Re: Texas Spring-2014
Recorded 1.85" of rain since midnight. That takes the two-day total close to 4 inches! I'm going to steal the McDonalds ad phrase and write: I'm Loving It!

Nice to see the area lakes starting to respond to all of this.
We need a few more of these over the next week to make a dent. But, at least it's better than nothing.
Lake Buchanan is expected to rise to between 988 and 989 over the next 24 hours. Lake Travis is expected to rise to between 626 and 626.5 over the next 24 hours.

It's not just you, but the DFW area. Today was supposed to be our big rain day so we'll just have to wait and see. We need the big rain area to the south to move further off to the east, because it's probably robbing us of inflow.
I think we are effectively getting dry slotted.

I want to see what happens out west with clearing occurring and instability increasing. Hopefully we start seeing storms develop and move our way. It would be nice to see an MCS develop and move slowly over us.

I havent seen dewpoints on the backside of the low but is it possible you guys can get the wrap around moisture? Another line is developing now which should hit SE texas later. Dont think were playing softball tomorrow night if we get another half inch or so

I need to check when this cell started with the rain again here. I had to get up to close windows and i had a new 1.3 inches at the moment and i could promise it hadnt been raining for more than 15 minutes. Was adding .2 inches every update on my weather center. Sounds like Cypress will go over its banks too according to the NWS

I feel for you dhweather. That has been our luck the past several events, with the exception of this last one, and maybe the one a couple weeks ago. Sorry about that.
