Oh, isn't there some kind of sports event in College Station on Saturday evening?

Just some orange Tigers coming in... nothing big!

DFW had a high of 80F today. Coolest since May 20th.

Such a lovely holiday

Light rain lasting a little longer here in Leander at my daughter's dance class. A couple loud claps of thunder. Looks like house has gotten some about 15 minutes away to the south. I'll check gauge later.

Got .73 in north FW. Nice start to September.

Over 4 inches of rain at my parent's house on the north side of SA and still pouring. Classic flood event looks to be setting up for the Hill Country tonight.

It's amazing ! My heavy rain was around noon today but i have been getting a steady moderate rain for over 2 hours in SW Austin !

Watching it now. Outflow boundary came out of the storm, still building.

Much needed heavy rain event for southwest Texas tonight. Some areas are in severe drought down there. So nice to see all of the rain developing on radar!

My brother in San Antonio sent a few texts. He's near airport, on a hill, so no flooding there. But he's getting deluged. It's training over them! Here are some of his texts:

"This is getting ridiculous. It's either drought or flood...no in between. We've gotten 2 inches and still pouring!"

"Pouring still.... high water rescues going on. TWC had mentioned Stone Oak flooding.. 6 inches and still raining"

"Our house needed this rain sooooo badly but.. jeez.."

"Was going to let u know what rain gauge says but too much lightning"

6-8" across SATX


drought ------> major flood


also the weeklies are not bad. could be more in a regular rain pattern

It looks like the best chance for rain will be west of 35. Not too often you can say that.

oooh tom afternoon!

I’m a fan of the 0z GFS

the 0z Euro doesn't appear to have anything tropical but the entire run is wet... it never ends

I have gotten around 0.15 since yesterday, while my family 80 to 100 miles to my south-southwest have received 6 inches or so.
Craziness! The nature of tropical rainstorms.

Yep. San Antonio seems to often be a sweet spot for these kind of rain bombs.

Nature of lift being weak but high moisture content. In the cooler season its the opposite, very strong lift but generally less moist air mass that produces more coverage.

Rain is training in W Austin again !! 3” total so far ! Wowww! Tropical rain

Yeah, just got confirmation from my dad that they got almost 5 inches. My brother 5 to 10 miles east of him got 4.82 inches. My dad said he watered the yard yesterday morning, and got 5 inches last night. I mentioned that should help the watering to soak in.

This is amazing ! 2 hours of raining buckets !
