At least the hill country is getting some rain.
Weird this semi low semi boundary has been around for a few days and we aren’t getting more widespread rain

This stuff in NE Texas is moving to the SW. That seems like really weird movement. 

I'll step aside for the weather lords to explain. 

Not a weather lord, just an interested bystander.  The flow around the high pressure dome to the west moves clockwise, drawing from the northeast to the southwest in this quadrant. 

Don't piss it off; I stand to get some of it, Lord willing and I hold my mouth right.

Patience man. Cavalry is riding up from the south to meet up with the northern storms around 4:00 this afternoon.

I thought you worked on Austin water stuff?

No, I just comment on Austin water stuff.  I work on wastewater stuff somewhere within 50 miles of the location I gave.  As small as the water/wastewater community is, if I posted where I work I would be doxing myself.  Posting where I live was unwise enough.

Ha, yep, I know the area well, so better shut your trap before I come a knockin' asking about wastewater.

I was driving on the highway 281 when the sky turned black and it poured down pretty hard for 20 minutes then turned into a light drizzle.

Temp dropped to 69 very briefly.

45 seconds of light rain in The Woodlands! Are we done until September now?

Yeah, I ended up getting almost a tenth of an inch. Woohoo!!

Lucky!  I didn't even get the scent of rain.  Well, that was because of the Covid.  My wife smelled rain, but we got none.  Folks a quarter mile away did, but not us.

It's finally happening in Hewitt.  All praise Tlaloc

Well, that kinda sucked as far as rain production.   At least it stayed below 85 for the rest of the day.

First big front missed wide left in 78738, then a little spot jumped up for a direct 5 minute downpour hit.  Beautiful.

Got some of that.

My bad.  I heard thunder and went to sit on my front porch -- you know, because my wife just dropped $ on random outdoor upholstery -- and we got maybe a drop.  Could have been a passing 737 dropping its commode for all I know.  360/2222

Got nothing in NB again. Sat in the Chick Fil A drive thru watching a beautiful light show to the north. That was you assholes getting rained on. 

Earlier in the day I watched a black cloud with visible rain bands slide east and south if us.

Thanks a lot, jerk.

At least you didn't get completely skunked. 

The bottom of the sky fell out right over my office off Washington starting at about 4:50. By 5:00 there were rivers running down the righthand lanes and you could barely see in front of you. By 5:15 or so, it was done and gone. One of the quickest, strongest storms I've seen in a long while. Dropped damn near an inch in 20 minutes.

Walked out of Thor at the Lakeline Alamo last night and if felt like Fall. My son and I watched some cool lightening from my front yard for a few minutes, but we got nothing and liked it.

Got a surprising couple o' tenths last night in the rainforest here.  Pretty boy on KXAN said at 6 it's all over but for once it wasn't.  It was hot enough that outflows came in from the NE and stirred up enough juice to rain.

That's 2 measurable rain events in the past 5 days.  Better build that ark!

Okay, today there is still a small chance that the storms will come in from the SE this time, but less coverage.  Nevertheless enough punch (and the center of the high is farther west than forecast) that some "on the edge of the high" showers could hit us.  Enough to mention at least.

While these showers "unusually" came in from the NE, it's not really that weird in the summer.  The lows which form in the Gulf and try to break through the usual high dome squatting on us will spin c-clockwise and drop rain from the NE.  Which is what happened.

Actually I was surprised that the rain made it to the Hill Country without drying up - the high can evaporate that stuff with little problem usually.  But as I said the center wobbled a little farther W than predicted, so it didn't dry up the rain.  For once the rain won.

That said, put on your body-length ice pads, because the high is gonna wobble back - later weekend is gonna heat up and 106° or thereabouts is proally gonna happen Sunday and/or after.

For today, at least there's a fighting chance Mabry don't make it to triple.  Would like to see the streak broken (although most of us wouldn't know a tinker's difference between 99° and 100° - it's all mental).  Remember the average high right now is about year's max - 97° - so it ain't really that much lower.  I think it really starts being felt after about 103°.

12:28 AM - Today#73

We got rain yesterday in this part of Texas. (Fredericksburg)
We have been in a drought-always but this summer bad/worse. It came out of nowhere. I got an alert on my phone looked out the window and had that oh shit moment. High wind & hail advisory. My husband and I scurried to get his big ass truck in the garage. We have a 4 car garage and there is no room to park vehicles. -his stuff not mine. The wind was unbelievable. We had limbs down- none big. Going to work I passed by a little shopping center with a huge live oak that was completely down. Fire & EMS on scene. Then when I get to work I see one of our intersections close by is closed by Fire & EMS. Our Physical rehab building across the street had completely lost the roof. Nursing home next door had some roof damage and a downed pole but everyone ok. 

When I left for work I saw a pile of my potted plants & my door wreath laying in a twisted puddle in the front flower bed. I won’t complain about the rain. Most of us around here think we are cursed-an old Comanche curse. The storms usually split up and go around us and everyone gets rain but us. So rain is welcomed. Hail & wind no.
