Front is moving in (again, sorta rare in Aug.) and it's definitely enough to wet stuff, might be getting a quarter inch afore it's all over. 30% chance today but man I wouldn't have expected it. Again tomorrow, before the front washes out. It could happen to you! You lucky son of a bitch.
August 15, 20196 yr We're getting more now... probably up to 1/2" on this puppy. Good, no watering shit tomorrow, which I have to do daily now.
August 15, 20196 yr Sitting here watching Sopranos when the dog jumps in my lap. She only does this when she hears thunder, so lo and behold rain is pouring here in the 52. Edited August 15, 20196 yr by MissingInAction
August 15, 20196 yr Get fucked. That thing was headed SE straight to Hewitt/Woodway earlier and then got stonewalled and went straight south. Watering my ass off now. Got up to 103 before “the storm hit”
August 15, 20196 yr Heh, now THIS is a forcefield, sorta kinda (although it looks like it's filling in). 8:35 p.m. radar...

August 15, 20196 yr Sitting here in '59 and watching the lightning to the south, and earlier seeing lots of lightning east and west, and all I can think of, is that there is only one bigger cocktease in this world than the storms tonight.
August 15, 20196 yr One more shot at it today, mostly after daytime heat builds up. Then August returns for the weekend. Man I got like 5-6 hours of light-steady rain, probably 3/4". So veddy awesome.
August 15, 20196 yr Took the dog out about a half hour acter the rain stopped and the groubd was nearly completely dry already. Sucked it up like a sponge/your mom.
August 15, 20196 yr Got a light dusting of drizzle but tons of wind as the storm juked around NB like it was a 2016 Texas linebacker.

August 15, 20196 yr Forgot to check the gauge this morning, but we got drenched in Shady Hollow. Closest Wunder Station shows a little over .5”Meant to water the yard last night, and totally forgot. Double win!
August 15, 20196 yr Really need to spread some ant poison. Guess I’ll give it a go this afternoon and hope I get hit with another wave tonight. Fingers crossed...knock on wood...no jinx!

August 15, 20196 yr As the storms formed yesterday, they made two beautiful red blobs of rain, with just a 2-3 mile gap between them. Brisket lives slap-dab in the middle of that gap. Furk.

August 15, 20196 yr We had quite the lightening show on 360 near 2222 for about 90 minutes. Lots of dark clouds, too. Not a single drop of water.

August 15, 20196 yr I didn't measure it but I think it rained pretty good for at least an hour in East Austin last night. Another wave today would be very welcome.

Brisket lives slap-dab in the middle of that gap. Furk. I hear ya. Had a really nice cell moving Southeast from between Clifton and Lake Whitney. Coming directly at Waco/Hewitt/Lorena, and actually extended almost north to West. Then Lake Waco farted in it's general direction, sending it straight south. I got enough droplets that I had to go to the gas station and wash my windshield.

August 15, 20196 yr Last evening was sitting at a great little icehouse in San Marcos when the storm came through. Cold beer, cool breeze, heavy rain and lightening and of course Coeds in tank tops dancing in the rain. It was amazing.

August 19, 20196 yr I checked my 10 day forecast for NW Austin last night and it had 100+ on every day but the tenth day out. This morning I check the same forecast and it only shows 100 for today and tapering down to 94 10 days out. Is something happening that I did not read about on this thread?

August 19, 20196 yr My 25 day fairytale forecast says chance of rain after this week pretty much everyday

August 23, 20196 yr Had a nice little shower east of Pflugerville yesterday. 0.4 inches, the first rain measured by my weather station in over a month.

August 23, 20196 yr Had two brief showers in 78717 just before sundown - enough to drip off the patio. Nothing in the rain gauge this morning.
August 23, 20196 yr Four days in a row I’ve had storms near enough to my house that I could smell the rain but we haven’t gotten a drop. Today may be the worst though.
