Re: Texas Spring 2018
The WPC is still suggesting excessive rainfall. It would only be today. It looks like it is being pushed south.
Today is the first measurable rain I have gotten in a while, maybe a couple weeks, give or take.

Re: Texas Spring 2018
Enjoy the rain because it looks like we could be in for a 7 to 10 day stretch of no rain. There are several northern stream systems racing across, so maybe one of those digs more than expected and sends a complex of storms into Texas?

I’m still wondering why the May forecast from the CPC was so bullish on rainfall for Texas when it looks like a big dry spell is coming up.

Re: Texas Spring 2018
Apparently Camp Mabry broke a record for daily rainfall today, going back to 1895, essentially since records started being kept. We were about 3 inches behind for the year, and made all of it up today. After this weekend, no telling when it will rain again.

I wouldn't lock in the those dry outlooks just yet. The Euro 24 hr change was in the right direction:

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX
315 PM CDT Fri May 4 2018
.SHORT TERM (Tonight through Saturday Night)...
Upper level trough axis extends across west Texas. This and its
associated cold front is causing widspread rainshowers and isolated
thunder throughout south central Texas. Locally heavy rainfall
continues to affect the area mostly east of the I-35 corridor. Today
Austin recieved a record rainfall ammount of 3.64 inches so far,
beating the old record set in 1895. As the front progresses eastward,
residual moisture and instability lingers behind the front as
isolated areas of light to moderate showers persist through tonight
and into early Saturday morning with gradual clearing by Saturday
afternoon. Cooler temperatures are expected behind this front with
low temps tonight in the mid 50`s in the Hill Country and low 60`s
elsewhere.
&&
.LONG TERM (Sunday through Friday)...
Higher pressure builds in from the west with a northwest flow aloft.
This should keep the area mostly clear and dry. Temperatures will
increase early in the week into the upper 80`s and lower 90`s. No
major changes to the pattern through Friday.

Re: Texas Spring 2018
3 and a half inches fell here at the Rain Cave. I would still say we are behind for the year since May is our wettest month on average and 3.5 is still below May's average, we would need to triple that to make up for the losses of the year. Now it wouldn't hurt to have a week of dry weather after this event, though I'd personally would like to see a slow light rain continue each day for perfect weather. Could get a lot of yard work done...
