June 28, 20223 yr This is getting nuts. Lightning just struck very near me. Haven’t seen stuff like this in months.

June 28, 20223 yr Lightning hit a tree across the street. So fucking close it sucked all the atmosphere in for a nano second, bright as fuck,no sound at all, then Kaboom!

June 28, 20223 yr Went from nice rain to pouring/feeling like flash flood the last 15 minutes. Finally settling down.
June 28, 20223 yr 78717…..West side of Round Rock, just a brief shower to drop a trace to wet things down. But the air temps dropped to 71 on my patio.
June 28, 20223 yr This is a game changer headed into the jaws of hell. Breaking the high pressure bubble over this state could bring the jet stream down for more relief.
June 28, 20223 yr Wow. After teasing all afternoon with a light and sound show, then sprinkling on and off for a bit, we just got drenched in Barton Creek. Maybe the biggest downpour I’ve seen here in 18 months. Gutters were overflowing/failing, and there ain’t shit in em other than water
June 28, 20223 yr That was nice. 20 minutes of a monsoon like rain in 78728. I'm gonna wash my car again tomorrow.
June 28, 20223 yr I remember this feeling after 2011. Seeing that first Cumulonimbus tower after a drought is pretty amazing.
June 28, 20223 yr Live from San Antonio: Less than 5” recorded at SAT (airport) this year. 10”+ below average. Just comically bad luck. Happy for y’all in Austin (fuck y’all though).

June 28, 20223 yr Hammered like a Bobcat coed after a night of jello shots in San Marcos. Shit was monsoonal. Sat on the back patio with a few friends drinking beer and just loving it.

June 28, 20223 yr .55" at 360@Bull Creek. Lightening show went on for a couple of hours but the rain all fell within the first hour or so.
June 28, 20223 yr Ended up with a total of about 1.2” after we had another nice bout around 1:00 this morning.
June 28, 20223 yr Damn, that was nice last evening. Forgot how nice it was to be on the backporch with a cocktail in hand, watching a downpour.
June 28, 20223 yr Finally got some on the second round, 0.9" total in NW Travis Co. Pretty, pretty good.
June 28, 20223 yr More rain than expected... how often has that ever happened? These frontal boundary things like last night are always unpredictable, usually way less. But I think that lil' storm in the western Gulf was helping and interacting wiht the front, ramping it up a bit. Then what happened is that it's been so hot and dry that a sort of unusual thing occurred - the outflow boundaries (cool air pushed down and out towards the north) from the storms to the south of us actually caused lift when interacting with the hotter, drier air and allowed storms to form towards the north, where they weren't forecast as much. Perfect cocktail for enhanced rain. Took its time but actually the highest chance of rain in last night's forecast was between 8-10 p.m. so it was pretty spot on - the only thing off was the amount. More widespread and higher totals than forecast. Today should dry out a bit, most storms should be W/SW of us but could drift up. Then we have a break Wed before this Gulf thingy does what it's gonna do... no doubt it'll pack tons of rain. The only question is how far inland will it get. Absolutely some parts well into Central Texas and even west will get rain, but where the concentration occurs is up for grabs. These things can spread rain out but usually have a core - a concentrated swath of rain - and right now it's forecast to be east of ATX. But we'll see. Temps will be helped a good bit to moderate since the heat has been washed out of the ground. Should be a nice 2 days at least temp wise before the disturbance does what it does. Back if warranted (i.e. significant rain coming to ATX). Meanwhile, Houston and Corpus and points on the coast, flooding could happen late week. Watch it.
June 28, 20223 yr Houston missed out on that hot and heavy action y'all got in CenTex yesterday. Lots of clouds and thunder, but most areas just saw fleeting showers. At least the temps have come down a bit. Not terribly unpleasant walking dogs this morning. We're allegedly set to get some solid downpours later this week, but we'll see (image below is expected rainfall totals through midnight Friday).

Yeah the lightning around 930-10 pm in the Seabrook area was impressive. Started raining really heavy but then just died out after about 5-10 minutes of rain.
June 28, 20223 yr got about an inch at the house (giggity) and pretty damn glad for it. but now I'm gonna have to mow again. c'est la vie
June 28, 20223 yr 1.94 in Manchaca smack in the middle of the recharge zone but not much run off. Ground soaked it up but my yard is very happy.

I got over an inch and we are blocks away. It was about half an inch after the first round of rain around dinnertime, but this morning the gauge was over an inch.

I am pretty sure I got at least an inch but that is really the only gauge I have to go by. edit: Just checked a Wunderground weather station closer to the house and it showed .77" Edited June 28, 20223 yr by Orange&White
June 28, 20223 yr Things are changing pretty quickly with system in the GOM. Rainfall estimates are going up for SE Texas. I would not be surprised if these get changed again by tonight.

June 29, 20223 yr Lol...we used to skip out of school and go drink beer and smoke joints at Boerne Lake. CSB alert...I was a freshman and skipped school with some upper class friends of mine. We met up with some other people and one was this smoking hot junior wearing one of those bikini tops with a zipper. She and I are talking and then one of my friends says something about me only being freshman. I still hate that dude today.
