May 18, 20214 yr My gut tells me waves of rain will be manageable in Austin unless your tent is pitched next to Williamson Creek or you decide to drive through some low water crossing. Austin won’t get lucky enough to have all the homeless washed away, but they may at least get a shower.
May 18, 20214 yr 7 to 10 inches is called “Tuesday” in Houston good luck to yall in CenTexSeven to 10 inches of rain in Houston is a disruptive flood event in whatever part of the city gets the bullseye.
May 18, 20214 yr Your mom is a disruptive flood event when she gets 7-10 inches. Edited May 18, 20214 yr by NorthLoop

Not a ton presently, but if it hits a pocket of humidity and lift... I hit your mother's humidity pocket last night Trebek! My mom's deceased, from now on you probably should use my sister.

May 18, 20214 yr Update: The morning shift went by, but the afternoon shift is definitely a'comin'. Has ramped up and heavy rain will be upon us for about 3-4 hours, starting in about an hour. It's gonna rain. Oh yeah. It's gonna rain.

I mean, right now it just looks like a weak line coming at us, with some fun stuff for NB and Kyle.

Don't know if I'd call that big blob coming right at us a "weak line." Where it's passed over so far, it's taking 2+ hours for the heavy stuff to completely pass through

May 18, 20214 yr Shocking, the top piece of that blob was magically clipped off and now it's staying south of us.
May 18, 20214 yr There is a crevasse opening up in the heavy rain & lightning right near us (360/2222). It's the Anderson Lane Forcefield.

The complex is coming into Austin but the heavier more turbulent stuff made a right and once again is going south of town. Forcefield 1 1/2, Rain 1/2, phd 1/4. Edited May 18, 20214 yr by phdhorn

May 18, 20214 yr Yeah I live about 3 miles SW of that black dot. It got really fucking gnarly here for a good 20 minutes.
May 18, 20214 yr I think that's high winds, not a 'nader. San Marcos will get winds > 80 mph. So far, this is doing nothing like forecast. The red blob south of Austin is very nasty, but moving south of town.
May 18, 20214 yr Generally when they do forecast catastrophic weather, it's never as bad as they say. When they forecast %20 chance of rain, then we get rain bombs and major flooding
May 18, 20214 yr Man I swear that red blob was heading straight for Travis, took a decided right hand turn about 80 miles out, then took another left, forming a "Z", and now it's heading NE again - but will miss most of Austin. That was very weird.

May 18, 20214 yr No way this next line splits at the forcefield. Narrator: it's gonna split at the forcefield

May 18, 20214 yr We are getting a pretty good shower here probably about a half inch so far the last 10 minutes but it always rains in Bee Cave.

So far this entire past week has delivered 0.2" to my home in NW TravCo. I'll remain skeptical and leave my automatic sprinklers system on.

Yeah I see them more or less as 0-2 today, but I guess when the bar's set that high we can overlook what would normally be pretty good rain on any given day.
May 18, 20214 yr Started pouring. Storm from the southwest, rain is coming down hard...blowing southwest. Should I be scared of a horizontal tornado?

May 19, 20214 yr It's more than obvious that for today at least, the bullseye moved 50-80 miles south and east of us. We have tomorrow to go yet, but it's starting to look like Al Capone's vault. Nevertheless, it's very tough to pinpoint or the worst rain would be, not sure if they'll ever get that down. Edited May 19, 20214 yr by phdhorn
May 19, 20214 yr Got an email from CFISD that classes may be canceled tomorrow due to the weather. Well goddamnit. Seems like Houston people are starting the flood media machine.
May 19, 20214 yr So far this entire past week has delivered 0.2" to my home in NW TravCo. I'll remain skeptical and leave my automatic sprinklers system on. That thing clogged or under something? I’ve dodged quite a few of these storms and have still got pretty good rain. Even left my rear window down in the car for a day. Got lucky on that one
