I love Outdoors Maryland! I think my most “old person” coded thing is watching that show and Maryland Farm and Harvest on PBS. lol

I do too.  If they could throw in Norm working out of his New England workshop and a Bob Ross episode, I'd be in heaven.

Bro we are the same.

I am an outstanding forecaster as the same areas continue to get drowned by heavy rain and Austin remains drier than a proverbial popcorn fart. That Curl Pattern always leaves Austin out to dry. At this time I expect approximately one sixteenth of an inch as the front goes by eventually. Farther west torrential rain continues, provoking more flooding.

 

Edit - Sun's been out. Mostly cloudy with a nice wind and still no rain. It's truly amazing, looking at all that torrential rain about 60 to 120 miles west of us, curling right past Austin nearly into West Virginia!!!!! Lots places getting a good deal of rain! Washington, DC's next!

Front should go by late tonight, giving the new Gobi Desert of central Texas maybe a sprinkle or two then in comes the high winds and chilly weather blowing the dust around. I got 6 inch dust dunes in my pasture from all the dry Gobi winds lol!

Best of luck with the rescues west of us! That heavy rain's been hammering them for twelve straight hours! We're so hard up for water, might have buy some off you guys!

Just another DRY rainless day down here in Gobi, Texas.

[Jebman]

Hays County where I reside, been dropped from the flood watch. It's done. We transition to the Pacific air mass with little to no rain as the central Texan Gobi Desert continues to develop unopposed by significant precip amid the Nina.  

I knew it all along. Texas is transitioning to a much drier climate even as millions of legal people rapidly move in as more and more businesses come to Austin. One day very soon, WATER will be nearly as expensive  as GOLD down here.

1) Wells dry up.

2) No water at all.

3) Water has to be paid for and Austin is already using up the Colorado River so water will need to be piped in from the Pac Northwest. It's gonnabe PRICEY.

4) Wealthy folks will move out, to moister places like New Orleans. I'd love that place, rain all the time and one hell of a nightlife, I'd do things that'd make RavensRule blush with total embarrassment! I am most assuredly, NOT conservative no more! I am going to do stuff in late life that will make Solomon of old's late life look like one of Billy Graham's sons' dedication to g-d.

 

EDIT: Keeping things 100 - yes we did get a brief shower, it did wet the pavement but will do nothing for our water needs or agriculture needs. We still have millions of legal people moving to central TX along with businesses and the wells will dry up then water will cost a sizable fraction of our annual income forcing people to leave for wetter climes.

We have now been officially MISSED by this weather system. We will miss the next one in a couple days as well. We will be dry and desertification will continue apace in central TX.

Winds are gusting to 15-25mph straight out of the north, Pac front hit us, some bit of rain is scudding by. This is just another day in the Gobi Desert of central Texas. Dry conditions continue apace.

RAIN FUTILITY MARKERS

1) Rain delayed is rain denied or at least greatly reduced.

2) The Curly Pattern near Austin invalidates upper level low rains and Pacific frontal rains.

3) La Nina will keep Austin 15 degrees above normal and rainless for the most part. We have consistently been 15 degrees above normal with high temperatures. Last night the low was 73. Normal low is 48. NORMAL HIGH is 66 !!!! OUCH. This is becoming normal in autumn down here.

4) Differences between air masses temperatures and humidities mean absolutely NOTHING down here. Thermodynamics mean absolutely NOTHING down here. Forecasters routinely get humbled. If it were 95 degrees with 73 dews in Austin and a Polar front with 47/35 air hits us, it would get cold but rain would be minimal to none. Not sure why but this is our new normal down here. Upper level lows and fronts do next to nothing here besides changing the air mass.

MORE WILL BE ADDED.

The Washington DC Metropolitan Region will get beneficial rains from the system that just missed us. You guys are downstream of us and will benefit from this weather system as it continues to develop as it translates E/NE with time. Another rainmaker will help Washington out right after that. Same reason come December/January/February you will see snows from the intersection of moisture contributions from Texas and the Gulf of Mexico and cold air.

Our misses and failures will become YOUR BIG STORM DIRECT HITS ON YOUR ENTIRE SUB this entire winter! First beneficial rains, later translating into really good snows that will pile up and wear out your backs as you will be forced to dig snow after snow after snow!
