August 29, 20223 yr It could be a rainy Monday practically anywhere in Texas. This is the HRRR weather model which is usually pretty good in the short term.

August 29, 20223 yr Man, actual negs, on the rain thread? Tough crowd. But yeah, no. No cries of mercy. Seems we only ever get rain in floods, so let it flood, let it flood, let if flood.

August 29, 20223 yr Build an ark. Or move to Arizona. 10 inches is nothing. South Austin's mom will tell ya t River here is about 1 foot under its usual levels. It is spring fed, so that means the aquifers are suffering.

Automatically assumed it would fade with the sunset. Not so I guess. Tournament? Our match was stopped mid-match thanks to lightning and then Sunday games were cancelled due to soggy fields.

Flow that was 271 (mean) last year on this date is now 124. And that’s up from earlier this month where it hovered around a 100. We need a lot of fuckin rain to drop here and in recharge areas of aquifer.
August 30, 20223 yr Things are going to stay wet for at least the next 5-7 days. And some of the rivers are beginning to rise ever so slightly. It's a good sign that the ground is finally saturated enough for run off. I'd love for this map to verify.

August 30, 20223 yr I don't think I've ever seen such a consistent 15-day forecast. https://weather.com/weather/tenday/l/15e42cf0d1698d199d5a55b9570d570c3936042c702535298c1c8545e2a9f477 Within 2 or 3 degrees of 88/75, 85% humidity and 58% chance of scattered showers every day from here to eternity.

The humidity will suck, but I'll take the high 80s and a chance of rain for an 11am kick off on September 10.

August 30, 20223 yr Weird. According to the radar, I'm not getting anything...nothing even that close by. But if I look out my window, all I see is a wall of water.
August 30, 20223 yr Some very scattered, intense showers. Had rain pouring down and drove 1/2 mile and it was barely wet.
August 30, 20223 yr Apparently there has been a fair amount of rainful in the recharge zone for much of the Highland Lakes. Let's hope for a lot more.

August 30, 20223 yr It’s saturated the ground in the area so an future rains this week should run off into the rivers. It’s effectively primed the pumps…we’ll see.

August 31, 20223 yr Here is what the soil moisture for Central Texas looked like before today. I think this only updates once a day so it will be interesting to see what it is tomorrow or when it updates next. Edited August 31, 20223 yr by Hate

August 31, 20223 yr Some weather models are seeing an intriguing trend for Texas next week. There is potential for a dying hurricane in the Eastern Pacific to be caught up in in front and all of the moisture from it being dragged across Texas. This setup has the potential to be a big rainmaker for us. A similar setup led to the floods in October of 1998, although that was actually moisture from two dying hurricanes.
August 31, 20223 yr I don't know how many times I've said that the <checks notes> ECMWF is my favorite model!

August 31, 20223 yr These could be the storm(s) that the Euro is seeing being brought over Mexico and into Texas. It's just something to watch at the moment as it's likely 7-8 days away and a lot can change.

August 31, 20223 yr The scattered showers bit is really getting old. Fox 7 showed the rainfall amounts for the month and year to date for Mabry and ABIA. 0.70" behind Mabry and 2.8" behind ABIA for this month and right at 5 inches for the year (making it 11" below normal) and I'm less than 20 miles from both. The cracks in the ground are just as bad now as they were in July.

August 31, 20223 yr I am thinking/hoping the ground is soaking up the humidity even when it isn’t raining.
