October 27, 20232 yr LCRA is projecting it to come up to between 631.5 - 632.5 by Sunday. A 5' rise would be amazing, but I need another 2"-4" of widespread rain in the watershed. That would really push that up. Fingers crossed this shifts southwest some:

Lets fill it up this winter so we will have total chaos for spring boating.

October 27, 20232 yr Dammit, I was headed that way soon and was hoping the wind would blow up the tennis skirts of the MILF's at that HEB. Invariably they'd try to press the down with their hands while I yell, "Who are you to play God?!?!?"

October 27, 20232 yr Rain in cherrywood. Useless for the lakes. Useless for everything but my grass unless some asshole wants to say how the oysters appreciate it.
October 27, 20232 yr There is a nice big cell that looks like it's just going to park over Fredericksburg for a little while, which will be really nice for the Perd.
October 28, 20232 yr Was at an event in East Austin around 5 PM and a cell absolutely poured on us... and then it just wrapped up and the sun came out. Felt like a summer pop-up

Drove through it last night right before dusk on the way to the ranch. It was coming down in buckets. 6+" in the rain gauge when I got here last night. The ground is as saturated as I've seen it here in years. Any additional rain will do wonders for the Highland Lakes.
October 28, 20232 yr Holy shit, Travis cracked the 40% full mark. https://isthelakefullyet.com/#volume
October 28, 20232 yr Mowed the lawn this morning. Then just had a shower put another 1/2 inch down. Brings the total for the week to 5 1/2 inches. I’m gruntled.
October 29, 20232 yr Nice downpour in NW Austin LT up to 631.7 Edited October 29, 20232 yr by ChickenSandwich

I was up yesterday and it was so wet that water was shooting out of the ground when I walked around. We got almost 6.5" out there. The trees needed it so badly.

October 30, 20232 yr Light rain in the Austin area now at 3am. Went back on radar and a few decent rain cells went over some parts of the Highland Lakes area. Bring on the Rain !!! 🙏

So stop your fucking bitching and get out side and enjoy shorts and sweatshirt weather. fuck man, we travel in the summer and on vacation to places that feel like this does now. This is like a field of dreams, it's heaven. now go eat corn on the cob you miserable fucks. jk I've got reservations at the Davis Mountains the second weekend of December. Hoping the weather cooperates.
November 9, 20232 yr I was thinking the same thing and then it just opened up. Feels like a legit 1/2 inch maybe more in SW ATX. Personal Wunderground station one neighborhood over says .40. We'll see. I'll check my crappy rain gauge.
November 9, 20232 yr Starting to build up S and W of I35. I thought this was going to be a north pushed front and was getting disappointed. But watching the radar, I think we still have some good chances.
November 10, 20232 yr A perfect rainy night underway in SE Texas. We’ve already gotten about an inch and a half of rain. I’ve got the football game on the porch tv, a bourbon, and the trusty old one hitter. It’s a good night.
