March 27, 20187 yr Cautiously returning here... The forecast today will be (for AUS): increasing chances of rain during the day, small chance for storms to pass through in advance of a cold front coming in later tonight. Widespread, but if you get under one, you could get a lot of rain. Small chance of hail/high winds/severe. Tornado threat low but marginally possible. I don't think most of us will get rain before sunset. As predicted, radar showing most of the rain/weather staying N of Austin right now through most of the day. Tonight (er, tomorrow) the cold front sweeps through between 3 and 6 a.m. This is when we'll almost certainly get a frontal rain (i.e. line of storms moving through). This is also the time it'll be possible to get some strong storms. Portions of the line will be severe, but not all up and down it. I'd say chances of rain with this line are > 90%, it's gonna happen. You might get "woken" up. In any case, the rain amounts shouldn't be overly great; most places about an inch. The bulk of the rain is going to be NE of us into AR and LA, and E. Texas where it's already saturated, so they might flood. Due to the nature of this system, which is fairly strong, and will pull a lot of cool, moist air down with it, rain chances will continue after the front passes early tomorrow a.m., probably into the noon hour. Then the severe line ramps up mostly SE of us; we'll be in relatively stable air. If you live between 35 and the coast, you might get some big storms later Wed afternoon. DFW, today you should get a good shot of the current line, which will arrive in mid-afternoon. Some could be severe, but not everyone. Today is primarily your rain day. As was talked about in the now-dead thread, this has been a typical La Niña winter/spring: dry for us. The storms have all tracked well N/NE of Texas and we've gotten little steady rain although we've had a bunch of "damp" weather; for this reason the drought isn't as bad here as W/NW Texas, where it's really bad. Harvey et. al. has kept the E-SE portions of the state's ground wet, plus there has been a lot more rain moving across TX south of us then up the coast (Houston's got a lot more rain since last fall). The dry weather was predicted; this doesn't mean it's going to stay dry through the spring, but we'll see. The 3-month outlooks call for a pretty strong chance of little rain and warmer than normal. Not looking great so far for 2018. But this often changes. Back later if shit goes down/changes. Obligatory: forcefield, not going to rain, bullshit.

March 27, 20187 yr No, tell him/her to drive themselves. probably (I put that "tl;dr:" shit in because believe it or not, a buncha people want it)

Let's just say that 1) probably na. naga.. nagonnahappen proally, and 2) first South Austin has to come through with the wife's slide-in's. Then we'll talk. Drizzly drippy-droppy here in The Cave, but temps just went down 10° due to rain-cooled air. Chances pick up now through tomorrow a.m., peaking 3-4 a.m. in AUS. Houston, tomorrow is your day for big storms.

March 27, 20187 yr Uncle Jim Spencer said to expect 3” rainfall totals in the next 24-36 hours. Bracing for on-and-off light to moderate drizzle.
March 27, 20187 yr That's why I moved from the 57 to the 53. That, and more gun play and police helicopters.
March 27, 20187 yr Got a brief few minutes of heavy downpour and about 20 minutes of light rain at Bill Cannon and West Gate Edited March 27, 20187 yr by irishtexan
March 28, 20187 yr Pissing on a rock in 78724. Lightning boomed so close one of the kids toys started talking in the living room. Hopefully this washes the bird shit off of my car. Edited March 28, 20187 yr by Modessit
March 28, 20187 yr Storms kept me up for a good chunk of the night in 78731. My lawn is loving it though.
March 28, 20187 yr 4+ inches in Kyle, we needed it. Hopefully the Blanco gets some significant runoff it's been super dry and I want to get my kayak fishing going on.
March 28, 20187 yr 2 hours ago, UnivTex34 said: 2.7 inches and counting in 78748. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but that's a pretty small penis.

Hopefully the Blanco gets some significant runoff it's been super dry and I want to get my kayak fishing going on. Looks like you guys won the rain total contest in the Austin area, although higher totals might be falling today east of U.S. 77. But totals in the region were all pretty uniform, 2"-3.5" or so. This go-round the forecasts nailed it pretty well. Heading into a dry spell, it looks like, so enjoy this. However, the ground will be saturated for at least 2 weeks from this, being so uniform + widespread. Pretty much guarantees a pretty hefty spring growing season now.
March 28, 20187 yr So disregard those rain chances for early next week? 10-day looks awfully nice with no high above 82 and sunny most days.
March 28, 20187 yr I don't have a rain gauge, so no idea how much we got in my little neck of 78745, but the power went out at 3am, and was off until 6.
March 28, 20187 yr Whoa, hold onto your asses, another blob moving right up 35, should hit in about an hour or so if it holds together. BTW, rain chances are high most of the day until at least dinner time. Moar!

March 28, 20187 yr Not much here in Austin now, just drove into work with a couple of stops and just had a few sprinkles. Lots of thunder and lightning last night though
March 28, 20187 yr Just need it to hold together until it gets over my tank...maybe I can make it through the summer then
