I’ve been noticing this the past few days on the models. Last nights 0z run of the GFS looked great and then woke up this morning to crickets on the 6z GFS lol

12z GFS looks very wet with training along the I-10 corridor through Louisiana.

Less than a quarter inch through all 3 days of this so far. What a joke.

Not much on the Euro. GFS looks much better and even then the GFS only has about an inch of rain for areas south of 10 for the next two weeks.

We got about half an inch here. At my job in Rosenberg though they probably got about 2”.

Is this rain evaporating before hitting the ground? Doesnt seem to be much falling compared to radar.

May's gonna suck, but a beautiful week ahead, then showers on Friday.

Got about 1/2 inch out of the last front. The hail's done a number though on my rain gauge. Time for a new one!

We better get some rain and storms in May or else we’ll probably be in for a long dry hot summer.

I don’t remember (because last April was so weird/Covid, etc), but was it this cool, this late in April last year?
