Lows in the 50's and highs in the 80's recently in ETX. Not too shabby. Getting a few sprinkles today with an afternoon temp of 71 near Longview. We're starting to get dry again so hopefully we get something out of the current 30% chances for Thursday/Friday.

I didn't have high hopes for rain since they lowered the rain chances to 30% in Tyler, but we got lucky and picked up somewhere between 1-1.5" or so. I'm looking forward to the 80's this week.

Yes, it was a weather delay. There were thunderstorms in the area that later dissipated.

We've had maybe a couple of tenths at my apartment in Tyler, TX so far this weekend, once again missing out on any of the heavier downpours. Other areas have been more fortunate and we should get a good rain continuing throughout today. Where I work, we have received about 1"-1.5" this weekend near Hallsville, TX. It is humid outside but it is very nice to have a week of temperatures in the 80's in mid-August in Texas. Glad a lot of places are getting rain as well, luckily nothing like what Louisiana experienced.

The last few days have been interesting, with many areas getting good amounts of decent rainfall from afternoon/evening storms. Yesterday was nice here at work where we had a couple different rounds of thunderstorms and moderate/heavy rain. Afternoon temperatures fell into the low/mid-70's, which is a Godsend in July for this area. Tyler (at least IMBY) has missed most of the more widespread heavy rain, but has had a few localized downpours here and there. We have a couple more days of rain chances before it heats back up and dries out next week.

The storms are dying out now to the east. Another sprinkle/light shower event for here, if we even get that.

Fairly substantial outflow is pushing west, south, and eastward, firing new convection as it passes. I'm hopeful that with this eastward progression it might trigger a storm IMBY!

Cluster of strong storms dropping south towards DFW from the Red River. The DFW area sure has been getting lucky with these lately. We could use some rain a bit farther east.

Awesome tornado. Another thing you can take from the video is to never trust Reed Timmer's judgement in close proximity to tornadoes. Even if he says, "I promise!"

Two tornado warnings, one in far SW IA the other in far NW MO.
