Texas

I'm gonna do something here that I have done in at least a couple years. Cross post from across platforms...... The following is my "time stamp a couple minutes ago CDT":

Texas. Is like southern Michigan when it comes to weather. Wait 15 minutes -- it'll change.

0% forecast of precipitation for today and the last 2-5 days. So we got lulled into a distraction of 95-100° for high & ~70° for lows.

I watched this line develop to the NW of us from ~4-5PM and at 6-ish I saw (for me) the initial lightning. Went to the cool radar app and saw the curtain of cells blossoming up near Wichita Falls & start to head this way.

7-ish the frontal boundary rolled over head and the wind changed which dropped the temp about 10°F in about 3 minutes. What a refreshing feeling.

Our weather vane detected rain started at 7:28 (giggles) & by 7:45 we already had 0.67"
By 8:00 it created 1"
It's now 8:28 and it's still solidly coming down at 1.61" .... Radar looks like we'll see no letting up for at least another hour.

Glad dogs were fed and chickens fed & watered just before the storm wall hit.....

Y'all stay safe & as sane as possible. Please also keep your distances, wearing masks(or like me, bandanas) & them hands washed.

We have been forecast with a 40% chance of rain for the last week now and into the next 7 day forecast. Been a daily 1/2-1.5 inch or so far 5/7 days last week thankfully the drought has broken and no major flooding. The weedeater isn't going to cut it with the 50% of the yard I mowed last week. I now need a scythe.

Well, it's now after midnight.
Currently still raining. 2nd/3rd wave has already passed overhead.
2.67" accumulation this far....
Next wave is closing in on Bowie, Tx via radar app.

Seems my estimation is agreed upon by weather underground's forecast ..... Rain to finish for us about 4AM.....

I'll say we'll see 3+" when it's all done but, I gotta admit that the potential for 4+" is very, very likely given the last 2+ hours of that waves stamina as it's blossomed and rolled south from the panhandle.

Looks like a bumpy night will persist.

Sleep relaxed y'all.
/Steve -out.
