I live in South Central Texas, in Buda. I know this area is a hell of a lot drier than where I moved here from, N Virginia. Buda is lucky as heck to eke out 30 inches of rain in 365 days' time. But this so-called upper level low is a heartbreaker. We have eked out a ten thousandth of an inch from it so far. We had a 90 percent chance of rain last night. No rain. We had a 90 percent chance of rain today. Okay, I got three hundred light drops of rain, tho they were so damn small, I had to use a scanning electron microscope to see them. I have a 90 percent chance of rain tonight. I dont think so.
We need rain bad in south central Texas. Everyone from all over is moving to south central Texas and we are absolutely sucking the Ogallala Aquifer dry. We need good rains BAD, but we are S.O.L., shoot out of luck. We are in a drought and we arent getting out of it for years to come.
Every time we have a categorical chance of rain - I refuse to believe in it. We do better when we have a 10 percent chance of rain. Tomorrow, clearing skies, wall to wall Texas sunshine and back to our regularly scheduled drought.
It's a MIRACLE! We got 2 inches of rain late last night after all!
