Ditto, I am so over the boil water thing. And now they are saying use hand sanitizer after you wash your hands if you use tap water. I feel like I’m in a whole other country. You know like when you are on vacation and you can’t drink the water?


This is a joke now. I live in CP, water fine there, but work in Austin. They have delivered four cases of bottled water a day here since Monday. I have been bringing a thermos of Brita filtered water from home and just let others get the bottled water if they need it. Over this totally.

From the forecast looks like a few day warm up starting today, with Saturday in the low 80s.

I need a few days of sun amd lower 80's, this last round of rain has refilled my swamp and I need to mow, but don't want to use the outboard to do it...lol

At least I'll be able to hit the front Sunday morning before Football :wink:

Next several days look to be very dry other than that small Halloween chance. I guess it’s good for all the soils and lakes to recover before our next wet stretch :wink:

I'm with you on that. My front area that I mow is like a 3 acre lake right now. Ive been needing to mow for 3 weeks now with no luck. Hopefully this few day stretch of warmer temps will help dry it some.

I don't know if anyone saw the sunrise this morning, at least down here in the Austin area. It was beautiful! My coworkers were just talking about it.

I was in traffic at a stoplight and wasn't able to get the pic before the stoplight went green, so I missed the shot. But anyway, I'm sure someone got it.:) It was nice!

It looked like fire on the clouds, which looked like elongated cotton quilts, brighter in one area. Anyway.

Supposed to be a beautiful weekend and early next week to dry out some, then a front on Halloween which may bring showers/thunderstorms. Good timing for the trick or treaters! ;)

FV3 and Euro paint a below normal Halloween day. 60s for most falling into the 50s by sundown. So a cool one with chances for rain as the front comes through the night before or during depending on your location. Milder days beforehand from now until then with cool mornings. Pretty much chamber of commerce weather the next several days. Perfect for a cookout as we dry out!

GFS is slower and stormier than the Euro right now but some earlier runs of the Euro also showed the slower stormier solution. Svr wx for Halloween could be on the table if the slower solutions verify.

Give or take around 11/2 still looks interesting with a big post Halloween front and possible trailing energy. Right now just looking at this as a possibility models cannot resolve the various small kinks in the NW flow a week out.

Judging by what the models are showing right now, I don’t think it’s going to be cold enough for any wintry action. I would say 5-10 degrees too warm for NTX.

The upper levels (700mb) are cold with the deep upper trough, mid levels (850mb) are borderline and will depend on the strength of the potential energy somewhat and the surface depends on the strength of the surface high. With no energy we are looking at partly sunny and highs around 50, with a weak system we are looking at 40s and cloudy and a stronger system would mean 30s to low 40s with precip of some kind. The chance for wintery precip is around 15% right now for N TX, 25% for western N TX and 5% for NE TX. We are very early for anything frozen.

Found a cool video of Medina Lake. This was a year or so ago when it got to 100%. It's around 85% now.

Medina Lake overflows due to large amounts of rain and Drone gets footage

The op run of the Euro is pretty chilly, but also very dry.
