Can't see outside of my front window to my yard right now.
I wish I had time for a nap

It started pouring while I was in a meeting without windows. And it left as quickly as it started.
Good 30 minutes of rain. Probably not done today.
We got like 0.10" at my place.
Not much, but, it counts.

.4" just a few blocks south of campus.
The weather app I use has a lot more coming...but I've seen where we just get missed, too, in the past.
Yeah, the app is doubling down on the percentage (100) and amount (almost 4 inches) yet to come. But the skies are clear from the direction this thing is supposedly coming from.

This system to the west headed this way ain't playin.
Its dumping around 4.5 inches as is and is only getting stronger by 4am when it hits. This could be 5+ inches.

The underestimation of the underestimation of the Aggie dome is strong with this one.
Get up around 5am and get in your boat in your drive way. It's coming.
Heavy rain in northern Brazos valley. Been coming down hard for an hour now
We will end up with a nice rain event despite this latest wave losing a lot of juice as it nears us.
.66" on the Dubi weather station since midnight. In this case I'm very glad we didn't get 9" of rain like others in Milam county.
The Dome didn't hold this week but this current radar is classic Dome...lol.
We only got a quarter inch out near Pebble Creek.
Watersmart still says I need to water my yard.

That's hilarious.

I think Watersmart is not always "smart". When it rains I turn off my sprinkler until the grass looks a bit dry, then I turn it back on.
It may not be off a full week, but I usually can skip at least 1 watering in a week. Skip 2 if it is a turd floater.
No app or website is going to be as smart as a person monitoring their own yard daily and turning sprinklers off after rain, but data helps. The rain gauge at the fire station on Fitch only recorded 0.10 inches yesterday and 0.26 inches on 6/9. 
I get a daily email with rainfall totals at all the BVWaterSmart gauges in College Station. Monday's rain was between 0.3 and 0.5 inches around town (with the south CS exception). Yesterday, more variable but overall less. I thought the forecast this week was calling for an 80% chance of rain Thursday. Not so much.

Can we see your bvwatersmart gauges?waterchick said:

At .82" of rain for today.
What I get in an email is the same as what shows up here when you click on the sprinkler icons: bvwatersmart.tamu.edu. Gauges are located at fire stations, wastewater lift stations, Carter Creek wastewater treatment plant, and Veterans Park and Hensel Park. I don't remember exactly where the Bryan gauges are. They needed to be as geographically dispersed as possible, maybe more where there are denser neighborhoods, but also behind a fence as a defense against bored teens and college students.dubi said:Can we see your bvwatersmart gauges?waterchick said:

I am working on getting more gauges. More data = better watering recommendations. Do you customize my email based on the rain gauge that is closest to my house?Quote:

Yes. But your house isn't really close to any of the gauges, unfortunately. More gauges = more granular data.
I do have my private weather station mounted on the roof; so I'm good in that regard.waterchick said:

PS: You can mount one of yours at my house if you want.
I look at mine, but also the others around me on weather underground.
We have been on the edge of the rain that's blasting Navasota. I doubt it drifts up here.
I think part of it is about to hit south of town. Probably just a short time though.
Navasota is getting drenched.

Raining near Tower Point!
We had hail further south.
That storm put in reverse.
That radar loop is an odd one right now.
It's like some…thing hanging above the area pushed it away!
So...um...I'm in Houston for the day. What the heck is happening up there? Lol.
