Which will win, the number of jacket weather days or the number of 80 degree days?

Unless it is Sunday... then it is 100% chance of rain.

It’s a warm one. Sitting at 87 right now.

My 5 model blend for Augusta rainfall from midnight Friday thru 10 pm Sunday is .91"...... This compares to .24" at 8 am Wednesday.

The AI models are similar to the physics models at 2 pm. 

The WPC is in line with the 5 model blend.

I'm willing to bet DCA makes a run at 90 tomorrow

It's hard to believe it's been raining all day lol. Backedge is roaring though. Should clear out in 3 hours. Nebraska got most of our moisture  lol.

No argument here. It was straight up hot in the afternoon sun in my nhood. Nice evening though once the sun angle got low.

Yeah back edge and drastic drying taking place only 20 miles west of here. We typically get afternoon rains then clearing, then hazy hot and humid again tomorrow, even in October lol. Eked out about an inch. We got lucky, but many places 950 miles to the north got the jackpot with 8 inches of fresh rain. They are starting out the autumn right with torrential rain followed by a metric ton of El Nino aided snow.

Forecasts claim 100 percent chance of rain in Austin tonight but I know that is nonsense. It's already drying out to the west and the system is speeding east like a runaway freight train. Maybe we'll get more rain later this month, maybe not.

Just looked at my point and click. Don't particularly know what the Texan nws has been smoking lately, 100 percent rain tonight, 90 percent tomorrow? Naaaah.

Hey Austin NWS office, gimme some of what you've been smoking! Damn that stuff must be epic!

We were supposed to be on a flight from BWI to DFW today but they kept delaying and finally canceled.  (American Airlines). DFW claims 3.47" for today. 

Try again tomorrow.

Not sure what's going on here in Buda, TX but this rain on the extreme back edge just keeps trying to backbuild. Light to moderate rain has started back up. Hmmmmm.....

 

EDIT! OK, the rain is moving firmly east. The storm is over. Someone needs to get the Austin NWS off the crack-pipe and back to meteorology school because even I know this storm is OVER! The PWATS are down to 0.3, not 2.2, and the moisture is GONE already!

This stuff is pure bullshyte! These Texas mets need to go back to school. I KNOW Buda weather. When the storm is over, the storm is OVER.

Showers and thunderstorms will redevelop tonight
across the Hill Country, I-35 Corridor, and Coastal Plains. With
the high PW airmass locally heavy rain will continue to be
possible.

I know where I live ---- One of the driest regions on the planet!

I do NOT ever get my hopes up. No more rain for me tonight. Next rain chance is October 21. Till then warm and humid and superabundant sunshine!

High of 90 here in upper NW

Wow man precip is beginning to blossom all over south central Texas at 3am Texas time! It happened all of a sudden! There was this big yellow blob heading for Kyle then everything suddenly blossomed all over! BRING IT THE HELL ON, EL NINO!

Woooooooooooo-----Hooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
