July 22, 20223 yr Just drove back from Lumberton to Houston on Hwy 90 about an hour ago. Rained buckets from Sour Lake all the way until about 2 miles NE of 610 and of course it was bone dry in the city. Was quite pissed off, thinking I'd gotten skunked again, but just got a pretty decent little 10 minute downpour here in GOOF, at least enough to soak the lawn and flower beds and save me from needing to water this evening.

The gulf moisture random rain machine is crazy. We got about 0.15” here in a few minutes and gone (la Porte ish). The wedge surrounded by 45-225-bw8 got 2”!

Looks promising that there will at least be the chance of some sort of rain in the next couple of weeks, but it ain't going to be next week: Texas is the prolapsed asshole of precipitation.
July 23, 20223 yr Got chased out of Palo Duro yesterday by a big purple supercell on my way back to CenTex. Asked the sky gods if it could follow me home but they just laughed.
July 23, 20223 yr @NorthLoop I live west of Amarillo out in Bushland, that was a hell of a lightning storm we had Thursday night, did you get that too?
July 23, 20223 yr Got home from running errands about an hour ago and found about 0.03 inch of rain in my gauge. Not even enough to cool things off, and everything is already dry as a bone, but every 0.01 inch is something.
July 25, 20223 yr Got a reasonable dump of rain in 77070 this afternoon; been months since we've had anything. Temps down too!
July 25, 20223 yr It's never going to rain again in central Texas. And it's going to be 100 every day.

July 25, 20223 yr KXAN has a story on their website that shows how we went from essentially no drought in Texas by late fall 2021 to the current situation: 95% of TX moderate drought or worse 84% of TX severe drought or worse 57% of TX extreme drought or worse 20% exceptional drought That's an amazing swing in a short period of time.
July 25, 20223 yr Texas has 2 weather patterns. Flood and Drought Some of the earliest federal weather literature on Texas says “Texas is a state of regular drought punctuated by periodic catastrophic floods.” It was true in 1920, it’s truer today.

July 25, 20223 yr Seriously, look at this map and tell me it doesn't feel like some supervillian is using a drought machine to hold Texas hostage.And the edges of the state that are predicted to get rain are basically coterminous with ERCOT boundaries lmao

July 25, 20223 yr Seriously, look at this map and tell me it doesn't feel like some supervillian is using a drought machine to hold Texas hostage.I just want to be good at football again.
July 27, 20223 yr 2 straight days with some relatively substantial late-afternoon showers rolling through the middle of Houston for about 20-30 minutes. Is that legal?
July 27, 20223 yr 51 minutes ago, Hate said: I actually got enough raindrops to make my sidewalks wet for a minute or two. Sorry I really had to pee

July 28, 20223 yr Just returned from a week long trip. How much rain did we get? Are the lakes full again?
July 28, 20223 yr https://www.kxan.com/news/local/hays/jacobs-well-ceases-flowing-for-the-fourth-time-in-recorded-history/amp/ Jacobs Well The well, which is spring-fed, has officially ceased flowing, according to a post from Jacob’s Well Natural Area’s Facebook page. The U.S. Geologic Survey measured a zero cubic foot per second (cfs) discharge in recent days. Isolated showers for some, heat for all This is only the fourth time in recorded history that the well has ceased flowing.

July 28, 20223 yr A shower here in 77057. Had a little rain yesterday as well. We’ll take anything we can get.
July 28, 20223 yr Heaviest rainfall in weeks the past 15 minutes in 77018. Some minor street flooding and had water pouring over the sides of my gutters. Already moved on.

July 30, 20223 yr So 8-14 day has shown green for Austin the past couple of days. Now the 6-10 day is as well. Ain't much, but it's all we got. Been about 6 weeks since I've seen any rain at my house.
