Is it ever going to rain in Houston again?

[JenBayles]

Looks like yet another system fizzles out and we're back to maybe 20% for tomorrow night - if we're lucky. It's killin me...

I'm sorry to hear the lack of rain is causing you so much physical agony. It is only killing my grass and flowers. And my water bill!!!

[JenBayles]

Don't I know it about the water bill! Sheesh! I just really enjoy the spring storm season, and so far there just hasn't been one. I'm over this "nice, wonderful, cook, dry, sunny" weather. Phooey!

Only a 10% on 1 out of the next 7 days . Back to the watering & water bill !

On a side note though, I don't mind it being dry since the temps have been so nice. It honestly hasn't felt like "summer" (hot, humid, hazy) around here yet this year, and that's perfectly fine with me .

[Yankeegirl]

I think we might get something... my leg is killing me, its aching soooo bad... Ususally does that when we get some rain...

[KatDaddy]

Just wait until the tide turns. Its been a very different spring with record cold, limited severe weather and a dry in the Southern Plains.

That is my worry, KD!! Usually when we have weather like we have been for an extended period, especially if it has been hot, which it hasn't been yet thankfully, we get some sort of dousing, usually by a tropcial system. Not saying we will get a tropical system anytime soon because there is nothing to indicate we will, but I figure we'll have some sort of dousing/flooding event soon enough.

It's interesting (but irritating if you're on elevated "rainwatch" and relying too much on the sprinklers) how the consecutive systems that have brought frontal passages to the Gulf Coast this spring have repeatedly tended to suddenly ramp up the precip amounts once they've passed 90 degrees W. While we in central and southeast Louisiana aren't experiencing the lack of rainfall to the degree that locations in southeast and especially south Texas are, our totals pale in comparison to our neighbors east in south Mississippi, Alabama, and especially the NW Florida panhandle, where flooding has been a big problem this spring. If you look on the map below, you can see that the area of heaviest moisture is localized to an area roughly 100-150 miles in diameter.

Certainly makes one wonder what this all portends for the months ahead. Hopefully not a repeat of last summer in terms of the lack of precipitation along the west central and western Gulf Coast (LA, TX) and the now infamous general tropical storm track pattern.

[vbhoutex]

Woohoo!!!! Rain!!!! We got 0.04" overnight!!!! I now know what a damp street looks like!!!!

[gboudx]

We finally got some decent rain up here in DFW. I'll need to check my rain gauge when I get home. Hopefully this is enough to wash the pollen out of the air.

[cctxhurricanewatcher]

Nothing here in Corpus. I should know when our local weather guys hype up the rain, it will not come.

It's getting real dry, folks!

[JenBayles]

Whoo hooo! Calling for 30% on Sunday. Anyone wanna bet it fizzles?

If the capping isn't too strong we will have a good chance of rain on sunday, but we know how the cap has been in the past-NOT OOUR FRIEND!!!

Anyway, I forgot and left the water running all last night so half of my yard is watered for the rest of the month!!!!

[JenBayles]

LOL David! Yeah, that stinking CAP!

I'm not going to envy you the water bill at the end of the month. Ouch!

[Skywatch_NC]

For awhile there it seemed like se TX was getting rain daily and TOO much of that good kinda thing...now hardly at all...feast or famine time!

Wish I could have shared the 1.10" that fell in my gauge yesterday from a Nor'easter.

Looks to me like there was plenty in the way of precip there today with the MCS. Looks like 3+ inches around that area.

[vbhoutex]

Widespread 1"-3" amounts all over the area. Lots of tree damage and a few buildings damaged due to high winds associated with the storms. We actually had 3 rounds of storms yesterday with each one increasingly strong.
