I live in Tahitian but we have a place in Plum to the East. .25" at our house in Tahitian, 3.3" at our place in Plum.

Good chances today, and decent chances this week. Hopefully everyone's who's been missing out lately can get a share.

Finally we caught the bullseye! Some hail, but not terrible. Here is hoping everyone gets some needed rain.

** Edit: 7/10 of an inch. I will take it!

just talked to a buddy of mine. He is headed to Lake Texoma now. He has a dockominium at Eisenhower Yacht Club. The lake is going so high they have to shut off the power to the docks and marina - he has to get all his freezers unloaded while he still has access to the dock.

Red River is rolling

yall know about the rain drop app? i am just learning of it and it seems pretty bad ace. I am not sure its $200 for the full version good but what little i can play with the free version i love it. you can just move the map to an area and it will give you recent totals, monthly totals as well as historical totals. I was checking around choke canyon and their 30 year average for yearly totals is 26"/year......which they have not hit for the past 4 years. guess that explains why shes nothing more than mud puddle now.

Edit to add a screen shot I took

try this free link: Viewing Station: TX-LO-5 : Choke Canyon Dam North Side

Thanks

$200 for an app? LOL. What are they smoking?

app is free but the subscription was 200ish but i 100% agree

We got about .25". Not great, but not bad. I'll take it all!

ETA One last band headed our way, but it looks like it'll split us. The shield is back up and at full strength.

Back of the 71 truck. We might've got a drop or two.

Anyone need to take a free bath? No Miskitos…yet.

Round rock

Dumped 6/10" out of the gauge just now in NB between yesterday and today's rain.

And poof! Free bathes rescinded

Send some of that west. Lake Travis went up by about 0.1"

just be patient, a hurricane will die in the Hill Country soon and flood Lake Travis, just like in 2018

yes - it will happen again someday.

The LCRA basins are traditionally areas that don't get much rain - it is what it is - transitional zones moving from a desert to more fertile area.

I lived in the hill country for 15 years and learned that fall hurricanes from the Pacific bring good, sometimes flooding, rain to the area.

In 2018 Junction was pummeled by rain, and all that water came down the Colorado river, through Marble Falls and then intro Lake Travis, filling it from 80% to 134% full.

The rainfall for most of the western hill country and trans-pecos is highly dependent on the flow of moisture in from the pacific over the Sierra Madre. I did some research into rainfall in the San Antonio area around 2007. What I found back then was that over the ~30 year period that I looked at, the rainfall was somewhat correlated to the El Nino-Southern Oscillation Index and was very bimodal. The "average annual rainfall" number that people call "normal" was somewhat deceiving because it was much more likely to be 5+" above or below the average than it was to be within 5" of the average. So being within 5" of "normal" happened less than a 1/3 of the time for the period I looked at and storm years where tropical storm remnants came in and camped either from the gulf or pacific had a big influence on dragging the "normal" upward relative to most other years.

Have you eaten at the Redbud Cafe in Blanco? Along the wall up high on one side are yearly rainfall records for the area dating hundred years or so back. They've also got great food and good entertainment on a Friday Saturday evening.

Look aike lots of rain west and southwest of San Antonio this afternoon and evening

Man it looks like Deep South Texas got a lot of rain tonight and it's still coming down

1.2" in Calallen

Some crazy storms went through that area, tons of tornadoes

Extremely dumb to be standing that close to a window filming a storm like that.

You're not wrong but in this case, it seems it was also dumb to stand under the roof.

It was.

You're supposed to go to the lowest level of the building.
