What kinda rain we gettin in Hill Country .Looks positive on radar..Hopefully get some in those In Colorado/Guadalupe/ watershed..and all the other Dried up Places..Here at home near Bay City only a few drops/nothing measurable..75deg as of 0827

Of course this isn't the Hill Country here, but I got curious on how the rain was going to affect my local lake, Pat Cleburne. There's a low water crossing on the Nolan River above the lake at County Road 1126. That county road is a good judge on how a rain is going to affect Lake Pat Cleburne. Unfortunately, the water wasn't even going under the road as of about 1 am, and a rain normally won't affect Pat Cleburne that much unless water is going above that low water crossing to the point that you can't drive over the bridge. The further south you go, the less rain people got for the most part. So I don't expect it to help the Hill Country much either. I wish it would though. I love the Colorado River down there. Maybe next time. One good thing for the Colorado River though. Unlike my local Brazos River, there are a lot more miles between lakes above the Highland Lakes. That being said, Lake Buchanan has a lot more opportunity for runoff than other lakes if we have a rainy season as expected this winter, and a lot of that runoff will be released out the Buchanan dam, then the Inks Lake dam, and so on. Hopefully we get a lot more rain over the next six months.
