WEATHER Due for a solid week of rain

Starting tomorrow afternoon, the central Texas region is due for about seven straight days of rain. So (sigh) yesterday and this morning I cut the grass (again.) Right now, it’s the wettest part of the year here. The grass needs to be cut about every four days. No exaggeration. I waited seven. If I waited another 10 (the week of rain + a dry-out period) it would be too tall to cut.

All these posts about grass cutting and never a before/after pic of said grass for us to critique.

It's getting a little disappointing. :cool:

I have the same forecast up near Tulsa.
I am supposed to have rain gutters hung tomorrow. Forecast is for rain.
Do not see how they are going to hang gutters in the rain.
We got rain this morning but I looked at the weather maps and I am uncertain where this rain is supposed to be coming from. It looks like it should be dry tomorrow.

So, I am watching this proceed.

Counted 14 days of rain in our forecast last night. Some baxter County driveways are already washed out. This will be brutal. So much for may hay crops and expensive lawn plants. Know someone who spent hundreds on plants that are now rotting.

I give up.
I hope it doesn't get too bad. I remember some years ago the floods in TX were so bad that one of my friends from another board was sobbing as she tried to rescue her farm animals. The water was at least waist-high. Terrible time.

:(

We also had a week of rain ahead in E Texas. Hay fields standing in water already. we usually get 2 hay crops if we get one in May and then on the other end of the weather mayhem and we have no spring rains we barely get one cutting.

I have had at least 20 different rain predictions of 40% - 60% over the last 6 weeks.

Which has produced at least 10 different rains - all total close to 1/2 inch - and most of that was last night.

When ask how much rain I got - I answer 2 to 3 thousands.

IMO something VERY strange is going on with the weather.

Dry here in SE MI. Grass is drying up ( refuse to pay the huge water bill to water it). we’re below normal for rain. None really in the forecast for the next 7 days

Sam in my neck of the woods in Louisiana. It could cause some flooding to already rain soaked land and water ways. I hope the people around here that got flooded a few years back learned something from it.

We are pretty high up, so other than the ground being soaked It's not likely to flood right here. We do have a john boat.

God is good all the time

We need rain badly. I just got the air conditioning set up for the year again. Hoping it still works :(

I have come to believe that most weather predictions are made for "the cities.
And when you get a weather forecast, your app goes with the weather forecast for your closest "city".

And since I live west of Tulsa, I get the forecast for all of Tulsa.

Like today, Forcast is for rain all day. It rained this morning. It isn't raining now.
And the "radar" map does not show anything to the west and south.

So, I am going to paint. (which ought to force it to rain)

We're forecasted for a week of rain, also, we're about 2.5 hrs north and east of Austin. It's supposed to start tomorrow, but it's looking like rain now and it's very humid.

Last I saw on the weather forecast was 4" to 6" with localized heavier amounts. We're on high ground, thankfully, but we do have low spots in pastures. Fire ants and snakes will not be happy. The grass and weeds that the cattle don't graze will be a bear to cut.

My ten-day forecast is showing rain starting Monday, which is eight days worth, and I don't know how much past that it will continue. Guess I'll find out one day at a time as the forecast chart moves forward.

We really don't need 4" to 6" right now.....too bad there's not a way to "save" it until August or September!

Well, I have plenty to keep me busy in the greenhouse and at least it's not going to be cold out there during a rain this time of year.

We're in the 8-9 inches of rain in NE Oklahoma. I've been planting seeds and when we get back this evening I have another couple of things to plant.

According to the government last night was the last of the temps in the 40's for this years spring. So tomorrow everything not currently planted in the garden, the warmer temp stuff like sweet potatoes, get planted. So I would be more then happy to have several days of rain next week

Rain forecasted from Sunday thru Friday in SE Okieland. Plays havoc with work on the addition. The creeks and rivers will overflow due to the amount of rain that has previously fallen.

The rain will be generally follow previously patterns from the SW to the NE. The rain is from the Pacific and Gulf of Mexico.

- Rain was forecast yesterday, all day - it rained in the morning. I painted outside after noon.
- Rain was forecast for today, all day - no rain this morning, the guys are hanging gutters. forecast is for rain to start at 3. I will start painting again at noon.

I think it is a Democrat plot to keep liberals indoors.
Don't be a liberal

NO complaining allowed bud, not counting last night(Ojiya town no idea) we have had less than 4” in 6 months. I have native grass that didn’t come back. Going to have to sale the cows soon as the hay will be gone. I was heavy on hay as I feared the spring dry. But dang it’s beyond dry up here.

well, today . . .
the system that is blowing through Kansas and Missouri is a typical storm from the west.
for Texas and Oklahoma, expand your weather radar. The rain is blowing up from the Gulf of Mexico south of the Texas border and running through San Antonio, Austin, DFW.

Not sure yet what it means for OK yet
