Good rain across the Navasota River in Grimes County

3/10" in N Grimes County. I'm 4 miles east of the river.

Semi steady rain at Carter Creek. I'll take it.

SoCo HEB got a nice little shower

Sigh.

Rain gauge says almost a half inch off Fitch

0.6" in Castlegate.

.84 NE Brazos county

Not a drop here near Lyons (Somerville Lake area). July 28th was the last time we saw rain here, today will mark our 50th consecutive day of being rainless. Interestingly the 9/15/24 article below states "If you think it rains a lot in your city, it's not your imagination. Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin found that 60% of urban areas get more rain than their rural surroundings." After living here for 40 years I believe and have always said the opposite is true for lakes #somervilledome.

I recently (9/5) commented on a post from Max Crawford regarding upcoming weather "If you could order up ANY type of weather right now, what would it be?"
Me: Rain/RAIN/rain. Not a drop here at Lyons/Somerville since late JULY!!!!!
Max Crawford: Man, that's wild. Burleson County in general has gotten the short end of the stick this summer

Dome has had some minor leaks today.

My daughter was going to send an application to OU and I said hell no. No OU, Tech, OSU, or Kansas schools.

.4" just south of campus.

Pretty good light show to the south and southwest tonight.

I have lived through hurricanes and tornados (F3-4). A tornado does not take up as much real estate as does a hurricane. A hit is rare (compared to the land mass total) for a tornado. Hurricanes are large by comparison. A hit is fairly more certain (plus hurricanes have embedded tornados).

A little over 1/3 inch this afternoon in Castlegate. Not much but I'll take it.

less that 1/2 in southwood. It is a good start.

Was nice to see sky water again. All the yellowing plants and yellowing grass will be happy.

Exactly 5 sprinkles.

0.18 30 at Navasota. First measured rain since 9/24

.34" at Carter Lake. Yearly total is 55.38"

My rain gauge hit the "enough to get the concrete wet" mark.

We must have been on the dry side of the lake because our gauges barely got over 2 tenths.

Rain chances dropping over next few days. What a shock.

1.22 overnight 30 at Navasota. Thank you!

3/4" on the SW end of the county

1.5 since yesterday morning off Old Reliance in Bryan. Things already looked greener this morning. Maybe it just washed all the dust off everything.

1" south of Franklin.

1" in Castlegate

1 inch in Southwood. We need one of these soakings a week...
