266]

We were camping in brazos bend last night. Got heavy rain around 6p plus haul, then a break until sometime around midnight I guess. Crazy amount of lightning. On our way out today, not far from the park, we saw a power line pole snapped in half and tbe wooden fence farther off the road looked like something ran through it. Wild night.

got an 1.25" in 30 minutes yesterday per flood control

I can already see the split coming. We'll get some drizzle from the outskirts of some wild storm to our south and east, and another line with travel west of us.

The Austin FF farts in this storm's general direction.

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 3654]

Dry air pushing in from the west about to fuck us again. This system fucked around for too long- too little, too late.

It’s so shitty that every forecasted “significant multi-day rain event” always seems to get squashed down to a few hours of an overnight MCS moving through on the way out.

I dunno dude I think it may actually be happening. 

 

I opened a bottle of wine that my wife is gonna be mad at me for opening when she wakes up but I wanted to stay up and savor this if it happened.

Oh it’s definitely gonna rain some. Just not exactly what could’ve been. I suppose I shouldn’t bitch.

Enjoy the wine, good luck in the morning…

[NorthLoop 14500]

I decided a few days ago to blow my mulched leaves into the street at the consternation of my neighbors because I was convinced the upcoming monsoon would wash them away into the greenbelt the same day. Hoping tonight grants me that wish before my neighbors come at me with pitchforks. 

[Biff Tannen 46177]

Sounded like a lot

[troph 25238]

we are at .7 inches from last night, but look at this split - I consider the Travis and LBJ watersheds the Travis watershed bc LBJ is constant level and we whiffed…. again (not that a single inch would do anything). Still, one after the other after another, our water source is just cursed.

I was out like a light but at some point in the middle of the night we had a big lightning strike quite nearby (2222/360),  Woke up this morning and our power had gone out.  Thanks, Greg.

[GreenspointTexas 9987]

East texas has been getting fucking POUNDED for the past 3 days. Holy shit

I take back what I said about no rain. Nice rain overnight. Not what we needed, but I will take it. Now come the mosquitos.

[Biff Tannen 46177]

.8 inches since midnight at the LCRA gauge down the street.  I'll take it.

This weather has been so awesome I’m choosing to ignore all my problems today. I loved every minute of it. Sitting outside right now listening to some fantastic music and drinking a nice burgundy after dinner and just breathing that cool clean air.

El Nino is a crock of shit. Yay, a quarter inch. 

[Guest]

A rainy day that's so not rainy this thread doesn't even get bumped. 

[Guest]

March looking like it will come it at under 1" at my place (forecast through the end of the month is "drier than normal.")

Thanks El Nino.

[InkaUtexas 26920]

Line is building out west. What will forcefield do?

Wunderground saying chance for small hail. To tempt fate I will put out some nice plants. You can thank me later.

[utee94 16091]

Mr. McKittrick, after very careful consideration, sir, I've come to the conclusion that your new El Nino sucks.
