Rain in Texas!!!

[Grandpa]

5 inches (no kidding) from 5:30am til 11:00 am. They had to tell me what it was; I'm too young to remember rain Stock tank is full; now if the grass will just come back. My back yard looks a little like a lake.

How wide spread is this rain event?

 

[Kathie in Thorp]

So glad you got precip! I know it's been hard for you -- all of you -- down there.

We got clouds and I heard some thunder but NO rain. Temps ahve been around 84 all day tho and that's nice.

Same here and this is one of our hottest day this summer . :???: Not used to it yet , oh well winter will be here before we know it. :roll:

 

[Millerranch]

We got 2 inches today. Hope it keeps coming!

 

[Jim62]

We could see some clouds waaay off in the distance, mostly north of here. High was only 98, rather than the usual 105. Really felt nice. :nod: :lol2:

We got about 30 minutes of sprinkling. Still not near enough. Where did this 5 inches of rain fall???

I was at a place last evening where I could look east and see one lonly T-Storm and say "that could be over my place".....but it wasn't.....

Past 12 months rainfall is 11.5 inches........( To those who live in arid climates and say they wish they got that much . Turn off the pivots and then we can talk. )

Past 20 months is 32.7 inches........still 6 inches short of an average year.

What rain?

 

[nyiangelo]

YES SIR!!! I picked up 6 1/2 inches over the weekend in town... weve only had 3 1/2 all year.... Thank the Lord but were still going to need a lot more. Out on the range I might have gotten over 1/2 inch, but others in the area were flooding due to run off from the fires earlier this year.... Thank the Lord and send us more!!!

Rain was in my little corner of Erath County, near Dublin.

 

[MadRanchTX]

0.6" at my place on Saturday. Probably to late to do any good but it did knock the dust down some.

 

[spinandslide]

Holy crap, we got rain Friday night into Saturday! Woke up to thunder, wind and lightning..and RAIN hitting my windows..

made for alittle humidty on Saturday, but the cooler temps were WELCOME, espc as we were at a horseshow all day..officially broke our 100 degree streak.

now the skeeters are out though..

 

[JH_cattle_co]

Right at 6" at the ranch in northern Erath co. 4.6" at my house in Stephenville. Filled up most of the smaller tanks, the bigger ones are up to about 40% capacity. I guess my naked rain dance worked....

 

[Angus In Texas]

0.1" here in Bell County on Saturday nothing to write home about. Was pretty much dry before it hit the ground

Moved the farm from San Saba further east to get in the lush fields of South East Texas ten years ago. Two big ponds and a flowing spring. Well now we are the only part of texas that did not receive any rain last weekend, that being east & Southeast. So much hay two years ago I let the local FFA cut and bale the last cutting so they would have plenty for winter . Well that is history and now hoping for a little moisture so that i can put out some rye grass seed. Tried to disc the pasture and it was so dry the rows filled back up by the next morning. hopefully those that received the rain will be able to hang on to their cattle.

Who would have ever thought it. :shock: NOAA just put out we are 42 inches behind, to catch up we would have to get 15 inches a month for the rest of the year.
