And I am allergic to penicillin so it really gets on me sometimes.

Someone tell all those upstream of San Antonio to get off the Guadalupe river… we don't need anymore events over there, just run all the RV park people out until this passes… camps shouldn't be open now but if they are they need to be ready to shut down too. Heed the warnings and get off the rivers people

I'm ready. Yard mowed everything put away.

OMG! They are never prepared for that because it is dry. When that hits Big Bend?

Good rain to fill up Caballo and Elephant Butt!

No, that sucker was over 25 feet tall and gave a lot of shade on my backyard/patio so I'm really missing it. It will be several years before I can get the new one even near that.

Living in a desert and hearing flooding is coming your way definitely hits different. Can attest to this. Spent majority of my life in the desert.

I'm not really a fan of desert climates. I like them more lush but then again I have the most of my life in Texas. It's so dry here/cracked around in places in Bryan right now. It's gonna take a while for the initial heavy range to soak in.

We need the rain in BCS. Last abundant rain was end of May. Got 1.5" middle of July and 0.5" around mid-September. Four months with 2" of rain and 100+ heat in an area that typically gets 40" to 42" annually doesn't cut it. Bring it on.

The last few months have been the stuff you'd see in a Roland Emmerich movie. The earth is changing into something a bit more hostile to our survival. I don't necessarily think it's human caused.

Maybe Choke Canyon will get a bunch more water ? The politicians in Corpus that spent / wasted all the state donations for water desalination would like that …

Yeah something's up. Coastal SoCal has been hot(ter) and humid(er) than usual - by a lot. My electric bill has been off the charts this summer and more hot weather is due in the next few days. LA County Vector Control was in my neighborhood this morning at/around the storm drains abating mosquitos (basically unheard of). One of the beach neighborhoods here in Long Beach is getting bashed due to Polo - the beach used to be +75 yards wide over there and now waves are directly pummeling houses.

My grandad always said "after every long dry spell, it comes a rain". I guess it's really coming this time.

Love the old-timer wisdom. My great-grandmother used to marvel at how she always found something in the last place that she looked.

I've got one outside of Kerrville Thursday through Saturday.

If it rains I'm just going to lay out in the pasture

Sounds nice

The annual tradition in Texas' capital city kicks off on Friday, October 2, with Weekend 1 running through Sunday, October 4 ahead of a second round of festivities Friday, October 9 through Sunday, October 11. This year, festivalgoers are bracing for a potential wet start to October courtesy forecast rain throughout Central Texas, with those storms projected to start late Wednesday, September 30 before carrying through the weekend.

My best friend and I will be going to the Arkansas game, and I will be bringing a poncho.

These rapid drought/flood condition swings are going to become the norm as time goes on in the south and southeast. It's just the nature of rising average temperatures in the region.

We'll get 1/4 in. in central Collin Co.

We've got lotsa climate change here on lake LBJ. Was in 90's yesterday and here it's in the 70's now.

Latest model run and rainfall prediction for NTX. Dangerous flooding is still expected with a Moderate risk in place for most of NTX along with a flood watch for 2-6 inches of rain. Storms should start in DFW anywhere from Wednesday night-Thursday morning. Be ready for the rain! pic.twitter.com/CT2MombxSu

Mets blew their load on Sunday.

They were forecasting 4-6" of widespread rain and flash flooding.
Yesterday it was 2-4" predicted.
This morning it's 1-2" of rain and "scattered flash flooding"

This is trending towards a nothing burger.

You referring to the full 3 day spread projected? I am still seeing it as 2-4 in my area with possible up to 6. But that is total over the 3 day period which has always been the case from the get go. Did notice this morning though the heavier line is getting pushed more to the east however so I should escape the worst of the worst I think. But yes, the first predictions got downgraded considerably. It happens. Expected even.

ETA: My bad. I thought this was the rain thread on the Metroplex board I am also posting on. I've been referring to that area specifically and was confused what you were looking at as I thought you were in this area too.

Crazy amount of water running toward elephant butte. It's massive though, so we will see if it fills up

Without any Atlantic hurricanes to hype up this year, they had to go to something. Rains, possible flooding that comes with rains, thunderstorms, or heavy dew, has to be something.

High desert is amazing though. It can be just as lush but in a different way. Glad we are up high though. This flooding in NM down south at lower elevations is not great.
