Thunder is rumbling, and the skies are growing darker. More is on its way, making it the third day in a row of rain, and four of the last five.

Bring it - just no more hail, please.

    I got my boy out from La Junta. As far as I can tell the whole camp got to high ground well in advance of the bad stuff and watched the camp get obliterated. My son is 8 and they took the younger kids

Gracias.  I didn't connect the dots.  However, I am able to read a hotel sign.

Don't mean to make this thread all about me, me, me, but the NWS's report on that Sunday evening storm I posted photos of has come in:

BIG SPRING, Texas — A powerful storm barreled through Big Spring on Sunday night, causing widespread destruction and prompting the city’s mayor to issue a local disaster declaration.

Winds reached up to 119 mph as the severe thunderstorm struck shortly after a warning was issued around 7:40 p.m., according to the National Weather Service. The storm produced damaging wind gusts and baseball-sized hail, which shattered windows, downed power lines and tore through homes and vehicles across the area.

But that was a long time ago in Austin summer precipitation time.  Now... it's never going to rain in Austin again. :(

TLDR version: to get a meaningful positive change, it's going to take what it almost always takes....a tropical system to meander into the hill country and then park in the right place.

Is Settles run-down these days? It’s probably been a decade or longer, but when I stayed there the owner had dumped a ton of money into it and it was fairly nice.

Other than the recently broken windows, it's not run down in the slightest.

Any of this shit from the west going to make it here? Or is going to split like the Red Sea around Austin again?

That was some of the shield’s best work to date.  
 

I swear, with the exception of two weeks ago, the FF has been getting increasingly stronger.

Watching the radar at about 2am, I was certain I'd get at least 2 inches. 

 

Nope. 1/4 inch. 

 

 

Totals for last night.

Buchanan has come up nearly 5 feet since mid May. The current forecast calls for a few more inches in the watershed over the next week. It sure would be nice to go out there and not have to walk 10 minutes to get to the water.

It’s a long way to drag a body.

The NWS future radar calls for widespread showers and thunderstorms on the Highland Lakes’ basins beginning around 11 this morning. We’ll see.

It got really dark here in Montrose and it’s starting to come down.

Two days over the watershed though… 

stream flow now… totals over 48 hours. Man if we could get 4-5 more over the watershed the next few days that would be HUGE.

kxan showing rain more likely east of the lakes the next two days. not saying no rain out west but not the bullseye we need. we'll see. 

Yeah the rain has been nice, especially in the Buchanan recharge zone, but what we really need is a 5+ inches across a wide swath of the recharge zones, all at once.  With the ground already being saturated and ready for runoff, THAT would be the kind of event to get multiple streamflows up into the 10K-20K cfs range, which is what it takes to move the lakes feet at a time, rather than inches at a time.

Curious to see if Canyon Lake gets any measurable bump. A lot of the rain last night dumped right on top of the upper Guad watershed.

You're wrong.

We'll get massive, flooding rains, starting about 500 yards EAST of the lake recharge zone.

I’m headed to Horseshoe Bay tomorrow for a long weekend so I’m fully expecting it to pour the entire time

Shoal Creek gonna get slaughtered.

And all that water will pass Longhorn dam and head on down the river.
