rain

For decades, ranchers have sworn by the saying, "When cows lie down, rain is coming." While some see it as folklore, others believe it’s grounded in observation. But is there science behind the belief that cows can predict rain?

In 1891, Robert St. George Dyrenforth attempted to make it rain in West Texas by detonating explosives in the sky. Though his efforts were unsuccessful, they highlight the innovative—and sometimes eccentric—approaches to weather modification in the face of drought.

Think you know the year Midland got the most rain? Find out if you guessed right!

We are all looking forward to fall right? But could it actually be cooler or will it still feel like we're stuck in an oven here in the Lone Star State?

Imagine going to visit a deceased loved one at their final resting place in the cemetery, or going to place some flowers at their gravesite only to discover a muddy, sunken mess. After the torrential rain we have had the last few weeks, that is exactly what some local residents discovered this week at the Ector County Cemetery.

Now that spring is here, it has definitely brought us some April showers. This week for sure, we are expecting rain until this time next week actually. We have at the very least a 20% chance of showers everyday this week and I am here for it! How does the saying go? 'April showers bring May flowers...' Then I better get to planting.

Also, can we have Midkiff road back?

The rain we have had the past two days has been awesome and much needed so thank God for that, however....can we talk potholes in the 4-3-2? I mean I know they are already an issue but the flooding in some areas, the standing water has just made it WORSE! My man and I were driving down 42nd yesterday and when we hit Golder OMG we hit Golder, literally.....a POTHOLE!

The big thing we have been dealing with lately in the 4-3-2 is the weather. It could be a beautiful 80 degree sunny day one minute and the dark clouds roll in and its thundering, lightening and pouring down rain and HAIL the next! Much like we are expecting this afternoon as a matter of fact.
