    Storms later yesterday morning ahead of a July 31 cold front (say what??) brought about 1.05" of rain in about 30 minutes. Chances of rain for the next week look pretty slim with drier air moving into the region.

    A couple showers last week added up to about 0.25" but yesterday I cashed in on 0.55" from a strong shower produced by the enhanced sea breeze from one of Hanna's outer bands. Another wave is headed this way this afternoon.

    Monday through Tuesday (mostly overnight) I finally cashed in. I measured 3.25" in my rain gauge. Pretty crazy how wet we have been over the last week or so. I'm glad I finally got a really good rain since the Texas furnace is about to start crankin'.

    Continuing the trend of getting just enough rain, but missing out on much bigger amounts. I got about 0.1" Friday evening and 0.75" early this morning. About 10 miles away NWS Shreveport noted a measurement of 6.43" from just this morning...

    I ended up getting 0.7" in my rain gauge yesterday evening. Just narrowly missed much heavier downpours that would have given me double the amount or more, but I'll take it! The NWS forecast seems much more optimistic than the QPF predicted by WPC over the next few days. We have 40-50% rain chances each day through Friday, and then 30% chances Saturday and Sunday. WPC's graphics show dry conditions Friday-Sunday.

    The DFW metro sure has been lucky with getting some really nice rains the last few days. Not so lucky here in Longview - yet. Chances of rain continue through the weekend.

    I got lucky on a few days ago and picked up 0.35" at my house, enough to avoid watering. The forecast for the next week looks favorable for rain as well. We drove to Fort Worth last night as the MCS was rolling in, it blew our Toyota around pretty good on 635.

    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.

    Had a couple pieces of graupel fall from the sky in Longview this morning. Air temp is 46F.

    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.

    Day 3 Slight Risk for NE TX, N LA, S AR, and W MS. Mentions after dark tornadic potential with strengthening LLJ.

    Models are showing a pretty good severe/tornado threat this afternoon/evening in extreme SE New Mexico and SW Texas.

    Measured another 2.5" at my house from yesterday's and last night's rain. My yard is a bit swampy.

    I had another 0.7" Wednesday during the day, putting my 3 day total at about 8". The golf course next to my office had a wee bit of water in it.

    I measured 4.1" of rain from yesterday through 7 AM this morning. Combined with 3.2" from earlier this week puts me at 7.3" for the week.
  16. cstrunk
    I had 2.6" of rain IMBY earlier this morning. More heavy rain expected through Wednesday. *Update: 3.2" total for the day through 7 pm.

    North Central TX might see some interesting storms later this afternoon.
  18. cstrunk
    Maybe we'll get lucky but it sounds like we'll just get lots of cold rain...
  19. cstrunk
    So much junk... moderate risk what?

    The GFS has been advertising some kind of ice/sleet/snow event for western/central/northeast TX in the January 15-17th range mid-late next week.

    Brrrr. I'm surprised it's this cold already and it's not even officially winter.
  22. cstrunk
    I ended up with 0.6" rain at my house, more than I thought!
  23. cstrunk
    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!
  24. cstrunk
    The forecast high for Monday is 73. After a mid-week warmup, next Friday and Saturday will only reach the upper 60's. Fall is here (finally)!
  25. cstrunk
    I'm definitely looking forward to some cooler temps next week. September was a heater. And would a little bit of rain be too much to ask for?
