Y'all can thank me. I just washed my car.

Ha.  I spent two hours cleaning my grill on Saturday.  Covered it up for the night, didn't fasten the cover down.  Midst of the storm, I take a peek to see if cover was still on the grill.  Cover AND Grill were no where in sight.

Storm claimed a bunch of trees, fences and shingles around here - 78640.

I spy something between San Saba and Llano.....

Not what I expected

 

(That's what she said)

Heavy downpour in Cedar Park, 78613.  Finally!

Force field gonna kick in or not?


Is for me...the storm is splitting in 2 right before it hits my location pin.
I’m in South Austin, will probably miss here, but at least we got some over the weekend.



So your South Austin’s mom?

No, she’s wet, I’m dry.  Her vaginal vortex is a black hole, a circle c, pulling all the rain away from South Austin proper.

Yeah I got zero from that storm up here in the CP.  It didn't even materialize until it was already south of me.  Sort of a reverse-force-field for that one.

A yellow and red blob was right on track for me, but it dissipated into an ineffective light shower just when it got here.

These 7 consecutive frames from radar animation should provide your answer.

Fucking Dark Sky tells me the rain is stopping just as it's starting.

Are there a shitload of people in Austin who are just being assholes and making false reports?

Got blasted here in NB. My "day" to run the sprinklers is Friday so this was good timing.

Yesterday's force field was set to extra strong... yellow yellow yellow.... poof... gone!

FF don’t count when it rains three days in a row in most of Austin despite there being a zero percent chance of rain on at least two of those days.  

Take the win for what is historically Austin’s hottest and driest week of the year.

Nawf Dallas got some semi-serious shit brewing.

Coming from the north for once and moving southwest.

Should spell some relief from the heat.

In frisco right now and holy shit the wind is insane and just started raining

So far petering out around central Dallas as it seems wont to do.  Forcefield, activate!

I haven't been paying much attention except to see what the predicted high was going to be but it seems like this is a bit of a surprise.

The leading edge blasted us with quite strong winds in East Plano. But then it weakened when the rain started.

It is raining but not all that strong.

What's this liquid falling from the sky near White Rock Lake? 

Edited by mdmost

No hail or super strong winds in the '225, seems to have passed.

And it's 73!!! 🤘🤘

It's almost to Waco.  Please please hold together.

This whole sumbitch is gonna shift East of us, isn’t it 

Recently completed a total re-roof for Fuggled in Richardson - I'm certain he isn't excited by the prospect of hail again.

Yep.   Looked like it was gonna skirt us to the east again or fall apart before it made it. Hope it holds together long enough to get a good soak.

My radar says to expect rain for the next hour.  Fingers crossed

 

Haven't posted about this latest, because no reason really - it wasn't predicted to reach here and for the most part it didn't.

Somewhat decent chance of rain tho today, at least in parts.  Then after that the high wiggles back on down here and it gets hot again for 4-5 days.

This is the one day of respite.

However looks like the next hot spell will be shorter hopefully (1/2 a week).  We'll see.

For today, keep your rubbers handy, you probably won't use them, but you might.

I was out at our place in Kimble County this weekend.  Saturday, afternoon, we left downtown Junction at 4:40 and it was 106.  Pulled up to the gate of the ranch at 5:00 to a torrential downpour and 69 degrees.  We got a little over a half inch of rain in 30 min then another decent downpour around 8 PM.  It was actually chilly sitting out on the porch.  Total surprise and absolutely awesome and much needed.

Just finished taking garage sale signs down. Now I gotta walk around the house and garage like a trail. 

Damn. Left the patio umbrella up. That was a fun wake up call. 

We needed this one.  My dog just crawled into my lap.  Hilarious

Lots of wind in this one. Patio furniture is all over the yard.

Of course the dog had to go for a walk just now. At least she waited until the big stuff had come down, but man the sky was still a light show.

 

78756 getting one helluva light and sound show.  Woke all of us up and scared  the kids.   

Dog was about to go out the storm blew in and jumped right into bed
