Yup, middle of July and may hit 90 today. We’ve had over 5” of rain this month and a chance for more later. Some places NW of downtown Austin had over 8” yesterday. Too bad that was not in the hill country to fill up the lakes.
Lake Whitney on the Brazos is full. They generate electricity from that lake and they are running full power!!!
Last summer Lake Whitney was the lowest I’ve ever seen it, but it was refilled by just two rain occurrences this year. The Brazos has a very large catch basin, from the base of the high plains out towards Lubbock through the plains north of Abilene into central TX. Lots of groundwater runoff goes into the Brazos.
