Texas Summer 2025

[rwfromkansas]

Well this is a first.

A flood watch where I got…zero inches of rain.

Huge forecast bust for all of north and northwest Texas.

To be fair their are localized spots in North Texas that did receive 2-3+ inches of rain. Its just the nature of localized heavy rain (especially in the Summer where things are mesoscale driven). Some people may not see anything while down the street somebody else gets dumped with a few inches of rain in an hour or so. LOL This time of year its the "luck of the draw" when it comes to heavy rainfall events.

I am in North Fort Worth as well, off of Park Vista and Basswood, and we got dumped on.

The 12z icon which as of now remains an outlier among other globals, but on its last few runs its been advertising a tropical system moving into the Houston area backing west into central Texas by next weekend.

The tropical prediction center has the north central gulf region under a low risk for tropical development next week so definitely nothing set in stone here by any means, but obviously something to watch.

It's beginning to look like Lake Buchanan may fill, I began to wonder a while ago if LCRA would be considering opening floodgates there. Just my personal observation. The San Saba and Colorado rising again (direct feeders to Buchanan) and the Llano surging again (right below Buchanan, will feed Travis).

Right.

While virtually everyone else in DFW had been getting slammed by severe storms / flash flooding the past 1-2 weeks, I got nothing IMBY (and this was in partly why I hadn't been posting).

But last evening, I was finally in (or pretty close to) the bullseye.

[rwfromkansas]

At least I got a few inches last week or so, I bullseyed once.

[rwfromkansas]

It’s kind of eerie how similar the path to the NE the rain is from July to the days after.

[snownado]

DFW managed to eek out a late day high of 90*F today with enough afternoon breaks in the clouds. I was certain it would fall short

[rwfromkansas]

Hey, finally getting some rain today.

[cstrunk]

Pretty well defined MCV spinning over Forth Worth this morning causing some showers and thunderstorms. Flooding rains again overnight in the hill country. Torrential rain still falling north of Eagle Pass on the border.

I've done well enough with rain over the last week, close to two inches over three separate events. After starting to dry out a bit we're back in the rainforest.

[utpmg]

LCRA will likely open a flood gate at Lake Buchanan today as it reaches "full" at 1020'. A lot of inflows still, and it's raining in the Hill Country again. Lake Travis still has a lot of room; will be interesting to see how much it recovers yet.

[utpmg]

Make that two floodgates; I think first time in 6 years they've opened one.

[rwfromkansas]

Well got .55 so I will take it. Had 1.63 last week so overall a great July even if no more rain.

[wxman22]

Yikes! More flooding is ongoing in SC Texas this morning.That's how it is though when you've been in a constant drought for multiple years it was inevitable that it would end in floods.The atmosphere likes to balance things out sooner or later.2015 was also a year where the atmosphere balanced it self out from the multi year record breaking drought across the state in the early 2010's.The multi year drought is finally ending in SC Texas, just wish the flooding tragedy wasn't part of it.

[BrokenGlass]

Any thoughts on what the rest of the summer looks like for North Texas? Enjoying the moderate temps, but it seems like there is always a form of payback at some point.

Would love to have a swirling upper level system like that move through DFW in about 6 months, and about 45 degrees colder…
