2018 Rain Thread


Hollywood

Recommended Posts

This storm tracked a long front, about 2,000 miles, from Iowa down past the Rio Grande.  Often the southern edge of these things are so long they have trouble moving out.  Some of this front more or less stalled SW→NE across Southeast Texas.  That front provided a conveyor belt for storms to track right up it, and they were just south of the bulk of us (a few edges made it across S/SE Travis and even into far S. Austin).  This is why you kept hearing thunder as these things tracked to our south.  

Kinda cool - I heard them too for at least 2-3 hours in Bee Cave.

New drought map out later today.  I'll post it when it gets released.
Basically, there is no drought at all now E of about U.S. 83 (cuts through Texas N/S about 100 miles W. of Austin.  This was about the most widespread drought-busting storm we've had since 2007.   Unfortunately, the panhandle didn't get shit.  They're really in trouble up there.

 

Edit: Well the new drought map is out, but it reflects conditions as of 2 days ago (maps released every Thursday reflecting conditions up through that previous Tuesday); this was just before the rains hit, so it doesn't reflect the aftermath.  Have to wait until next week!

Watch your cornholes in the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys tomorrow.  There is a good part of East Texas included in that as well.  It's probably always a good idea to watch your cornhole anytime you are in the aforementioned areas.
