Flood to fire to flood again. We're supposed to get deluged over the next 4 days by TS Patricia in the Pacific, and troughs coming from the Southwest. NWS is going with 3-6" widespread and locally 8-10" through this weekend. If this is the start to a wet El Niño winter, many of us will be flooded again soon.

The 00z ECMWF had widespread totals of 5-8" over Central, Eastern TX with a large bullseye > 10" near Austin. Most of the moisture however comes from the tropical moisture coming out of the Gulf and the trough digging into the Plains.

That kind of rain would definitely cause flooding on some of the rivers, although it wouldn't be severe because of how dry it's been here. Some parts near here have barely seen a couple of showers since mid June, and we've had 25 100 degree days since then, along with upper 90s just last week. This is the first cloudy day here in months.

Water temps where the source region of moisture is comming from are over 30c in mid october!!! That's just nuts. Start building an ark

Also since you moved we have had a similar situation in your home area. Almost no rain except 2 flash flood events. One which hit lb hard and clipped me the other that chrushed me and clipped lb. Almost no rain all summer to 6" in one day. It ran off and led to some serious flash flooding top 3 I have ever seen here

Models are starting to get crazy for the I-35 corridor. The GFS had an area of over 12" of rain near Dallas, and the Euro has a wide 4-8" swath with spots over 10" from Corpus Christi to Austin to Dallas. The trajectories aloft look favorable for training heavy rain, and the source regions for the rain have huge moisture content. TS Patricia will also contribute this weekend. Memorial Day had a similar profile and resulted in tremendous flooding. We're going to this from floods in June, to areas with extreme drought again today after a very hot and dry summer.

That'd be cool, but boring. Uncertainty adds to the excitement.

That would be horrible. I think we live in the prime period for a weather enthusiast. CC and computer models good enough to make it fun to track long range events without completely spoiling things. I think in 30 years models will be so good our hobby will be observational rather then forecast based

I'm entirely unconvinced. They'll get better, but not that much in the grand scheme of things.

According to Moore's law with processor speeds doubling every two years in 30 years today's room size super computers will be the size of a cell phone. A super computer at that time will be capable of billions of times more calculations then our current ones.

I think they will be deadly accurate at that time
