July 22, 20241 yr 2 minutes ago, Blotto said: If it going to miss, better that it misses west rather than east. True. But all the rain went into the Buchanan watershed while very little fell in the Travis watershed. Forecast went from 1.5 inches this morning down to about a quarter of an inch for Austin. Although it looks like another round is supposed to come later tonight, so fingers crossed...
July 22, 20241 yr Forecast totals have trended the wrong direction for the week. Looks to be more of a coastal/SETX event. Hill Country and 35 corridor should still get 1-2” through Friday. Edited July 22, 20241 yr by Wilcox Cummingtonite
July 22, 20241 yr Forcefield activated strong just now. Clouds were darkening, pressure dropping, and wind getting weird. Now sun is out, humid as balls, and just a steady 5mph breeze. tomorrow looking like a similar fate. I'm happy we get 2" between now and Saturday as modeled. But shit, we got 2" in 90 minutes last Thursday. Overall, hadn't been a bad July like last few years. But we ain't even at the turn for the back half of Summer yet for another two weeks.
July 22, 20241 yr So our sewage line apparently busted and clogged up late last night and can only be cleared through the clear out line from the roof which of course the plumber won't do because it's the only rain that we've ever had in Texas in late July. It's officially never going to stop raining, so I hope y'all are happy with my sacrifice.

July 23, 20241 yr Damn, for once it didn’t. At least at Comal/Bexar line. And this was after about 15 minutes of heavy shiite IMG_0092.MOV
July 23, 20241 yr Hardest rain I’ve ever seen near 46/3009 1.4” in 30 min Edited July 23, 20241 yr by Wilcox Cummingtonite
July 23, 20241 yr I haven't gotten a drop. Watching a nice lightning show as it passes over wilcox's house on the other side of town.
July 23, 20241 yr I haven't gotten a drop. Watching a nice lightning show as it passes over wilcox's house on the other side of town. Highest our pool has ever been near 46 and 281. 2 hours of a gully washer.Edit: 2 cars trapped in high water on 46 east if 281.
July 23, 20241 yr I ended up getting 2.4”. Looks like some places west and north of me got nearly 5”. Hopefully all of this brings Canyon up some- most probably ran off pretty quick so I’d think it would.

July 23, 20241 yr Damn good storm in San Marcos. The gods were angry. Looks like another forming out near NB/Canyon.
July 23, 20241 yr Rain on the roof outside my bedroom in July is not a sound I am used to. Nor is the high of 84 tomorrow.
July 23, 20241 yr not gonna bitch too much. We've gotten plenty of rain - my grass is lush... just annoying watching a storm pass by my hood like 2 miles away and not a drop.
July 23, 20241 yr Flash flooding out north of Medina Lake. 6.5” of rain in 3 hours near Pipe Creek. Should help fill up the lake. Edited July 23, 20241 yr by Wilcox Cummingtonite

July 23, 20241 yr Absolute prodigious amounts of rainfall along the upper Llano River watershed, with Johnson Fork of the Llano now running at 28K cfs. And it is still coming down out there, all along the Llano. We're going to see some wild streamflows along that river by the end of the day heading down to Lake LBJ.

July 23, 20241 yr Nice to open the window and listen the rain last night in SW Austin Llano watershed looking fine...
July 23, 20241 yr Freddyburg been getting bombarded for about 10 hours straight. Just crazy dump of rain, right on the worst drought stricken part of the state
July 23, 20241 yr If that gate on the llano is accurate that should be a good injection into Travis in the next 24 hours.
July 23, 20241 yr It is accurate. I saw some photos posted on FB from the sheriff showing the Johnson Fork. Holy shit it is high. Pretty sure I cant get to my ranch if I wanted to and it looks like we are at 10+ inches of rain in 48 hours out there. Crazy turn of events.

Yeah--it's now up over 60k cfs, and there's no sign that the rain is going to stop over the next couple hours. For the moment, it looks like it may be intensifying a bit right there over Rocksprings.

July 23, 20241 yr That huge mass can keep raining out West, we'll take this stuff from the south instead.
July 23, 20241 yr I've got a huge mass your mom can take from the south. Or something. Either way, it's wet down here. Real wet.
