Dogs and cats living together or something.

right now in 78757 just a light-ish semi-steady rain.... no biblical shit

Moderate rain & thunder for maybe 30 minutes in Round Rock.

Rain is pretty light now in downtown, and never got to heavy before that. 

South of town, the thunder reminded me of the Summer storms of my childhood, in North Central Texas.

CHIEF Jr.'s sleeping spot on fall evenings when it rains. A few beers, some moonshine, a citronella candle for skeeters, and rain hitting a metal roof.

Some of the best nights' sleep I've ever had, were when it was raining while I was camping in my Airstream.  That's an amazing sound.

You’ll never worry about whether or not she should starts, she just does 

Slow moving blob of green on the radar over everything from Corpus to Jasper. Houston been getting a steady light soaking since before sunrise and it looks to continue for a few more hours.

Friday night games may be impacted.

So basically Waco and BCS will get an inch and the rest of us won't get shit. But they'll cancel 3/4 of the games anyways.

I think they went ahead and moved the Westlake-Johnson game up to tonight in anticipation of weather tomorrow.  Obviously they can't do that for every Friday game, though.

Yeah, they moved a number of games in the area to tonight.  Will still be a good number of them tomorrow.

Well, dammit, DFW is in an enhanced risk area tomorrow.  Seems like the potential for tornados is pretty low.

Any experts want to weigh in? https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day2otlk.html

Saw that this morning.  I don't we can pretty much have severe weather here at any time (recent tornadoes in October and December) but don't recall too many "Enhanced RIsk' situations in freaking November.

They are not that uncommon.  You just didn't have that information at your fingertips as a kid or before you became interested in the weather during the internet age.  There have been 369 recorded tornadoes in Texas during the month of November since 1950.  I'm sure there were many that were not reported during those early years as the were not seen on radar or may have occurred in extremely rural areas with no reported damage.

We're fine y'all 

Austin proper seems to be right on the edge. The model I saw showed a line forming literally over Austin and then hitting points east hard. If you are out in Lakeway, seemed like you may not get a drop. 

The forecasted rainfall seems to confirm:

Latest Discussion outlook brings Austin into the enhanced area.

Local guys are talking potential for isolated supercells out in front of main squall line. Those will suck. Squall line will just be wind event.

You’re right, it’s not gonna do shit in SA or NB per usual.
 

Haven’t even recorded 2022 double digit rainfall total (currently at 9.25”) so far this year at SAT airport. Unreal shit, would be driest year ever recorded if we don’t make it to 10”.

Interesting. My daughter’s basketball team is hosting Belton this evening. I wonder if they’re going to postpone the game. Not the greatest time to be driving down I-35 with a bus full of kids.

They still let the girls play basketball indoors, right?

No, outdoors. And on grass.

Ah a private school sophisticate. In Arlington they play on dirt.

There are about 70 high school marching bands converging on San Antonio today for the Bands of America Super Regional prelim competition.  So, I'm kinda hoping 1604 is right and San Antonio gets nothing.  No offense intended...

I know several bands in LISD are having a hard time getting enough kids. Flu outbreak

To be clear, McCallum High indeed plays indoors. But with the possibility of severe storms later in the Bell County area and the fact that Texans can’t drive for shit in inclement weather, it wouldn’t surprise me if Belton decides the roads might be too dangerous.

Yeah we're Cedar Park High, so far just a couple. They're doing their best to hold out for another 36 hours, then it can all fall apart. :)

In fact I think my daughter actually had it last week and didn't tell anyone, just so she could march at BOA-Waco.

We're at Vista and there's 20 something kids, apparently Leander has 50 or so sick. Now back to the rain discussion

Not much need for rain discussion since we all know it's never going to rain again.

Back in the day, because there was no social media, you could get away with ignoring weather warnings and get the occasional school bus full of kids wiped out without every Karen in the tri-state area hearing about it and losing her shit all over a school district's Facebook page.

Will be interesting to see if the sun breaks through later to really charge things up. Don't see anything near sunshine right now, but plenty of day left.
