1/4" yesterday afternoon! Trace this morning. Looks like more headed this way. Cooler temps too! Currently 78! High here yesterday only 92!
And to top it off got flash flood alert about 5 minutes ago!
I'll take what we can get!

Yep, about 1 1\2" so far in Central Austin. Nice slow rain for hours. Radar looked good out your way, B.

No measurable rain at my house since early June. Only an official trace at the airport. Wet season doesn't really start until October around here. If it weren't for the lightning and wildfires, I'd sure like to see some storms roll through.

All around us here, but only hitting the home place just enough to dimple the dust on the vehicles. Still, it's nice to sit on the porch just after sundown and watch the lightning shows and see the rain falling on the ranches surrounding us. Even nicer to see the green-up on those ranches!

Had 4 5/8 inches here over the last two days. Had several showers prior in July. Not sure of the total for the month. Average for July here is 1 7/8 inches. Going into August greener than I can ever remember. GW

We have 96 now and a promise of some showers later in the day.
They have been wrong before.

We got almost 2.5" Saturday and another shower this afternoon. Haven't looked at the gauge yet, so I dont know how much.
Good part is 80% chance tonight and 90% tomorrow.

Since around the middle of June we had .05" or so - until Sunday evening.
We got .45 - .60" on the close end of the place.
Dunno about the far end, as I haven't been down there since Sun noonish

I'll take what we can get! We used to set on the porch and watch it rain. Being dry land cotton farmers my dad used to say " see that boys.... thats money falling from the sky". In the end there wasn't enough money falling from the sky for all us boys to stick around so I found my way to the oil field and never looked back!

Most of the corn around here is dead or really stunted. We had rain, but it ain't bringing back the corn here. Crop insurance will be writing checks.
Probably bad for deer mast.

The last day we had over 0.10" was May 21. Since then, we had a few brief showers that totaled 0.04" inches or so each time - measurable but insignificant. Forecasters say we might see a cloud this weekend, just to remind us what they look like.

Life is good at Frog Level! We got our name honestly. As I mentioned earlier, it rained some late yesterday afternoon (didn't check the gauge), and we got another good rain last night. Poured out 3.2" this morning. The frogs are singing!

3.2" last evening and another .3" this afternoon. Today's rain was a slow, steady rain, soaking in.
Plants are already starting to show the effects.
