Getting in some nice sustained lazy rainfall currently. Nothing crazy or loud. Just a nice showering

We've had a nice stretch of rain. Just waiting to see when this streak ends and hell starts...

Poured at my house in Rockwall all day yesterday. FOX4 had our total at 5.99". I believe it.

Lazy rain so far here in McKinney. Didn't even notice it until I stepped outside to grab something.

Was south of DFW a little after 5 and that was the heaviest rain I've seen in a while.

Cleburne got an inch of rain (per my gauge) in 30 minutes, along with some small hail.

All it means to me is I don't have to hand water tomatoes/cucumber/zucchini/peppers for another couple days.

Yep. Some good thunder, too. Was packing up the kid to head to Baseball practice, and the skies opened up. In the span of 10 minutes we went from confirming practice is on to being cancelled

We had close to 2 inches fall in 30 minutes in Arlington.

The maximum rainfall intensity that storm water systems have to be designed to in the DFW area is 4 inches per hour. So that 30 minute span was right at the max ever expected rainfall intensity.

Forecasts for the next 7 days have rain everyday. How likely is that? Seems this has been a reoccurring trend lately that hasn't really panned out.

Have a two day golf tournament this weekend so I really hope the forecast is wrong or rain is very scattered

Has kind of felt like we are living in Houston the past two weeks. Really odd.

Had no idea about that... Seems like an arbitrary number but I'm assuming a bunch of smart folks came up with 4 inches for a reason
