The recent misty rains didn’t do much around here. The ground is still bone dry so the grass is already shriveling up and some of my shrubs are wilting. Looks pretty hot too!

Getting a little shower with more coming (unless it dissipates). Nice sendoff before the next mini-drought.

Yeah, I knew the 70% chances of rain for tomorrow that had been advertised for a week over here would eventually get yanked. Par for the course. Time to run the sprinklers, again…

Upgraded to Hurricane Francine at 7pm.

By the way, the dew point up here rose from 60 degrees up to 75 from 6am to noon today.

I would not expect any significant shifts in the track going forward. Bad scenario for Louisiana. Only thing holding this one back right now is some dry air entrainment. I’m not expecting much up here other than some outer bands and some breezy winds as it brushes by to the east.

MLC is trekking westward on Brownsville radar.

It’s just crazy that a storm that far south and west, this early in September, is forecast to make landfall east over in Louisiana.

I needed some more this week after barely topping an inch from almost two weeks of “wet” weather. Oh well.

Meanwhile, I’m still sitting at 0.80 inches of rain in my backyard for the past 2 weeks. Yes that’s right, I haven’t accumulated one inch of rain throughout this entire “wet” stretch for the past two weeks. I had the same observation and was going to post the exact same thing. I've have some partin...

Lows temps next week on the iPhone app are a good 6-8 degrees warmer now than they were previously…

Rain all around but just a mist here.

Y’all had a big downpour last week though.

Half an inch…heavier rains missed me

Looked promising earlier, now everything fizzling as it moves inland. Then later today it’ll probably be raining in College Station and Austin but not here….

Just a friendly reminder, this was the WPC from one week ago for 7 days, ending this morning. Nowhere near 4” up here.

No mention in that discussion of the disturbance that was supposed to move down from the northwest and boost rain chances back up to 80% for Wed and Thu this week. That’s apparently off the table now too.

Well, rain chances for next week were 80%, then 70%, then 60%, now down to 40%

So rain chances have been lowered again today to 40%

This keeps happening. They’ll advertise 70, 80, 90% chance of rain and then the day of, they lower it to 40 or 50%

I keep waiting. Nothing but sprinkles since Thursday. The grass under the shade is curled-up dry again, too.

Picked up .61” today.
Plants are happy again.

Finally getting a nice soaking here.

Meanwhile, upstream locations well inland from you up from Palestine to Crockett to Nacagdoches are getting hammered.

David Paul said we were gonna wake-up to a wet and soggy commute
