October 26, 20232 yr The Llano basin might get 3-6" over the next 24 hours. Let's not count out a little bit of quantifiable inflows.
October 26, 20232 yr Still got a long way to go, but this could help a lot. https://isthelakefullyet.com/#volume

October 26, 20232 yr We have been getting a good amount in western round rock so I checked the lake Travis level. Hasn’t gone up at all. I know it’s not immediate and it doesn’t have the biggest drainage basin. It’s amazing how much water really dry ground can soak up as well. Hopefully this next round coming in will show up in the lake levels.
October 26, 20232 yr 2 hours ago, troph said: I’d expect this to do almost nothing for the lakes. But if we could get some more rain right on top of this in the next week or two then we’d be talking. 3-4 inches of rain on top of wet ground would be most excellent if not a little flash floody. Just let me have some hope!
October 26, 20232 yr Llano at Llano showing 12k cfs, so that's an acre foot every 4 seconds or so. Doesn't suck. Still training to the west. This might be a real event.

October 26, 20232 yr 2 minutes ago, troph said: I’m surprised. Yeah that shit just parked out there all night. For once the weather folks were wrong the right direction. Actually they showed where it could all go down and talked about those bullseyes. They actually got it if you look at the models and the flood threat beforehand. Signed, Avery's mom
October 26, 20232 yr No doubt. Can't remember if we get rain with the front on Sunday. Would be good on top
October 26, 20232 yr Some water should flow into Lake Buchanan with the rainfall north of the lake. Glad to see Llano River flowing better again. Think I heard Sandy Creek has a little bit of water moving too. Any chance some of the FBG rain makes much of a difference for the Pedernales River downstream?? Edited October 26, 20232 yr by LTtxfan messed up
October 26, 20232 yr I get when the ground is hard as concrete it’s going to take a while for water to soften it up and soak in. That can cause flash flooding if you get an immediate heavy downpour. But if you are talking consistent rain over a period of days, that dry ground will hold a lot of water.
October 26, 20232 yr Took the kids to school 20 minutes early, extremely glad I did because holy forking shirtballs.
October 26, 20232 yr Just got back from dropping kid off. Never ceases to amaze me at the number of people without umbrellas.
October 26, 20232 yr 34 minutes ago, LTtxfan said: Any chance some of the FBG rain makes much of a difference for the Pedernales River downstream?? Not really, the Ped/LT basin out toward FBurg only got like 1-3" scattered around and the streamflows show that it's mostly just soaking in. Max flo is 1,564 way out west, and a bunch of zeroes closer in. I know, DebbieDowner.gif
October 26, 20232 yr getting so much water in the 78757.... the trash cans are floating down the fucking street
October 26, 20232 yr Jesus. About an inch in 15-20 minutes. Our place has gotten so many rain bombs this year. It doesn't rain forever and when it does, it's torrential. Had 4-5 inches in an hour earlier this year.

October 26, 20232 yr we have 2 umbrellas for every person in this house. they get the most use as sun shades watching youth sports. seems like every time there's a big rain event i've left them in the garage.
October 26, 20232 yr I lost my last umbrella a year or two ago. It hasn't impacted my life one bit. Sure, I'll probably buy another one....maybe after I save up for a snowblower.

This... soccer tournaments in May and September under record-setting heat. But man its raining balls out in SW Austin right now.
October 26, 20232 yr Right about now a whole bunch of people are already forgetting about this past summer.

Not if lake levels don't move but y'all, thank God for all this. The parkland around here looked so dreadful for months and now it is nice and green... all this water flowing in is amazing. Maybe maybe maybe we'll see Slaughter actually flowing this winter.

October 26, 20232 yr I have 4 umbrellas but I have never bought an umbrella in my life. I have no idea how I came to possess them.

October 26, 20232 yr Bosque River flowing 23.4k cf/s right now at Valley Mills. That should put a little water back in to Lake Waco. I bet we got a solid 2-2.5 inches over the course of last night and this morning. I'll take it. Just in time to pick a huge batch of jalapeno and banana pepper right before the cool down next week.
