Looks like a possible tornado is gonna skirt west of me moving NE thru Western Travis and Hays.  No word yet on severity/whether it's a full nado.

What is an "extreme" tornado watch?

It’s like a regular tornado watch but extra spicy and more cheese.

It's a tornado watch that's hopped up on Monster energy drink and Axe body spray fumes.

You know I'm not sure that I'm glad that I moved to Robinson. I took great comfort in knowing that if I went out at least @Trey3216 was going out with me in Hewitt. 

Well hell.  

TV report of no injuries at the Jacksboro HS.

Also damage in Bowie, TX, search and rescue underway.

Can I interest you in some flash flood shooters, some hail poppers, or some extreme tornadoes?

Downtown Austin....and at least per my weather app, rain chances keep dwindling.  Down to 40%.

Seeming more likely that for Austin, this will be another big nothing.

You should throw out that app.

Meanwhile, Jim Spencer is out by the West Travis storm, says tornadic activity is developing.  Should miss me (whew!) but wlll tag Briarcliff and West Lakeway.  Even if not tornado very very strong winds and hail.

Well, I mean, it's the Wish.com weather app, so......yeah.

Downtown and just settling in till this passes, hoping we don't lose power at the office.

Twc just zoomed in on a cell over lakeway and tried to see a hook on it. Headed NE so path would be lago vista cedar park gtownish. 

Texas Storm Chasers has a live feed going on Facebook. The dude knows his shit.

IIRC, Lakeway and Helotes were the 2 southernmost F4 tornadoes in the US since reliable records started in 1950.  Same for Jarrell and F5's.   All the rest were north of a line from near Brownwood-Waco-Shreveport-Vicksburg-east.

Meanwhile, gotdam:

* At 458 PM CDT, a severe thunderstorm was located near Lipan, or 11
  miles west of Granbury, moving northeast at 80 mph.

  HAZARD...60 mph wind gusts and quarter size hail.

Damn.  Might as well just lay back and enjoy it.

Furk. Wife is visiting relatives in Cedar Park.

Tornado warning east of Wimberly, moving towards Southpark Meadows, extreme S Austin, headed for S/E extreme metro parts, Del Valle.

Confirmed tornado, no info on strength, but take cover SE parts of town/county.

Besides this thread where is the best place to tune in for live updates for Austin?

brazzers.com

Wimberley tornado headed for Austin but might veer and strength uncertain.
Another rotation possible future warning around Hudson Bend, headed for Cedar Park.  Take care/ready to cover.

Jacksboro got hit at the high school. No reports yet. Supercells headed for ft worth at 6pm

Wimberley tornado has weakened, but keep watching for hail and strong winds into south Austin and environs.

Don't want to jinx it, but so am I and so far two big storms are straddling me.  However Drip/Bee Cave put into the possible (but less likely) path of the tornadic/hail storm from Wimberley.

I'm at Slughter and Manchaca and am battening down the hatches.... hoping it skirts southeast of me

 

Jim Spencer relegated to the Storm Tracker mobile is so him. Dude "retired" two years ago and I think he's been on the air ever since. Lulz.

At least Moontower will be dead.

West of dripping and the wind picks up then dies down. Same with the rain.

Big ass storm making a bee line for metro area.  Let's see how well-built those new multimillion high rises are.

Austin about to get dry slotted lol

Dry ass SW winds here in SA. We got fucked. At least we got like 0.1” No rain in sight on the forecast. Thanks La Niña.

Edited by Loop 1604

I see this nasty line with not much behind it. Is this shit going to bubble up all night or are we just dealing with this front as far as hail and heavy shit?

Seguin may have just gotten proper fucked, holy shit that radar scan.

After this line, severe threat will be mostly over, although rain could continue into the night here/there.

The Wimberley storm and the Seguin storm straddled us. At one point we were under 2 tornado warnings and the sun was shining.
