This site and Storm2k have both been doing that off and on for the past 2-3 weeks now.

I ended up getting 1.85” on Friday. Just had to be patient.

We will have to watch Wednesday for the next chance of rain. Also looks like some severe weather as well.

Another great day yesterday - what a weekend. Bottle it up.

Wednesday and Thursday look stormy - outside chance of severe storms. The humidity is rushing back. Temps will be up and down but seasonable for May.

I saw an article that summers have increased or lengthened by 6 days for every decade. That's 18 days over 30 years, which coincides with my observations. Summers don't seem to start sooner but they sure drag on for extra weeks now vs. when we moved to Texas from Florida!

Just give me days in the low 90’s with daily 30-40% rain chances and I’ll be a happy man.

Both the GFS and Euro are in agreement for good rain chances around here for the next couple weeks. Surprised the WPC doesn’t have more coverage for us in their 7 day QPF totals.

The GFS isn’t too enthused yet, but I did notice that the GEFS is slowly trending wetter.
