May 25, 20205 yr We need more airplanes flying to pick up data points. I don’t think any of the models picked up a line like this.

May 25, 20205 yr Power returned for approx. 8 minutes & is out again.Current time is 0021 on Monday.I needs me some AC & a muddafuggin' fan!Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
May 25, 20205 yr greenbelt is going to be raging. get ready for a few dumbasses to drown in the next day or two. happens every couple years.
May 25, 20205 yr So today will be like this: Most of the waking day - hit/miss showers, breaks of sun, cooler (highs in low-mid 80's today), humid. Late late night (later than last night) storms firing up west of us come through again. This time the trigger is a mild cool front that'll sag down after midnight and provide needed lift. Chances good for scattered heavy rain, severe storms, for most of us not that but another definite rain event. While we're at it: Tuesday again a repeat of Monday, with late night/early morning potent storms heading in. I suspect much outdoor stuff can be done today, but as usual for Memorial Day around here (did you get that? Good.) keep radar/communication handy after noon, when diurnal heating can cause - well, can cause what it caused yesterday. About half of the reported rain sites within a 30 mile radius of Austin have totals in 24 hours that exceeded even the "wet" models' predictions. So yeah, it rained in Austin, and often does. Also the NWS forecasts were pretty accurate - no one was calling for more than a 30% chance of rain, and hadn't for the previous 36 hours when the models were updated, before Sunday afternoon. It really wasn't supposed to rain much until Sunday afternoon/evening. Spot.On. Good work to those guys. Looks like though Round Rock and N/NE of Austin got kind of a donut hole, not much rain relatively speaking (.50" avg.). Don't worry, you got a good shot tonight. The rest of the week is hit/miss - that cutoff low looks now to be parked more east in Texas, which means Austin will be on the "dryer" side. Of course at this point it doesn't much matter, we got the rain, but even being on the drier side, we can still get rounds like we had last night. This extends at least into Wednesday, and even lingers almost to next weekend. May rain totals in Austin are now almost double average, and rain is our wettest month of the year. Have a nice, dry day. Watch out for your cornholes tonight.
May 25, 20205 yr Power was hit & miss last night, finished off the dishes via Milwaukee power.We headed to Austin for overnight AC.Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
May 25, 20205 yr this video shot off the Hwy 84 bridge Saturday evening between Post and Snyder, it the Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos (usually a dried up stream) that feeds lake Alan Henry (Justiceburg Tx). Needless to say Lake Alan Henry is 2' into its flood plain. Next Lake down the river is Possum Kingdom I believe
May 25, 20205 yr Cross post from the pictures thread. Pano before the storm from South Austin a bit ago.

There was softball size hail all over town. Many instances of cantaloupe size hail all over town. The house in the news story above wasn't the only house that had a piece of hail go completely through the roof but that was all at houses that are already shitty. Researchers from multiple universities and even NASA have been around town this morning asking for any hail from the storm last night that was saved/frozen. Sounds and looks like we had a hail storm for the record books. I haven’t been back there since I graduated high school...and have even more reasons to stay away forever. Why the hell do you live there...boomtown babes stay the same age?

May 26, 20205 yr Coming down hard in 77382, some thunder and lightning. Looks like it’ll be a 2-3 hour long soaker. Edited May 26, 20205 yr by Heisenberg
May 26, 20205 yr This thing coming in from the west Looks like it’s about to deep dick the lake area before it heads downtown.

May 26, 20205 yr This little thing will slip thru some of Austin. Then, as forecast, the low has moved up to the NE in Texas, putting us at only a low-moderate risk of rain each day, mostly in the afternoons when heating builds up storms. Maybe a few showers this week here/there thru Friday, then rain goes away. Bye.
May 26, 20205 yr Well that was a good hard rain, but not as bad as I thought when I started seeing hail alerts. Good soaking, but no ROFLBOX.
May 26, 20205 yr I feel like an invisible storm passed over. Lost power a couple times this afternoon. There was stuff on the radar and distant thunder, but it was still mostly sunny. Very weird.

May 26, 20205 yr Author There is a decent chance for hail and maybe a tornado over a good part of Central Texas tomorrow. ..Central Texas... Weak low pressure development is expected to occur over the Texas South Plains area early Wednesday and then drift eastward into central Texas with time, as a lobe of vorticity -- and associated mid-level speed max -- rotate southeastward around the upper low. As this occurs, low-level flow will turn southerly across roughly the southern half of Texas, with a weakly baroclinic convergence zone expected to evolve in a west-northwest to east-southeast orientation across central Texas by afternoon. Northward advection of higher theta-e air at low levels beneath rather steep mid-level lapse rates will combine with daytime heating to yield moderate afternoon destabilization, with mixed-layer CAPE climbing into the 2000 to 2500 J/kg range. This will support storm development by mid afternoon near the low and associated convergence zone, as DPVA spreads southeastward across central Texas. Given favorable shear expected to evolve with time (southerly to south-southeasterly low-level winds veering/increasing to 50-plus kt from the northwest at mid levels), storms should quickly organize/acquire rotation. As such -- and aided by the increasingly unstable environment -- very large hail will be possible with the initial supercellular storm development, along with risk for locally damaging winds and a couple of tornadoes. With time, some upscale growth of storms is possible, into a mix of both cellular and banded modes. Damaging wind potential may increase into early evening with some potential for southeastward propagation of convective bands, before the activity peaks, and then begins to diminish, into the evening hours.

May 26, 20205 yr That first map reminds me, when I get home tonight I need to take an avocado out of the fridge to let it soften up a little.

May 26, 20205 yr Sky Diamonds. These motherfuckers. I am going to kick the next roofer I see not named ROFLBOX in the nuts.

Seriously; they run videos as "motivational speakers" while running powerboats up & down lakes or the intracoastal, floating in a swimming pool with a tiny umbrella drink, etc. I personally don't like hail as it brings a lot of storm chasers to the area & some of them like it here well enough to stick around thereby bringing competition. High wind tends to damage far fewer houses in overall volume & it isn't as easily argued vs. "is that damaging hail or is it simply SOME hail? Is it widespread across this roof?".
