Day 1: "The sky is going to fall! The sky is going to fall!"

Nothing.

Day 2: "The sky is going to fall! The sky is going to fall!"

Nothing.

Day 3: "The sky is going to fall! The sky is going to fall!"

Tiny bit of rain in College Station proper.

"See? I was right!"

If I tell you it is going to rain enough days in a row, eventually I'll be right.

Poured 1.2 inches out of the gauge this morning! So very thankful God cranked open the Kurten Dome!

If listening to a particular meteorologist is triggering anger in some viewers when said meteorologist has difficulty with accurately predicting what your daily weather environment will be over the neighborhood, perhaps it would be beneficial to consider other resources for the benefit of your health.

For example:

A weather app on your phone.

The newspaper in the driveway. If it is wet, it is raining.

The Farmer's Almanac

Aunt Millie's elbow. If it hurts, it is going to rain.

Weather forecasting has come a long ways over the last 20-30 years. When I was little, I can remember our weather guy had a pad on an easel and when he was done with the forecast, he would draw "Gusty," a little man depicting what the weather would be (with an umbrella if it was going to rain). I also remember a weatherman named Gary England who was great during severe weather events when we lived north of the Red River. It sure was nice to have the extra time to take shelter.

I'm sure they will work on their chaos theory and get those models ever more accurate as the years go by. Isn't weather amazing?

So you lived in Tulsa and watched Don Woods?

I was pretty young so I don't remember his name, but it was on the evening news when we lived in that area.

It supposed to work like this:

Yea, Shel, I really need to get the yard ready for an event this weekend so if you could arrange for some rain maybe Tuesday for a little greening up, that would give me a day or two to dry out for mowing late Thursday, then a half an inch Friday to freshen up and by no means can you allow it to rain Saturday. That would be great. Thanks.

The weather forecast models are inaccurate. None of them factor in the "Aggie Dome" effect.

Nothing so far in my part of Bryan other than enough to show up on the hood of my truck. In fact, the sun keeps trying to break through the clouds every so often. Probably going to start watering the grass tonight because as usual, the weather forecast seems to have missed by a mile.

I think we are about to get slammed. The radar looks menacing.

He must be looking at Houston. The local radar shows rain west of BCS and a light dim pale green band usually meaning 8 drops per acre over 1 Hour making its way here. Not enough to piss off a dirt pile

The DOME has been BREACHED! Been raining like crazy in the Nantucket area today with not much sign of letting up. I'd be surprised if we didn't have over 2-3" so far.

The Aggiedome worked in world record fashion in July at my place. Finished July with only about 1 inch TOTAL . The big rains that most of Brazos got earlier missed us damn near completely. Serious drought here and complete dead yards all over. Watering every day is not making much of a dent since there is no moisture in the ground.
This is a serious dry spell for our little part of the county. If we don't get any rain on Tuesday as predicted I think it's tije to just give up and let it all die or go dormant.

sorry, I had just finished walking the perimeter of the place with dog and it sounded and felt like I was walking on a giant field of corn flakes. A lot of the formerly known as grass is not just dormant but burned to a crisp dead. We only got one really good soaking rain in the spring so I guess we were doomed from the start.

Well so far not enough to rearrange the dust on the truck hood. Lots of nice thunder last night but very little rain. This really sucks

We got about 1/8" in 15 minutes off RP and Holleman. I'll take it but no where near enough

The Aggiedome was definitely in full effect last night. We stood on our porch and watched it lightning all around us (and heard the thunder) but received less than 1/10 of an inch.
