April 23, 20214 yr Cow pissing on your moms face here in Cedar Park for a bit. Now calm and the sun even peaked out for a bit.
April 23, 20214 yr The rain most of us had was a severe thunderstorm warning east of us (Bastrop County) with hail and wind. Again, the models are doing a great job so far. Radar is clear now W of us... hopefully lack of sun/a good soaking we had will stabilize the atmosphere a bit and keep the ST threat east of us. But next hour will tell - look for the line to fill in in the usual suspects' places (W of 281).
April 23, 20214 yr School districts canceled activities - we certainly heard enough thunder to make one Leary of hanging out athletic facilities outside.

April 23, 20214 yr No, grain elevator fires are due to combustion/ explosion of the organic fine particulate. The pole fires are caused because the mist adheres to the dust (not heavy enough to wash the dust away) that accumulated and creates a grounding path.
April 23, 20214 yr So far no development out west. I think the rain earlier was a lot more than forecast and it stabilized the atmosphere a bit. But I can't blow it off yet..

April 23, 20214 yr We should be in the clear by 8 or so... Looks like a line is now forming about 100 miles west/NW but kinds moving away from us. That's it. We'll see if it gets bad. Edited April 23, 20214 yr by phdhorn
April 23, 20214 yr ... aaannd I think we're done here. Whether did what I predicted above, atmosphere stabilized so second round is void. Outta here, see ya next threat, which is Tuesday.
April 24, 20214 yr So I killed and ate my neighbors in anticipation of hail induced hysteria for nothing? GFD

I've been on... um... 8 Shag roofs in this last week. Got an adjuster meeting in 4 hours & here I am on the Surl. Rex, if I fall off your house do a fave & put a pillow under my head. Cedar Park, Bertram, Burnet, Georgetown, Round Rock & Derkaville. Had an odd one, roofing saleshole signs in many, many yards all up & down his street but only 2 or 3 scattered shots (3 in the Cat Hollow area that DID have hail damage, his? Not really).

April 27, 20214 yr Just a reminder, when you see “normal” temps for Austin, it’s not a running average of every year like you may expect. NOAA does things a little differently and those temperatures and rainfall amounts are going to look different beginning next month. https://www.kut.org/energy-environment/2021-04-26/hotter-stormier-droughtier-what-to-look-for-as-meteorologists-update-normal-weather-for-austin
April 27, 20214 yr So, it's gonna be hotter this summer than usual? Fucking great. What else is new? Let's stop bothering with historical averages. Of the 25 hottest summers on record in Austin, 15 have happened since I moved here 25 years ago. That's kinda fucked up and kinda all I really care about. I see those records in the 1920's and I feel bad for those folks but we're just all kinda wrong right now.

We have to settle for the meteorologists who ply their trade where the streetlights are as broken as the dreams.
April 27, 20214 yr Battle of the weather models. I don't usually cheer for Euro's but in this case I hope it is right.

April 27, 20214 yr And this is what the NWS has forecast through May 5. I really hope that Euro wins out because Lake Buchanan could really use that rain. Where they have the heaviest rain falling for Central Texas is the sweet spot for making its way into the lake. Edited April 27, 20214 yr by Hate
April 27, 20214 yr I don't wanna write much forecast: Tonight: Big storms roll into Hill Country overnight, die out in strength west of us Tues. morning. Just some rain, not a lot. Tomorrow: Not much happening until dinner time, then 2 waves: 1) Early/mid evening greatest chance of severe storms, and it's likely, though scattered. 2) Overnight could be big rain event, but not severe (moved out earlier). Type of thing where local flooding can occur, not widespread. More on that later. And if you know how hot it's gonna be this summer, please contact me. I want some lottery numbers.

Hotter than ass in my shorts. I can cook things in it. Little crotch pot cooking. Fool, it's hot...I told you again. Were you born on the sun? It's damn hot. It's so damn hot, I saw this little guy in orange robes burst into flames. It's gonna be hot and wet. Took me until college to realize he was referring to Buddhist self-immolations. But for some reason, that's the part I laugh at the hardest. In other news, the next 2-3 weekends are the best time to fertilize your lawn in Central Texas. If you go the au natural route. If you use chemical fertilizers, I dunno. Edited April 28, 20214 yr by Lobo

April 28, 20214 yr Leave him alone, he is on a roll and only cares about bee caves. Cuz they always get rain.
