I'm all about the rain, but the hail and wind can fuck right off. Wind? What do you have against wind? I mean, yeah...nobody likes tornadoes. But in general "wind"...? Are you an anti-Aeolian?!? You're an aeolianite, aren't you ?
May 4, 20214 yr Baseball sized hail in the San Antonio and Kendall/Blanco/Comal County storms: https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=ewx&wwa=severe weather statement Meanwhile, further north, dual tornadoes east and south of Grandview. Edited May 4, 20214 yr by clapclapclap
May 4, 20214 yr Yup, we got a popup from SAT that's tracking toward W. Hays and W. Travis. Hopefully it'll weaken as the daytime heat dissipates. I would think the hail event will end soon. Hopefully.

May 4, 20214 yr [quote]Close range tornado video via drone near Yazoo City a few minutes ago! Couldn’t outrun the tornado with drone and was trying to escape as the tornado had caught my vehicle at that point.[/quote] Not my vid.https://fb.watch/5gpgIqTU7K/ Facebook vid - have zero clue if it will post properly, embed, be a good link, whatevs.
May 4, 20214 yr Yeah, kinda died out as expected w/loss of sun/heat. One more possibility later tonight with the front, a line (if any), probably thin with a pocket or two of brief TS's; many won't get squat. Not really a significant rain I think, just some wetness to accompany the front. Then tomorrow nice and cool.

May 4, 20214 yr I had golf ball size hail on the edge of that storm in Boerne. We could hear it coming, almost sounded like a train. 😳 Don't worry Rox. I'm already in a remodel and am scheduled for a new roof, if they can find enough shingles.

May 4, 20214 yr Not that it matters, but it looks like the I-35 tornado passed within a mile of Dale Hansen's estate. Edited May 4, 20214 yr by clapclapclap "Bahbah bahbah bahbah bop bop bop bopbop."

May 4, 20214 yr Supposedly this is in Boerne from Monday. Why won't any of you mo-fo's contact me? Shit... it takes just as long for me to get to @RexWilson or @Homercles house as it does to get down there or the San Antonio area. Ask @Eastwood... we travel.
May 4, 20214 yr Nice hail storm to wake up to in San Marcos. Nothing major, just loud. Was watching my neighbors run out and cover their cars as the storm ended. I laughed.
May 4, 20214 yr Executed another flea flicker. Formed east of the city and moved ass backwards. Storms are learning.
May 4, 20214 yr Some backbuilding but the front is SE of Austin. Storms wont get any farther N/NW of where they are now.

May 5, 20214 yr Well, if you're in Newfoundland, you should appreciate the extremely accurate long-term models. But the rest of us are left asking, "Da Fuh?" Model for the rest of May in Austin looks to be seasonally normal temps (thank god!) and average to above average rainfall. I'll take it. Edited May 5, 20214 yr by Lobo
May 5, 20214 yr Yeah, models are picking up on possible system similar to last week’s in the May 12-16 timeframe.

May 5, 20214 yr Here is a cool image from the recent storms with an article explaining how they formed along a "dry line".

May 10, 20214 yr Forcefield went out a bit west today and said fuck you storms, go mess up Hays and Waco.

That real nasty cell that came from Brady towards FBG just flat out died right before it got to Hays. I could see the thunderhead from my back porch in NB with a nice lightning show while it was 100 miles away then poof, the cloud just disintegrated at sundown.

May 11, 20214 yr Good chance of mostly rainy rain, not damaging rain, between lunch and dinner. Severe could pop up but the risk area is mostly north of us. Don't park it in the garage but have one ready just in the slightest chance... If we're gonna get a heapin' helpin' of hospitable rain, it's gonna be today. Sun into the rest of the week, then cloudy, rainy weekend. The rate it's going, June should be nice at least before hellfire and damnation return for the rest of the summer.= Edited May 11, 20214 yr by phdhorn

May 11, 20214 yr I wish I had some kind of shield on my car or force field. I rearrange the garage so two cars will fit. It just drizzles. I leave my car outside it’s quarter size hail. I park in the garage and golf balls of ice rain from the sky. I’m not doing shit. Lol.
