Nope. I can see lightning in the distance tho. Can't hear any thunder. I think if we get anything at all it will be early tomorrow.

Portastorm Weather Center meteorologists could be found dancing in the streets last night and early this morning as rain fell on the Austin area. The PWC measured 1.35 inches of rain which fell between 12 midnight and 6 a.m. today. Whoo-hoo!!!

We may need a case before this is all over between PWS and SE TX!!
I sure hope we get as much as you guys did!!

[Shoshana]

Yippppeeeee!!! We didn't get nearly as much rain as Portastorm but we'll take anything we can get!!!!

There's not a rain gauge here but I can tell from the pool level.

The ground just soaked up what we got - the grass is wet but the bare spots aren't as muddy as one would expect.

[Portastorm]

I'm also digging these high temps today ... sitting at 87 degrees here at 3 p.m. What a nice change!

Loving the temps in SE TX too. Woke up to 67f and rain and thunder. High today-82.4f. Like you guys we haven't hardly seen lows like that for a while(actually we have been having high 70's to low 80's). That is 12f below our lowest official high this so far this month. So glad we all got something out of this. I fear it will be a while before we see something like this again.

[Shoshana]

I was outside most of the afternoon ... nice

High was 90 today - I enjoyed it!

Some heavy rain for Brownsville and Harlingen.

[richtrav]

Yup we hit the jackpot here in western Cameron County, wouldn't be surprised if we almost made up our deficit for the year, it was that much. Today and one day back in January are responsible for probably close to 95% of this year's total.

Glad you caught a snapshot of that little spin just south of Progreso in MX, it was there for only a few minutes

OK.... who did the rain dance? And why did you wait so long to do it?

Congrats to drought-ridden Texas and LA, some rain at last!!

[Portastorm]

Happy to see you folks in the Valley shared in the rainfall "fun." Here's hoping for more next week!

We've been dancing for weeks!! The drought has been fighting us tooth and toenail, but we finally got through!!! I hope you guys in the valley don't get any flooding from the heavy rain. You need it all to soak in!! We aren't anywhere near breaking our drought here in SE TX but rain 2 days in a road is more than welcome!!

I heard the PWC is considering hiring the "Elders" (since they knew what the liquid items falling from the sky was..LOL) for the summer....any truth to that?

Could be some truth in that ... if we combine the "Elders" with vbhoutex's rain dancers down in H-town ... that could be the winning ticket!

[Shoshana]

There is also the guy who advertised on Craiglist for rain....
