Then he sent me this…in Amarillo!!

August, btw, is the "rainiest" month in Amarillo. July and June are close behind. Nov - Feb is arid/dry season.

I anticipate a more "normal" August, which still means near 100°F and not much rain in the Brazos Valley.

Ground Hog Day: Radar looks suspiciously like the last 2 days. Predicting either a Brazos County block and/or the donut hole again.

It's not raining until the first day of Fall classes.

At least football practice begins this week!

The seabreeze is already hitting the wall this afternoon. Lucy is not even going to tease us.

I've pretty much given up on measurable rain until school begins, and only then by a great flood cause by a tropical system...

DoctorMu it always seems like we go through these long periods of drier/ hotter than normal weather only to have the drought ended by a big flooding event, but yeah the sea breeze definitely wont help us,

Sure enough, Lucy trolls again. 0.00” with lots of thunder nearby.

A cell tantalizingly close (<10 mi away) but sliding to our NE as today's sea breeze has more of a NE trajectory instead of NNW per usual.

No cigar as usual. We can see the rain in the distance, almost taste it...

I know you SE TX folk are needing a bunch of rain, the Smoky Mountains are living up to its name after a nice long thundershower. Fall is just around the corner and fingers crossed cooler air and much needed rainfall comes your way!

3 days this week now with storms less than 2-3 miles away. Dark outside and 30-40 minutes of thunder and it just misses us in Fairfield. 99 seems to be a barrier line. Disappointing to say the least.

Good thing is there looks to be decent chances for rain almost every day this upcoming week. 20-40% chances.
