Is the rain over for us now. Just had a little shower in 78749 but it feels like the front has come through. Can I open windows without fear of a massive rainstorm?

  • Hello there. So here's the deal:  although I'll be posting much less frequently than before, I want to stop in here to say that I'll try to continue (er, pick back up) posting in here or a few weat

All I know is that I had new sod installed in my backyard yesterday/this morning, and I don't think I've ever timed anything as perfectly in my life. 

Radar looks like shits building up south of us. Could get hairy again before long, but holy shit it feels amazing out right now

Random downpour in 78751 right now.  Ran outside to bring in the deck cushions and dog followed.  He gave me a WTF look and ran back inside.

yeah, down here in manchaca, just had a bit of raining sideways. real downpour.

I washed my car. You’re welcome. 

A solid PM soaker this evening - enough to screw with my plans to sit @ the end of the driveway & hope for some dumbass dove to fly by me & the 12 ga.

It’s dumping in 77389. This cold front is starting out perfectly.

Shit fuck.

We just had another surprise fall tornado warning in Nawf Dallas and surrounding areas.  Canceled before it got to central Dallas, but in view of last year's "festivities," that was a little unnerving.

It got sunny before sundown and most rain or other weather was out of the forecast by 5 pm.  

Phone and TV started going apeshit all of a sudden, sirens in the distance.

I have been having a wretched run of luck this week, so this would have been a perfect capper.

In other news, the Stars just started another win streak. 

FWIW, I think most of the rain with this system is coming in tomorrow morning, not today.  I do believe it'll be widespread but not a lot - I'm thinking an average of 1/3 to 1/2 inch, bulk of it in/out Saturday.  Good chances of scattered downpours, but widespread.

Thanksgiving weather the next 5-6 days - mostly in the 60's, light, here/there freeze possible early next workweek.

Can't wait to watch my kid play soccer 3 games this weekend in a nice sub-60 F drizzle.  Mother Nature couldn't even muster up enough umph to get things canceled.

Oh, that goes without saying.  The competition is Tom Herman, Shaka Smart, and Mike McCarthy.

It's raining in Boerne. First real rain in almost 3 months.

I'm really happy about receiving 1.5 inches.

 

What is something never uttered by South Austin's mom?

Little bit of rain today.

Tiny bit of rain tomorrow.

Big rain Wed night into Thursday.  1-3 inches.  This one's gonna be a soaker.  Slight chance of severe TS's in area, good chance of strong overnight storms.

Cold air moving in Thursday before rain ends, really good chance of snow rain mix, not accumulating until about 40 miles W. of Austin.  Could be a foot out Midland/Lubbock ways, careful if traveling up there.

Rain tapers off Thurs.  Slow warmup begins Jan. 1 through the week.

There y'go.

 

I just need enough rain out here to turn the burn ban off, I've got about 50 million boxes from Christmas that need to get burnt.

When you say not accumulating until 40 miles west of Austin, do you mean it won’t be sticking? Or won’t be falling?

sticking.  It might fall mixed rain/snow in the area but ground's too warm (3 days of 70+° temps), the surface air will be too warm, and it won't last long enough.

 

This isn't our immediate area of course, but this is how close it'll get.

Of course in things like this, the snow line can always crees SEward a bit, so don't rule out snow into Gillespie, Blanco, Burnet, etc.   But not likely to do much.

The air above us will be really cold, way cold enough for snow, but air 500 ft. and below will still be warm, so the snow will usually melt into rain.

One thing though, small chance of freezing rain if the front brings enough shallow cold to freeze the rain in spots.  But this would be spotty and very short lasting.  Still, 31st afternoon into evening, careful driving.  Should mostly end by early New Year's Eve.

I'm driving straight across that area tomorrow, but should be to the NM state line by around 3:00....hoping that means we pass through the weather before it gets really hairy.  Oh well, maybe a little white knuckle time between San Angelo and Brownfield.  Such is life.

Another bad rain prediction.

Never has a place been more aptly named than Brownfield.

Heavy frontal rain passed.  Now a bit of a lull then the main storm approaches from the W.  Digging up lots of Gulf moisture.  Moderate pds. of rain with some heavy patches into almost dawn tomorrow.  

Most rain we'll have gotten in almost six months.  Enjoy it.

In NM now. Went through rain, sometimes heavy, almost to Big Spring, where it turned to snow for maybe 25 miles. Got pretty heavy for a while. Big Spring was probably up to an inch or so by the time we left. Snow ended maybe 5-10 miles after town, and all was dry.

Here in BS, there's probably only about an inch right now, but the local weather guy is saying we should get anither 4"-7" inches tonight. Not sure how we'll be able to take that length.

@phdhorn any guess as to when it starts tapering off tomorrow? afternoon, evening...?

Heaviest rain probably all done by early-mid morning, then light all day with ending in Austin by late afternoon.  That's my guess.

It’s 5:15 and it’s still raining. And actually it just sleeted a bit (35/183 area). So your hyper local forecast leaves a bit to be desired!

 

J/K, thanks for doing what you do. Glad the ‘rona didn’t get you.
