Yeah, this one was kind of a bust, even for Austin predictions. However, the best case scenario really only called for 1/2" avg. Still a slight chance that the second Little Wave will produce some rain tonight but I wouldn't count on it.

And yes, we got about 1/10" at the Cave. Where it always rains.

Here’s one that fell in my yard in Brushy Creek (78717)...

Do I need to come & get on top of you again?


*your roof.

I will already be up near 183 & Spicewood Springs. Call or text, my Shag² alerts get buried.

My 13yo dog kept trying to shove past me to go outside.  We had to have a conversation:

Me: ”Girl don’t go out there, it’s dangerous”

Bindi: ”I must investigate this disturbance”

M-”There’s fucking golf balls of ice falling from the sky...stop pushing me you big bitch”

B-”I will defeat this enemy, move aside citizen”

M-“No!  Cant you hear all those crashes?  Imagine that hitting your thick skull!”

B-“My advanced age has rendered me deaf as a stone wall, but now I hear no evil and will engage the enemy with fearless energy and my four remaining teeth”

M-“You’re fucking dumb”

B-“I’ve seen you masturbate”

M-“Ok fine, go out there”

Of all the weather phenomena big, big chunks of ice falling from the sky at high rates of speed amaze me the most.

Round rock knows.

So is there a chance of some hail in NW Austin today? I was very lucky yesterday. With my automobile.

Aaaaand, that would be me.

Responded.  Send a text-a-mundo via the included instructions, GoodSir.  Well within our range... I have done Dallas, San Antonio, Hoo-sten...

Not mine. KXAN.

All modes of severe weather possible in Texas tomorrow and into tomorrow night.

Any chance of hail? I'd like to go for the hat trick with my truck.

I'll post more tomorrow, but yeah, good chance of localized hail.  I.e. someone's gonna get the short straw, but as usual, rather narrow path.

However it'll come in about dinnertime and be out within the hour from any given area.  Not a long event.

The title of my sex tape.

Long Track Trail of Destruction.  The title of your mom's sex tape    

Hey!  Almost forgot!  That March 25th Almost Annual Weirdly On That Day 4 Times In the Past 20 Years hailstorm slid through right on top of phd jr.'s 2012 Cali Special!  He's in a house for a year w/o a garage as he finishes up UT this year.  Got it assessed today and boingo!  Only $4K to fix!  Insurance will cover it.

So I've paid my dues.  It's not going to hail in Bee Cave tomorrow night.  Metaphysical certitude.

What about North Austin? Last week I got the golf ball size shit. 

Unpossible to know where the hail is going to be, and equally unpossible to know until the line of storms actually forms.  That's why they do those big splotches over half of Texas that looks like Mrs. French's kindergarten class drew them.  Because we - just - don't - know.

I'll know better about 1-2 p.m. tomorrow - maybe - or at least how rough it might get.

Beyond, that, you'll have to ask the Cloak Room, because those assholes know everything.

They do. They also neg posters like they have tourettes syndrome. I mean I NEVER neg anyone or even post much in the CR. I’m not down there stirring up shit and trying to start fights. 
 I don’t attack people and threaten to ram things up their asses. But if you post one thing they don’t like or maybe your post had the right intent just expressed poorly they will nuke bomb your post like a possessed person.

We usually get the heavy winds and lightning. But after last week will be worried about the hail.

Eat more fiber.

So it looks like there are two rounds to look out for tomorrow. The first is less likely around noon. The second is more likely, around 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. both should be fairly quick through.

I just hope we get something (rain) significant enough to wash some of this fucking pollen off of roads, grass, trees, etc.

By I assume the forcefield over my house will be in full effect.

Here is the latest from the SPC.

Alright, my breakfast post.  Not much really at this point.

The first wave will get going about 10-11 (start looking out west for the rain).  That line won't really be very organized and the rain area should actually be very scattered.  But because it is, storms can pop up and rotate, which helps to make hail (and tornadoes, though in this case I don't think the energy is there - at least on the west side of I-35).  Anything that hits will do so at and somewhat after lunch.

A 2-3 hour break, then the more intense line forms and marches through ATX about 5-7.  It'll be quick and any severe weather for us will be scattered, as is usually the case - like somewhere in Buda gets it, and maybe somewhere between Leander and Jollyville or whatever.  Most of the threat is high wind and hail.

The forecast areas seem to be rougher E-NE of us, into far E Texas and LA.  That's where the storm really brings in more warm Gulf air.  Of course depending on how much sun, how warm, etc. it gets today for us.  This is a pretty textbook severe setup, although again the worst should be E and N of us.  But plenty of stuff - warm Gulf air, a fairly strong low coming more or less at us (not going way north of us) that will cause lift/turbulence, and a pronounced dry line that's about to leave the TX/NM border and march across the state.  What might spare us is we're not in the part that's supposed to be the roughest lift/storm intensity.  But of course we're way inside the possible area for at least a scattered few of these.

Keep an eye on the line and your garage - in these cases like .25-.75% of the area could get hail.  Not much - unless you're under it.

Pretty big blob coming up from San Antonio right now, let's see if it holds together.

Dude, the chola has a name, be nice and use it.

Is that thing coming through S.A. it? Or is there more behind it. Trying to see if I can grill steaks on the patio tonight around 7?

 

Dude, the chola has a name, be nice and use it.
I think it's name is La Chingona.

This is the first of the two forecast waves. This one's got some heavy rain but is at this point low-key. As kind of expected. Again as expected, seems like some heavier stuff is developing southeast of Austin and moving away from us.

I'd like to think that the rain has stabilized the atmosphere and kept temperatures down, which should help. And it probably will a little bit.

But severe storm systems don't always behave the way they should. Second wave to start developing within an hour or two west of us, we'll see what happens at dinner time. I'm hoping that whatever does come it will be scattered and quick.

Well, that's when you talk about your day.

The tornado watch that was issued only included East Texas while the I-35 corridor got the severe thunderstorm watch, so that seems like a good thing.

 

 

Lot of thunder in Little Elm but now just a light rain. Nothing heavy up here
