Came in blowing sideways in the '53, but ten minutes later, and it's a drizzle.

Raining sideways east of Pville. Windows on the back patio are wet all the way at the top and the windows are about 16 feet in. Small hall, lightning like crazy and 40 mph wind gusts.

No power since 10 last night in Brushy Creek. Not expected to be on until 11 tonight, wtf? I'm sure my loud ass harbor freight generator is not impressing any of my neighbors.

Good thing it’s 65 and windy.  Open your windows and stop keeping your neighbors awake

So as I was driving on the big overpass from the toll to 35 in Buda last evening I noticed a huge haze over west central TX. A few hours later the storm hit. Today every car in NB was absolutely caked in mud. Looks like we had a legit west Texas dust storm roll in right before the rain last night.

Went on a late night grocery run last night at 12:30 (HEB was open).  Thought I'd take the opportunity to wash the dirt off my car at the laserwash on the way home.  line was 2 cars deep at 1 in the morning, another guy pulled up behind me.

I'm not sure where else to put this since we don't have a 2018 Texas Summer thread....and we probably shouldn't since it would just be depressing.  But, at least May is supposed to be cooler than normal.

We got lit up with hail in Georgetown Friday night, washed my truck and found at least 10 new dents

What part of Gtown are you in? We got a bunch of small stuff, but the cars are so filthy that I haven’t looked closely yet.

I'm due west of you (out off 3405). Guess I should actually check...

powerful storm system will arrive across TX late this week/early this weekend.

Extremely nice mid April weather will continue today and tomorrow before a weak cool front slides into the area on Wednesday and stalls near the coast on Thursday. Strong capping aloft during this period should prevent much in the way of thunderstorms, but a few scattered showers will be possible from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday over the region. The front will wash out late Thursday with onshore flow developing Thursday night.

Main forecast focus this week will be on the late week/weekend time period as a strong storm system looks poised to impact the region. It should be understood that we are still several days away from any impacts and the forecast will change, but decent global model consistency is pointing toward a very active period late Friday into much of Saturday over the area. Moisture values will rise to impressive mid April levels and the jet stream structure over SE TX looks mostly favorable for strong lifting along an advancing frontal boundary. Severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall look possible with this system given it will be further south than the recent systems to slide just NE of our area. This system deserves close watch as we move through the week.

This is from Jeff Lindner, the chief meteorologist for Harris County.

We’re supposed to have a joint bday this weekend for my 5 and 7 yo boys. With a petting zoo. Outside.

Should we build an ark?

Wtf is with all the wind?
Is it going to ever stop?

It feels like West Texas has moved east this spring.

March and April are always windy in Central Texas.

Looking more and more like the rain will linger into Saturday night's game. That Pacific storm has slowed down a little bit.

Not a bad strategy.

As long as the rain finally knocks the remaining oak pollen down, I'm good with it being a wet weekend. 

That's what my wife said.  AYOOOOOO.

Looks like models are backing off (which is why I didn't post the last few days about this).  Turning out to be a "widely scattered storms, but if you're under one, watch your cornhole".  Most of the worst (as usual this year so far) is going to be N/E of Austin.

I think right now, 1) won't be an "e'erbody gettin' rainz" situation, probably 50% of us; 2) some parts, mostly N/E of the Ausplex, will get a nasty hail/wind brief type storm, and 3) proally clear out for the "There are no losers  in this one" game.  I'd take an umbrella if you're going but probably will be 90% outta here by then.

 

Or not.  LOL (if changes, I'll post early a.m. Sat.).  But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

and another one of those dry rain events unfolds. 

it did get misty out there for a bit. that was nice.

maybe tonight is the show

#297

Really only one more chance, that's when the front goes through tonight about midnight, again spotty and scattered but some local areas might get a nasty/borderline severe. 

I'd say most of us won't get shit, and those who do, it'll be in and out in about 30 minutes.

Tomorrow sunny as shit and low humidity.

#298

It’s pouring in The Woodlands. I’m sitting on my porch drinking whiskey, listening to Riders on the Storm, and taking one hits. Pretty good little Saturday night.

Force field down in H-Town tonight.....listening to some classic Shirley Bassey during the rain drops, sipping some scotch....all is good...
