January 3, 20223 yr You'd think we might have gotten a drop or two with a serious cold front running roughshod into 81 degree, muggy weather. Not even a hint.

January 24, 20223 yr Author Is it too much to ask for something more than this drizzle to help wash out the cedar pollen?
January 24, 20223 yr Austin might be the weirdest place on earth for rain. At the end of the year it's rained 35 inches, but it never seems like it fucking rains. We're nearly a month in the year and had 0.1" of rain? And today's 80% chance of rain has turned into... pffffft.
January 24, 20223 yr In NE Austin, I haven't had a thorough rain (the kind that actually wets the soil) since one time in October. And I don't recall getting anything significant in September.

January 27, 20223 yr 4 minutes ago, Hate said: Some models are seeing a potential big rainmaker for SE Texas on Monday. 10 inches of rain in Lake Jackson. Zero in Austin. Par for the course.

January 27, 20223 yr What the cuss happened to the rain chances on Friday in Austin? For a week, long-term forecasts had it well above 50%, now it's 20% isolated AM showers. Which don't make a shit. Will Monday at least pan out for us?
January 27, 20223 yr There is a joke abut an old West Texan who bet his friends that it would never rain again and ended up collecting from two of them.
January 28, 20223 yr I wouldn't say you get nothing. The NWS doesn't seem as bullish about the rain as some of the weather models, but they are usually pretty conservative until just a couple of days before the event.
January 28, 20223 yr Good rain for Austin Monday. Less but at least some rain for Austin Wednesday. Wed. freezing precip gets close, but nah. Then it gets cold for 3-4 days, like last week (40's-20's in ATX area). The end. Edited January 28, 20223 yr by phdhorn

Usually a late fall/winter thing, so the forecast for the rest of the winter is... it's starting to weaken as expected, but could last through April in some forms. Here is ENSO's latest summary:
January 31, 20223 yr I think most of the rain is past us now, however there could be another lighter wave as the atmosphere heats up this afternoon. In any case should be all outta here for the rest of the evening. Then we wait - for the Cold of Death.
January 31, 20223 yr I thought the rain was past but it is just dumping now in NE Travis County Edited January 31, 20223 yr by Paper_jam

February 1, 20223 yr 1 hour ago, South Austin said: Hmmm... Wrong on the amount but right on the time of day (quote the sentence before the one you did). Probably poor use of preposition but you have to get to an evening in order to have the "rest of" it (I posted that just after noon). Should have said something like "out of here by later this evening." In fact Zach Shields my man at channel 7 was the only weather guy I heard call it correctly. So I sort of us6e his forecast but called for less rain. So I'll take half your money not the whole thing. Edited February 1, 20223 yr by phdhorn
February 16, 20223 yr Watch your anoose in the Red River Valley this afternoon. And watch your anoose in the Mississippi Valley tomorrow.
February 20, 20223 yr @phdhorn what are the odds that the rain forecasted for SE Tx on Thursday fizzles out? I got people lined up to get a roof installed and inspected that day.
