Got my fertilizer spreader out of the barn 3 days ago because they’ve said 60% plus chance every day. Clears off by 8:30 every morning.

The Blutarski of precipitation?

That mother effer just hopped over Austin like a frog jumping from one bank of a stream to t'other.

That is truly the most amazing example of the Force Field I have ever seen.  Wow.

weather.com says 99% chance of rain tomorrow in Austin.  

which means:

KXAN had 80%/90% for Thursday/Friday. Now it's 80%/70%.

NOAA precip forecast is still holding steady:

Almost got some rain in the sw good lightning

Loud and bright right now as to wake my old ass up too early.  But no rain as of yet.  Just turned the sprinkler system on earlier this week so y’all can thank me later.  

Woo! Got 0.08" so far today. It's almost slightly damp underneath the trees. 

Past 48 hours:

Rain stopped by 6:15 or so in our area, and then as we are getting the kids ready for school close to 7am, it starts pouring.  Pours on us going to car, getting out of car and going into school.  Get the kids in school by the first tardy bell at 7:35 and by 7:40 it changes from medium/heavy rain to drizzle.

Negative, that's the past 48 hours hydromet. I've been more fortunate than those poor souls out there. 

Also, the KXAN radar colors are bullshit. Misting shouldn't be a dark green on the radar and just a step below yellow.

Neighbor's rain gauge in SW Austin is online and showing 1.78" ... of rain

 

1.76" at Bull Creek & 360.

I am gruntled.  All 1.76" of gruntled.

Spoiler

 

Leaving your wife feeling 6.24” of disgruntled?   
 

I am excited to see our lawn when I get home.  But don’t want to jinx it.  The rain has been complete off and on in central Austin but when it rains, it has been thick, hearty drops.  Like a Peter North album

Rain is good, but can we please get some heavy shit in the highland lakes recharge zone. fuck.

1.78" since midnight and 1.93" in the last 48 hours. 78750, Bull Creek area.

Same around these parts. Hell, had issues with the yard flooding some. For the first time in a while, actually looks like the forecasts might have underestimated things.

Welp, ended up with more than 2.5".

Credit where credit is due. This forecast was spot on.

KXAN saying nastiness is likely early this evening, with hail as large as basketballs. Or maybe they said egg-sized.

Either way, PSA. 

Yeah, I heard egg-sized.  I'm assuming this outdoor concert ain't happening tonight then.

I have to pick my kids up from school at 3:15, so it's going to be 50mph winds and golf ball-sized hail around 3pm.

According to the NWS, the main threat from this system will be large hail. Straight line winds and possibly an isolated tornado can’t be ruled out, but hail is the significant worry tonight. I’d make sure your cars are in the garage tonight.

Question -- 

Have an old roof that needs replacing. Do I cheer hail or no? 

To be honest after drought, ice storm, 102-degree months, I'm really worn out.

Depends on your deductible.
