Southern Plains weather thread -- NO WAY!!! A COLD FRONT!!!!

Could Wednesday be the first rainfall to fall at my house since the 14th of May?

A heavy rain event is shaping up for someone in North Texas. 2"-4" or more can be expected near the track of the low.

The track has shifted east of DFW now but I am still hopeful for at least a few drops of rain.

Seems like these dang lows always go farther east than predicted.....just like the last five or so hurricane remnants in as many years.

Left high and dry in Dallas with less than a quarter inch for the whole event. Its amazing it ever rains here at all. Dying MCS events to the North, warm-core lows to the south and east, dry-line events to the west...here I am, stuck in the middle with none. (sounds like a song I know). At least our farm in Luling got in on the action. Meteorologically speaking, our area is just here to separate the above weather phenomenon. Every once in a while we get lucky and catch a little of that cool outflow from dying MCS's in Oklahoma. We even got a little bit of that 'damp-woodsy' cool breath from air blown out of east texas from all those rain-cooled forests over there with the low this morning.

I feel the same way, especially here in Garland where even the garden-variety popup storms seem to dump everywhere but here. But we did get a reminder back on February 11 that every once in a while, even DFW is a bulls-eye. You never know when we'll be the locality under the gun.

Rainfall totals from the recent storm:

Very light rain in DFW Today.

Would this be considered an inverted trough?
