You can use [img]IMG URL[/img]

or

If the image is on your computer, simply use the Imageshack feature located bottom-center of the text field when you're writing a post. I've never used that feature before so I just took a screenshot circling the feature and gonna upload it using this feature so I can explain:
1. Click browse
2. Select the photo you would like to upload
3. Click upload (this will take you to imageshack)
4. Select the Forum Code line
5. Copy all the text
6. Past the text in your post (I will do so below)

This will be the end result:

Yep. Gotten almost an inch since this morning. Places in the hill country have gotten up to 5 inches! Dry ground is soaking it up like a sponge.

The hole is so obvious and distinctive it almost looks like weather modification

:uarrow:
Well, thankfully I'm not included in that weather modification donut hole this week! Sorry about that. I'm working on modifying the weather in this area. Must have hit a snag with it and affected the Dallas area. OOPS.:wink:

According to image, it looks like it goes to September 9th. Did I read that right? We had our rain yesterday (the 13th) and today.

I have received 1.3 inches since yesterday morning. Steady light rain most the of the night. Still raining.
:D

I'm glad you guys are getting rain, finally. We had our fun in August, but now have to pay the rain-piper and do without for Sept. You are right, the image above goes to Sept 9th. The donut hole has now zeroed in on the DFW area as the following pic shows:

Good to see those deep greens in the hill country west of SAT and AUS. Also our farm down in Gonzales county has a nice blob of middle green (2-4") rain totals. We might still get a little up here in DFW as the discussion mentions instability in the 900 MB range. Tons of post-frontal stratus getting wasted as it moves south without precip this morning so far.

Those areas that were hit nicely west of SAT and AUS are exactly where it is needed! Beautifulness!!! :D

The latest LCRA River Report shows that Lake Buchanan will rise slightly, and Lake Travis is expected to rise a foot. Most of several inches of rain out there soaked into the soil of course, but it rained just enough to cause a little runoff! The pump is slowly being primed once again. We just need the motor to keep running! :wink:

I'm glad you south/central Texas folks got rain!

Looks like DFW could get left out this time. The GFS/and Euro's yesterday depiction of today's rain did not pan out and last chance will be Sunday with the upper low itself moves overhead.

DFW has been in the upper 60s all day and the high was near midnight at 72. Austin has been stuck in the low 70s and San Antonio mid 70s. Normals for all three is upper 80s to near 90, some 15-20 degrees below average.

After last Friday's high of 103 in Austin, I'd say it could be the Law of Averages. :wink:

Love it! :D

We have had a slow rain here for about 3 hrs, rain guage says 1.5 inches so far. That is a total of almost 3.5 inches since Friday and radar shows more to come.

DFW, Austin, San Antonio all had highs between 70-73 degrees which once again is 17-18 degrees below average with clouds and rain.

A little warm up tomorrow into the mid 80s before another cold front drives through Tuesday. Highs won't be quite as low and rain less likely but the lows will return back into the 50s for many in Texas with high 40s possible in the rural areas in the northern half of the state.

Is there going to be a Texas Autumn 2012 thread or does this thread just sort of die off into the Texas Winter thread? Because I can see the finish line. :D

NWS in Brownsville is remembering 1967 Hurricane Beulah...Link below is the 9/18 11am Advisory...This is awesome of have never seen the forecast track for Beulah! For those of you that don't know Beulah was the worst hurricane to hit the Rio Grande Valley as it cause extensive flooding. Later this evening when I get home I will post a Total Rainfall Map for Southern Texas (If I'm not mistaken my small town of RGC received 20+ inches of rain from Beulah)
