August 28, 20232 yr Lol. Remember that El Nino thing that will bring all the rain? Well, about that... https://www.kxan.com/weather/weather-blog/could-pdo-mess-with-our-wet-el-nino/ El Niño has the greatest impact on our weather during the winter (December-February) in Central Texas. That’s when we’re most likely to see wetter than normal conditions. In some years a strong El Niño has made for a very wet fall, but in those years (like in 2015) PDO was positive. This fall, El Niño and PDO may just work to balance each other out. Of course.
September 9, 20232 yr This morning the Houston Heights received its first real rain since June? July? I don’t know. But it was glorious. I can’t wait to complain about mosquitoes.
September 9, 20232 yr We got 1/2”, and I’m now sitting at 2” total for the week. 225 and 146 station reporting an 1”.
September 9, 20232 yr In Dallas for the weekend. Nice storm came through early morning. Need this in ATX soon.
September 9, 20232 yr Zero measurable rainfall at my house in Austin since June 21. Normally I'm happy for others, but fuck all y'all.
September 10, 20232 yr What a time to be alive! No rain in sight for us for a few more days. But at least this morning as I'm watching highlights of the game with the kids, isn't sweat soaking miserable. But man, the rain chances, while something has to happen physically, aren't looking as great later this week as we'd hoped. And Thursday looks like it's gonna touch 100 degrees just for shits 'n giggles. I gotta go out and handwater tonight, we're in the last water tier of billing for another 5 days and I thought we could coast through but too many dying spots. And I got a Monterrey Oak that needs some extra care. If anybody already has it easily on call, pos rep for posting a comparision. But while 2011 was hotter than this overall, I think we at least had more rain thanks to a coulpe of little drenches we had in August.
September 11, 20232 yr KXAN future radar has a giant blob of rain sinking south towards Austin . . . and disintegrating. Of course.
September 11, 20232 yr I'm afraid its another "complicated setup." The official 7-day precip forecast shows us on the edge (as usual). Officially, this shows 1-2" for NW Austin, less as you go south. KXAN shows rain, but not major chances each day: Wunderground showing less than 1/2": I take this to mean we get 0.25" and call it a week.

September 12, 20232 yr Still holding steading with 1-2" in my neck of the woods in Austin. But if it's just a few miles off, it could be half that. This 7-day precip forecast however looks great for the lakes. Some nice numbers out in the basins this morning:
September 13, 20232 yr Sprinkling in 78722. Could just be piss. Edited September 13, 20232 yr by HenryJames
September 13, 20232 yr Wunderground radar showed rain covered all of austin around 6:30am. Dry as a bone in Hyde park. Wtf.
September 13, 20232 yr Yep, was raining steadily in Southpark Meadows when I left for the office. Got to Mopac/360 and streets dry.
September 13, 20232 yr I am getting a very light but continuous rain in 78757 for about 20 mins. would probably only be considered a trace, but hey, we need anything we can get.
September 13, 20232 yr Found wet streets and puddles. Forecast is going UP for rain. Fingers and manbuns crossed, Austin.
September 13, 20232 yr I don't know how many inches - I just said it was big and my wife disagreed. Still it made getting to work hard this morning. The car was all over the road and it was wet everywhere.

There was a surprising lack of terrible traffic this morning but I also left early, not because of the rain since I had no idea, but thankful for small favors.

Well, you could tell it has been awhile. It just smelled different when the door opened. It was like spring.
September 13, 20232 yr Took the dog on our first multi mile walk/jog in 4 months. We were rained upon and it was glorious.

September 13, 20232 yr I see small wet spots -- hey to high school -- but LCRA Hydromet says nada. I hate Austin.
September 13, 20232 yr Woke up to "pretty good" rain chances around 50% in Houston today, but those have already petered out to around 30% or so. Tomorrow and Friday are our best shots at getting some legit storms, but even those are less ironclad than they were as of last night. 90%->65%. Latest NOAA expected precipitation for my neck of the woods is around 2.5 inches between today and Saturday night. I'm taking the under.
September 13, 20232 yr Rain chances in Austin going up for tomorrow. Oh I know is that the rain has worked absolutely magic in Austin and it feels fantastic right now. Edit: taking a lunch time walk and my phone is not telling me that it needs to cool down. Finally Edited September 13, 20232 yr by texasdago
September 14, 20232 yr *narrator* The rain would not come their way. Edited September 14, 20232 yr by MissingInAction
September 14, 20232 yr Working on the third slow mounting drizzle rain session of the day. Got damn this is beautiful.
