Hitting up the car wash again tomorrow and parking in the driveway.
Big time rain over the next week.
PLAN AHEAD! A lot of rain is coming for many places in Texas! In advance of this welcome rain, there's a few things you can do.

-Check/clear out gutters and drains around your house
-Remove debris from street drains
-Make sure windshield wipers are working well.#dfwwx #txwx pic.twitter.com/x0B4QfwOER
Need a bunch of runoff to fill up the stock tanks outside of Cisco.
Sorry to be cynical, but this rain event is starting to reach a level of overhype where I now believe a jinx is fully possible.

I'm running sprinklers today. Washing cars. Do your part.
I have a flight at 6am Tuesday. I'm fully expecting it to be cancelled and my day to be a nightmare.

Well that was going to happen either way.

Replaced a broken sprinkler head today . Will drive Mrs car through the wash later. I'm trying.mosdefn14 said:

Very valid point
BAS over here affecting weather expectations.
Just got some new golf clubs and hope to get out any play.
Taking a different tact and will be cleaning out my gutters this morning as part of our rain dance.
Everything staying to the north so far and it appears the rain chances for the rest of the week are starting to diminish. Guess I'll do everyone a favor and go wash my truck!
Based on the forecasts the past several days most of the rain isn't supposed to hit dfw till tonight through Tuesday am. They are still saying 4-6" for most of north Texas through half the state really.
I really hope they are right.

I finished gutters. Hopefully, I didn't throw my back out so we better get some rain if I did.

BAS is strong with this one. They are reporting 100% rain 48 hours starting tonight. I appreciate it being on me l, but this would be epic fail from our meteorologists across all forecasts.
If we wake up tomorrow morning with nothing across the metroplex then I hear you, Aggies will never win a NC again and DFW will dry up into a desert.
Keeps missing our place west of Cisco by about 20 miles north. Went from 5 days of 55% rain to one day at 75%.
Curious where the next waves are coming from because it seems like DFW is sitting in the gap for this round
Coming down pretty good in lakewood
Concrete still dry here. Been waiting on this since 3:00 yesterday. Glad it's coming down elsewhere though. As much as I need the rain we all just need some reservoirs and aquifers to be recharged.
Where are you located?
I'm in northwest Plano and we haven't had squat so far. Some blue sky out there right now

Southlake.
Finfrock saying it is going to be over in DFW by tomorrow afternoon now.
Local media has been acting like they do with winter weather. The jinx is on.
FWIW, Accuweather.com has 100, 100, 88, 88, 40 for rain coverage Today through Thursday.
I'm not sure which service would be more accurate but there still appears to be chances of widespread rain in certain forecasts.
Additionally, Accuweather has 40 percent or more chance for next Saturday through the 31st, too.
It basically looks like this with higher coverage chances.
Delkus doesn't ever seem to use high percentages far out, which is the smart approach when >3 days away.

Highest rain coverage comes over the next 24 hrs. Rain chances go down middle of the week, but not completely gone! Temps stay below season norms. #wfaaweather pic.twitter.com/yBfeSnJsic

My fault guys. Moved my girls' birthday party from the neighborhood pool to our house because of the rain threat.
Won't happen again.
Won't happen again.
Sorry as well. Brought my umbrella into church this morning.
I turned the sprinklers off so they wouldn't run tomorrow. Sorry
I left sprinklers on last night to prevent this and you guys ruined it! Thanks!!
I had water today. Should have only drank beer

I tried to warn you guys… Let's hope tomorrow brings rain.
