WEATHER Due for a solid week of rain
- Thread starter Dennis Olson
- Start date
Checking in from South Central Ky. Yesterday it was calling for 7 straight days of rain. It rained about 20 minutes earlier today. Now Weather Underground is showing no rain for at least 7 days.
We have had mostly wind and rain around here for several years. Ive been cutting grass twice a week. 7 days without rain sounds good at the moment.
I remember long ago complaining to my Uncle about to much rain. He said "soon we will be praying for rain". It came to pass. Never forgot that.

Seeing a lot of hail in the west on radar.
Any truth to that ?

Well, they've increased our rainfall estimates, and we're looking like it's time to consider a boat or life raft or something. We had one May a few years ago that we got 12" of rain and then went into a drought for the rest of the summer. But, that 12" was not in one week. Good grief!

Good LORD, what kind of fertilizer are you using?
None. That’s what it does here in the “wet season.” That’s why I pray it ends quickly each spring.

When I first read this thread I thought man, I would love some rain.
Today while working in the yard it looked a little threatening. I had just got done watering all my plants and boom, nice gentle rain for about an hour. I had all my windows open for the smell of the rain.
Our monsoon season doesn't start for a while and then it's no "nice, gentle rain" it's thunder, lightning, and gully washers with flash floods. That I can do without.

Last night, I checked the forecast for today.
Every hour was forecast for rain.
This morning at 6am, I checked the forecast for today.
No rain until 4PM
I checked the forecast again at 7:20.
No rain till 10 PM
And we are down from 10 straight days of rain to 4 more days.
From what I can tell, you still can't rely on the weatherman.

Still only the one brief t-storm yesterday. Now supposed to rain this afternoon. At this point I’m not holding my breath.

Heavy rain threat brings flood concerns to the Brazos Valley this week
Localized rain totals of 8″ to 10″ or more are possible by Thursday

BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - An extremely active and unsettled weather pattern is underway across Texas and the Brazos Valley. Daily rounds of rain and thunderstorms are expected locally, with the heaviest rainfall bringing a potential to dump multiple inches of rain Wednesday and Thursday.
The National Weather Service has issued a FLASH FLOOD WATCH for Milam, Robertson, and Leon Counties until 7 am Wednesday. They say 3″ to 6″ of rain are possible anywhere from the Red River to the Northern Brazos Valley, with localized 8″ totals possible. More local counties are expected to fall under the same watch sometime later in the week.
MONDAY: Monday’s rain and storm chance boils down to how well activity holds together in other parts of North and Northwest Texas. The highest chance for wet weather arrives between lunchtime and mid-to-late afternoon. Isolated strong storms with high wind and small hail are not ruled out. New Rainfall: 0.00″ to 0.50″, localized 1″+

TUESDAY: Multiple opportunities for rain are possible through the day as other storms in different parts of Texas steadily fall apart on their journey east. The more anticipated chance for storms arrives through the afternoon. Strong-to-severe storms are possible; brief flooding, damaging wind gusts, hail up to pocket-change size, and brief, spin-up / tornado concerns would be possible. Current timing 3pm (west) to 7pm (northeast) New Rainfall: 0.50″ to 1.25″, localized 1″ - 2″
WEDNESDAY: Multiple complex and clusters of storms are possible during the day. Heavy rain creating street and low-lying flood concerns and damaging wind gusts are the main concerns from sunrise to sunset. New Rainfall: 4″ - 7″, localized higher amounts
THURSDAY: The Brazos Valley will be wedged between two weather features: an area of low pressure over South Texas and high pressure over the Southeastern United States. Together, that would turn on a fire-hose of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico running straight north-to-south either in or near our area. New Rainfall: 1″ -3″, localized higher amounts
Daily rounds of rain and thunderstorms are anticipated this week. Heaviest rainfall is likely to come Wednesday and Thursday(KBTX)
FRIDAY - WEEKEND: Scattered rain and thunderstorms remain in the forecast, although the coverage should be lower day-to-day. Any new and additional rainfall will need to be monitored if it falls over areas of previous or ongoing flooding from the week’s rainfall.
Initially, Monday and Tuesday’s water concerns would most likely short-fused and contained to minor street flooding along with creeks, streams, and drainage areas. As rainfall piles and the heaviest potential unfolds, that concern will extent to property, field, and rivers -- specifically the Navasota and Trinity Rivers -- starting Wednesday.

Had golf ball hail yesterday. Today they are talking baseball sized (Texas Panhandle).
Just finished about an hour’s worth.

Pride comes before the fall.....Pride month ended.
I noticed the clouds from bloomington to Champaign ran in-rows. Dense cloud layer, but ran in obvious lines. North to south. Saw it at eight am, and again at five pm. The dimming, by geo engineering watch.org expains it. Gates is behind it. So obvious if one looks up daily. Poisoning folks as they dump nano particles of metal across the nation.Same here.....west central Illinois.
Pretty broad spectrum, there.

Manipulation to further detriment planting ?

All part of weather control I should add. Flood the planting season?

The forecast lengthy rain event never materialized. A dribble here and there over the past week in the Austin area. Allegedly, midday today through Wednesday it’s going to rain fairly steadily. We’ll see. I’m not holding my breath.

Well I posted earlier in this thread about 6 months less than 5”. A week ago today we got an inch. Wed at 430 pm we had a 45 minute storm dropping 3.8” and small hail. Never seen a downpour like this before. As dad would’ve said ( rain like a cow pissing on a flat rock) wow!!

I remember the tax day flood in Houston. My street turned into a creek and the water started creeping up my driveway. There were at least two lesser such floods that same year. Even after the water receded I was blocked from accessing the highway 249 because of standing water covering most access roads. Not a good idea to build a city on bayous.
Especially when you have those annual "500 year floods".

Are you sure about that?
Meridianal flow. The jet stream is moving much more north-south than west-east, as Grand Solar Minimum effects take hold.

In our part of Texas we've been getting daily rain since sometime last week...honestly, can't remember when it started. It's been days of mostly cloudy and rainy. We're still getting rain and a nice, big blog of heavy rain is heading for us now. The ground is squishy, and any bare ground is becoming a mud pit. I hate to complain, because the last May we got a lot of rain a few years ago turned into a nasty drought until fall.
It's been too cool (and wet) for the limited garden we did plant. I'm pretty much set now to just hold our seeds for next year. Given the price increases now and spotty availability of some produce items (and yucky quality), next year could be worse.

Texas’ wind is almost always n-s or s-n. It’s all about geography and that damn blocking high.
The toughest thing for me to get used to after the heat was the weird wind direction.
