May 14, 20232 yr We’re not going to get anything in Austin tonight, are we? Nothing on the radar. Never really warmed up at all today. No wind… Still have a chance tomorrow night or is this a big miss by the weather gurus?

I guess I'll take the 2" and like it. #claytonwilliams
May 14, 20232 yr Maybe a little more, but they really missed this time with the storms over the Hill Country. It was a complex se up, so I'm not faulting the forecasters. They are still pretty damn good, but sometimes mother nature throws them curveball. At any rate, it's been a pretty damn nice spring. Edited May 14, 20232 yr by Hate
May 14, 20232 yr Got too much south and east and not enough north and west, to make a dent in the lakes. Ahh well, maybe 2024.
May 14, 20232 yr The Comal was barely over the bank at its narrowest point yesterday morning. It’s now up 50 cfs to 200. Still below normal of 300 cfs. Every little bit helps.
May 14, 20232 yr At least according to Wunderground, the rain chances for today and the next few days evaporated overnight.

May 14, 20232 yr Goddamnit…this storm was supposed to be in the Hill Country. It just won’t stop raining here.

May 14, 20232 yr After last summer, I never thought I'd say this, but that's more than enough rain. We're good for a while here in Houston.
May 14, 20232 yr Over an inch & a half in the past half hour here and it’s still coming down. Back yard is a river.

Also, this event seems big enough that @phdhorn should be here. Shot high. Sitting at 2.12" right now but apparently there is a little more to come before noon today.
May 15, 20232 yr The lake basins are primed. We just need a good old fashioned Memorial Day soaking to help the lakes for the summer.

May 15, 20232 yr We maybe should be careful what we wish for.It’s why I carefully asked for a “soaking” as opposed to a “flood”.

May 16, 20232 yr Awfully windy and dark here. I am sure @phdhorn is getting a shitload of rain right now.

May 16, 20232 yr 1 hour ago, Deej said: Does it help as much if it drops straight on the lake? Yeah sure it helps. But the lake itself is just a small part of the catchment. We need rain across the entire drainage basin, and a LOT of it. So far Travis is up 0.7 feet. It's a start, anyway.
May 16, 20232 yr 78750 - Got another 1.98" last night. Brings it to 4.40" in the last week. Niiiiccceeee.

May 16, 20232 yr In the end, it looks like the 3" - 5" forecast came to fruition... and maybe we get a bit more today? It was good to see all that rain over Llano and near Travis last night.

It was good to see all that rain over Llano and near Travis last night. My backyard was over 6" (360/Bull Creek) since Friday - 2.75" Friday, .25" Sunday, 3.25" Monday evening, too bad it was downstream of the Lake Travis Watershed.
May 16, 20232 yr Damn. Have had 15" in about five weeks. Just happen to be in the bullseye. Just a few miles away the total is half that. I'm the most rain-loving person you'll ever meet, and this is too fucking much. That's about 45% of our yearly total in five weeks. The backyard is like a wet sponge. I only wish it was on the other side of the lakes. Edited May 16, 20232 yr by FirstTimeCaller
May 16, 20232 yr You'll never guess which area of town I live. (Past 30 days, doesn't count the 5" rain that started all this.
