April 19, 20241 yr Update for tomorrow: It will probably rain in the evening only, and it won't be much.
April 20, 20241 yr On 4/16/2024 at 12:14 PM, NorthLoop said: So from Georgetown to Waco will flood. Austin will get a few sprinkles. San Marcos will flood. NB will get farted on, and not the wet kind. Sound about right, @Wilcox Cummingtonite? I’ve been watching the forecasted QPF precip totals drop all week…my guess is a broken line of storms along tomorrow’s front that peters out as it moves east then reforms once past us (as per usual). We might get 0.25-0.5”. Everywhere north and east of Austin gets bukkaked as always. In other words, you are spot on sir.
April 20, 20241 yr One hundred percent chance of rain sounds promising, no? Not surprisingly however, latest forecast from Spency has it missing the Highlands almost entirely.
April 20, 20241 yr Short term models look terrible. It might not even rain until 12-1am tonight- just a quick shower or two. North and East of us looks like a deluge.
April 20, 20241 yr Divested daily plans in the deluded hope of a deluge, now doubtlessly denied. D'oh.

Even worse, it’s going to set up east and southeast of us this evening- probably another flood for Houston. Mets of NWS Austin/SA, at some point you gotta admit defeat and realize that forecasting rainfall in our area without sufficient upper air balloon data from eastern Mexico is a total crapshoot. The QPF models are trash until about a day before. Clearly something is going on in the mid levels (prob dry air coming off Mexican highlands) that washes out every system to nothing but clouds and drizzle while areas north and east get bukkake deluxe rainfall.

April 20, 20241 yr Not great but not surprising. UTRWD is currently building one, Ralph Hall, just a stones throw from Bois D'Arc. There are quite a few reservoir projects both conventional and off channel included in the regional water plans from the last cycle. I anticipate we see quite a few going in over the next three decades
April 20, 20241 yr Radar is looking better. Starting to proper rain in areas on the city. That rain up north is slowly moving down this way, and storms south are migrating north to us. We may actually get something! Or I may be smoking the bad weed today.

April 21, 20241 yr 1 minute ago, atomheartbevo said: Not perfect, but didn't just blow through either. Lot of noise, very little heavy stuff. Enough to fill up rain buckets.
April 21, 20241 yr Might be a little extra fluff after this main bit. San Antonio is getting hail again.
April 26, 20241 yr I think almost all of Waco Surly lives in the suburbs of the south side, but this storm seems like it had a long track. Also from the airport Edited April 26, 20241 yr by SimonBolivar
April 26, 20241 yr Wow. Thanks for posting. In Hewitt just a sprinkle. I did get an update from Midway that my kids were sheltering in place. Hopefully we get some this evening.

Hopefully we get some this evening. My wife is a teacher at WISD that was far from the China Spring area but they still had to shelter in place when the sirens went off and she had kids telling her, "If I die tell my parents that I loved them." Kids today are so much more aware of their mortality than I was as a 2nd grader.

More likely to punch their teacher in the face in 30 minutes than pull out a top-of-the-line phone at her school, but hey no student loan payments after however many years for my wife so totally worth it. /s

April 26, 20241 yr I'm assuming this storm that has been sitting over San Saba County for an hour and is still moving incredibly slowly is a good thing for y'alls lakes?

Sadly, no. I mean, any rain is better than nothing, but this won't make even a tiny dent in the lakes. It would have to be roughly 10x this amount, across an area about 10x wider, and over 10x as many days, to move the needle on the lakes. Unfortunately, not really exaggerating there.
April 27, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, Wilcox Cummingtonite said: It’s never going to rain south of Temple again. It’ll rain next weekend because I’m going camping then, but you don’t need to thank me.

I canceled a backpacking trip to Colorado bend today so it god damn get lit up tonight and tomorrow morning. This is 3 out of the last 4 years I’ve been rained out in April at Colorado Bend. Getting a little tired of it.

April 28, 20241 yr Not a chance that line out west holds together overnight. Outflow boundary will kill it off right as it looks promising later on.
