Cloudy with a chance of disappointment.

I heard high chances so I'm packing a poncho but would rather there aren't issue so Longhorn City Limits and the festival is blowing and going...

Because that's the only good times Texas Football can promise?

You make your own good times bro! Texas Football has largely sucked shit through a straw my son's entire life(he's 15). But we've had fun at games narrowly defeating a meh K State team in a monsoon, losing at home to Iowa Steak multiple times including my moms only trip to DKR, and watching Chuck lose to TCU after Thanksgiving with a big bunch of family in attendance. (Several members of that expedition downtown returned via Uber to our West Austin pad around 4 am, myself excluded. So good fucking times can be had.

Can I party with you? 

Oh it can rain during the game and whatever.  Like someone said, i was at the Missouri monsoon game which was hilarious. For pregame i dont want all the festivities get cancelled. 

Rain chances every day over the next seven days were essentially cut in half over night 

Force field for rain and football success back up and running.

I’ve been out a bit early this morning and it feels like it’s going to be cloudy with no rain for the game, but muggy as all fuck.

The night was sultry.

Damn nice rain in San Marcos. We got all the COED's to suck it south so UT can go kick some ass. Thank me later.

78628 wicked wind and low, fast moving clouds. Very ominous but only sitting rain so far…and all the clouds are moving in the same direction. Also, no thunder/lightning. 
 

eta electric show just started 

Edited by Pato del Muerto

nice lighting show about 20 mins ago.... steady rain in the 78757 

I looked at the LCRA Hydromet for the Austin area over the past 30 days.

Everywhere is in the 4-6" mark for rain and the station closest to my house... less than 2.5". Literally a mile away, they've had more than 5". I thought it was just my imagination that I was getting boned on the rain. Not at all.

My Ex in-laws ranch is about a mile northwest of Buchanan as the crow flies. All their stock tanks are full to the tops of the tank dams, and backfilling up the feeder creeks. Any rain in the Buchanan watershed should go straight into the lake. 

Our ranch in mexico hasnt had any traceable rain since Feb. Were about 5 miles west of the Laredo/Colombia bridge crossing. All tanks had gone bone dry. Cowboys had to keep all windmills running. This past Friday we got 3.5” and Sat-Sun another 1”. All tanks topped off full. Little late for antlers and will make hunting tough with the thick grass/brush but a godsend. Plus the fawns will finally get some cover to hide in.

Similar story for our place in Driftwood.  5-10 miles north is all 4"+ while the ranch is at around 1.5".  Tanks are all bone dry.

Evidently I need to start acquiring a stock tank? Seems like everyone has one.

So we have a hurricane or soon to be hurricane off the Atlantic and pacific coasts right now, but no rain in our forecast?  All that energy isn’t going to throw water to the middle of the country?

It will, we just won't get any

Maybe easier to acquire an ex whose family has a ranch with one or more.

Pouring rain for the past 30 minutes in NW Travis.  The ground is saturated enough it almost immediately became heavy runoff, which is good for all you jokers, since I live in the Lake Travis recharge zone.

Insulting Nori is gonna result in Mother Nature responding negatively.   I mean, Nori looks like Hippy-Dippy Daughter Nature on the show. 

Wife and I were waiting for the soft opening of C3’s light show event at the Wildflower Center to begin when the rain came in. We were told it’d be at least an hour delay, so we went home for the interim.

Poured the entire way south on the tollway. The recharge sone is getting a drink.
