My Weather App - Austin Rain Prediction

Tuesday : Oh my gawd, it's gonna flood. Save yourself

Wednesday : It's going to be a pretty big rain event

Thursday : Austin will get a good soak

Friday: 50/50 chance of rain this weekend. 

Saturday: might get some sprinkles at night

Sunday: Forcefield brah

 

Heh heh, yeah I kind of pulled out early. Wasn't seeing the water carnage earlier in the week.  Now they backed off to chances of rain Saturday and Sunday, however now they're calling fot heavier rain on Monday and maybe Tuesday.

Kind of reminds me of the guy from airplane: "He's he's up, he's down, he's at 9,000 he's at 12,000, what an asshole!"

Leaning more toward periods of light to moderate rain at least for the weekend. I'll take next week separately. However, with daytime heating & the tropical nature of the system, it could definitely morph into something heavier. Right now, I'm not seeing it. Maybe that'll change tomorrow.

I loaded some clothes and household items into the back of my truck and headed over to the Brodie Goodwill. So, y’all are welcome for this shower.

Better to be pissed off than pissed on...by a port-a-john.

Damn. How in the hell are we going to get our news from port-a-potty girl now? 

Nice soaking in 78749 right nao

Yep. Just got home to it

Had about 15 seconds of sprinkling on my car in 78717 and then....nada, nothing, but some rain blue balls.

so have our rain chances for today diminished since this morning or are we still not track for something later tonight?

Glad I pretty much cancelled the weekend for a few drops here in Houston. 

Lots of rain over the weekend here in 77057.

So, is it really going to pick up or what? Doing some outdoor work the next 3 days and it’s going to suck if it’s muddy

3"+ in Galveston up to Houston, further down the coast, Matagorda to Corpus looking at around 8". Then it'll go inland and you landlocked mothers will get what you get.

Cocktease weather.

More rain towards this afternoon/evening.
Most rain, whatever that is, tomorrow.
Up through Wed., likely rain here/there, nothing widespread.
Rain tapers off towards Thur/Fri, chances of afternoon storms.
All over by Saturday.

Scattered areas around CenTex could get 3"-4".  The rest of us, rainy but not saturated periods, mainly in afternoon.
Yawn.

Oh, Houston/SE Texas... just a heads up:

hqdefault.jpg

Well, at least you gonns' git lotsa rain 'atween now and Wed.  4"-5" in many spots, some unlucky fuckas maybe twice that.  Watcher cornhnoles.

This was pretty surreal yesterday. Watching the storm move across downtown from the FIL’s back porch (you can sort of see the downtown skyline through the haze). Took a minute to grab my phone, but when I first noticed this the line of rain was perfectly perpendicular to the ground. Looked like someone was clearing an etch-a-sketch.

After the bottom of the 1st Bob, it's  Forcefield - 1, Austin- 0

Not at Congress and 71.  Flat rock for about 10 minutes.

Heavy rain at zilker for almost a minute but not a drop at my house. 

Update:
Yeah, it's gonna rain more more than it looked like yesterday.  Complex pattern shaping up, definitely gonna rain hard SE Texas, depends on whether the trough moves up towards us.  
Tue-Thur, maybe into Friday or Sat even.  The thing has slowed down and is moving pretty snaily.   It's gonna rain a lot down SE of Austin to the coast.  How much of that gets up here still up for grabs.

But it's gonna rain around here, oh yes, it's gonna rain.
Back late tonight/early tomorrow w/more.

I’ll believe it when it rains on me. 

You know, this morning, looking at the radar, it looked like it was moving north, but the local Jack kept saying it would be south of Galveston. Now Beaumont is getting it and Galveston been steadyfor the past couple hours. No wonder they missed Harvey.

center of the low is SE of Corpus.  The outer bands have the most rain, those are going over Galveston NE to Beaumont.  This thing will fill in though closer to the center and SE Texas is going to get drenched.  Austin will definitely get wet, most of us, no doubt in my mind. I don't think this will be an Al Capone vault.

I dont know what I was looking at earlier, they was right, i was wrong

Had 4 inches in my rain gauge today when i dumped it at 5 pm (in Groves and can't remember if it had any in it before today) and at 7:30ish I dumped out another 1.5 inches.

Gonna be pissed if all I get from this is swamp ass.

I need it to rain it's ass off in RR tomorrow night. Supposed to go to an outdoor thing and don't want to.

I'm getting all kinds of grief on the home front for not signing my kid up for some soccer camp.  I'm definitely rooting for rain, as it was my fallback excuse for not signing him up (when in reality I just didn't want to spend almost $200 for 10 hours of group "coaching").

Houston weather media has been whipping people into a frenzy since last week. We haven’t had a measurable rain (maybe 1/10th?) since then. All these field reporters wearing head to toe rain gear and it’s not raining.

6"-7" in some parts of SE Texas between 183 and the Texas Coast in only 3 hours overnight.  Flooding in parts of the Beaumont area.
We're not gonna get nearly that much, but it's gonna pick up after lunch time.  Bulk of rain in periods from later this afternoon through tomorrow afternoon..

Rain totals have been variable. We've had nearly 5 inches since last Thursday in 77057 while areas west near Katy have had less than 1/2 inch.

I'm gonna tempt fate and leave my automatic sprinkler system on for tomorrow morning. Which means we'll get a complete downpour. You're welcome in advance.

 

 

This is getting ridiculous. Every time I drive anywhere it’s through a downpour, but my gauge at home continues to remain empty.

They are getting pounded. And not in the good way. Some of y'all may remember this from last year's Harvey thread but my grandpa's house was flooded then and he passed away before we could finish renovating after the flood. They updated EVERYTHING in that house, not just flood-damaged stuff. My parents just sold the house and it closes next week. Dad told me today the street is already underwater and they've gotten emergency alerts about the severe flash flooding - they didn't get those even during Harvey. I hope beyond hope these people don't get flooded again. This is my cousin's street in Bridge City.

Sorry to hear that.☹️

First wave moving in from the east. It's going to rain pretty good here in the next hour.

goddammit...there’s a part of me that is grateful i don’t live in the Rusty Triangle anymore, but there’s a huge part of me that feels guilty about abandoning my peeps.

fuck...

Part of me wishes CenTex could take some of the length for them.   We need that rain bad and we’re not getting shit 

Rain has slowed there from what I hear. Still supposed to get some tomorrow but hopefully it won't be as torrential. This is my grandpa's street in PA this afternoon - Angelle Dr., near the old TJ campus.
