Looks like the first real week of heat will be arriving in Texas next week with mid-90's in the forecast and dry conditions.
We've been doing pretty well with receiving rain this spring in east Texas... but it looks like I'll have to start watering my lawn next week.
Yeah it was. A good 20+ minutes of 50-60 mph gusts here. Knocked over the next door neighbor's fence. Also heard a tree fall a block north and partially land on a house, luckily it wasn't directly on it.
Cold front is on its way through... thought all of the precipitation would miss me but we're getting a tail-end storm finally. It won't be a lot but it's something at least!
I ended up getting 1.6" from yesterday around noon until this morning at 7:30 AM. The radar estimate seems way off, as it shows that I should have only had about 0.3". I guess the small droplet size had something to do with that?
Oh wow, that's nuts. Is that the only model that picks up on this that you've seen? Hopefully that's an outlier and can be disregarded, but it would be nice if we ended up with more than an inch. Just not 12".
I'm curious, where do you go to view the Euro model? I use COD weather but it doesn't have that model. Everything on there looks like 0.5"-1" for at least the Longview area now, instead of 2-4" from yesterday.
It's hot and dry... this week doesn't look much different, although temperatures should be in the mid-90's compared to the 100's over the last few days. Very small chances for rain Mon-Wed.
Cashed in on the recent mini-drought in my backyard big-time today. Some of the hardest rain I've seen all season, combined with a bit of small hail and 20+ minute barrage of crazy close-range CG lightning. I ended up with 2.6" of rain in a little over an hour.
