Special Weather Statement for 10-12 to 10-15

West Central Texas Lakes at Twin Buttes Reservoir

The National Weather Service in San Angelo issued the following weather statement:

A POTENTIALLY HEAVY RAINFALL EVENT IS POSSIBLE ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS FROM SATURDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...

THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL TO DEVELOP ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS BEGINNING SATURDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUING THROUGH TUESDAY. WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES ARE EXPECTED WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE.
Is the City prepared to move Gajeske's pumps?  A runoff event like September 2012 would put them underwater.   Pray for a big rain, huge runoff and a prepared City Water Department. 

Update 10-12-13:  The event shifted slightly with heavier rains expected Sunday through Wednesday.  A four day rain event could be an incredible blessing for our parched lakes.
