Again, we were right in between all the heavy stuff. Not even a 10th of an inch... all around us had an inch or more probably.

I left town for the day, but not before I ran the damn sprinklers this morning....

But, glad we got some rain in my hood.

I'll take credit for that.






I was about to go run some errands after being inside all day.

Area rainfall totals are updated daily here: https://bvwatersmart.tamu.edu/ data comes from digital rain gauges placed around Bryan and College Station. On Monday all of the sprinkler icons were green, meaning watering needed. Now seeing some turn to red, meaning watering not needed.

An outstanding, yet simple, piece of watering advice I received (credit to Texas A&M Agrilife Water University): "irrigation supplements rainfall, not the other way around."

My rain gauge recorded 0.25" Monday, 0.5" yesterday, and so far 0.25" today, so I will keep my sprinklers off for now.

Looks like it's about to be a very wet move-out day

Over 2 inches in my gauge. Middle of CS (Old Midtown, not new Midtown). Very welcome this time of year, but understandably an annoyance for movers. However, if they are up early, it's a little cooler today.

Seemed like it was lightening almost all night long. We got 2.5 inches off 30 and had a couple of washout spots. New place for us that's 5 acres and glad to see the land did decent with a short, heavy downpour.

One month bump here....

My weather app says we have rain coming the next few days. The radar says otherwise. Where is this "rain" coming from?

Side note - have y'all seen the temps for late next week? Mmmmmm, delicious. Low 80's.

Umm. sometimes rain comes because storms just start forming... there doesn't need to be a set of clouds and rain coming down from Canada for several days before it gets here.

Aggie Dome is putting up a valiant fight.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Nary a spit'o rain here in South CS/Towerpoint. Just a tease to look out the window facing north and seeing the dark clouds laughing at my crisped lawn and wilted plants.

Effing dry line. How frustrating.

Been raining for over an hour at our house in the Tabor area. Rained HARD for about 20-30 minutes

Unreal how dry it is in my neighborhood. How unfortunate the dry line is literally over the Fitch corridor.

Got soaked on campus at lunch and figured I'd see some good news when I get home. About .1 inches in the rain gauge. So disappointing.

Rain chance for this evening and tomorrow started at 80% and now it's down to 50%. It will end up at the typical 20% and we'll get nothing.

I'll go turn my sprinkler back on.

At least the temps are lower, though. That's a bonus.

Hmm. All it took was some incessant whining from me and also for me to also just leave town.

Duly noted.

That had nothing to do with it.

I am confident that it rained because I washed my car AND mowed the lawn.
