It's about to get too damn cold for too long too early.

You shut your mouth. 

The KXAN guy told us that we won’t see the sun at all between Monday and Saturday.  Bring on the yoga pants I guess. ?

Shit This Weekend Forecast:

Sergio is here - not just the PGA pro who's tapping that Austin ass and put a ring on it, but the remnants of a Pacific tropical storm.  Sergio's filtering all these clouds and rain up our way - not rare but not all that common either, though of course it happens.  Have to have the right conditions (including a strong subtropical jet, which is what you want for rainy falls/winters).

So, for the next 2 days, we'll be in/out of tropical showers - that is, usually brief with small localized areas of heavy downpours.  Lightning/thunder could put a halt to some stuff for awhile, so be ready for delays.  Not a washout today/tomorrow but certainly soupy, humid, cloudy and in and out of small showers all weekend.  Maybe it'll hold off but already there's rain everywhere.

Sunday is the kicker... a strong Canadian cold front is coming, and bringing with it a pretty intense system.  Rain will pick up a lot and Mon-Tues will be especially rainy, and of course those temps... will be COLD or at least pretty damn cool.  Will Sunday night ACL be affected?  Hard to say, but I think so.  Timing of these fronts is always tricky, the bigger ones tend to speed up, so maybe.  I don't know yet, though, will have to track it tomorrow afternoon to know.  But if/when it comes through, it's going to be windy and pretty rainy.  Absolutely shitty weather to watch anything outside.  We'll see.

tl:dr:  in/out of rainshowers all day Saturday and Sunday, could be brief instances of lightning/thunder.  This is a tropical type event, so rain can come/go quickly.  Almost 100% chance of getting at least a brief shower.  But washout?  Probably not.  Wet as shit?  Yeah.  Sunday evening could be the apocalypse wind/rain.  I'll update tomorrow.

Tornado on the ground near Brady 

Yes, that system has been producing a few tornadoes or at least temporary touchdowns for most of the last 12 hours.most of the worst weather will skirt by us to the north, but we could always get a strong storm down here.

The weather could get a little bumpy down here maybe Sunday night, or Monday, strong cold front passes through.I'll keep an eye on it.

Shaggy Surly next Friday morning when it will still be in the 50's and raining:  "Woe unto us.  Why did you bring us into the wilderness to die?"

Confirmed tornadoes in Waxahachie and Hillsboro this afternoon.  Waco currently under a tornado warning.

Just got the mattress out of the bathroom. I ca confirm that the sirens by my house are working very well.

I was driving back from Salado when my phone started to light up.  Decided to take our time getting back.  Glad we missed the excitement but my dog sure was rattled

Seconded.  Asking for a race track...

Had another 1.5” in the rain gauge in 78757 from that storm last night.

First, hold onto yer asses.  What we know as summer is fucking gone starting late tonight.  There is going to be an almost 50° swing in "comfort index" (what it "feels like" out there).  Temps are going to linger in the 50s-70-s all week.  

It's completely, utterly unlike any weather we've had since about March.  It's here.

Next week there's another little shot of reinforcing cool air. so temps will be brisk.  How much rain accompanies that is always up for grabs, this far out especially.  But for now these types of cool fronts don't generate tons of long-lasting rain  I'm thinking right now Saturday > Sunday.  Saturday will be cloudy and damp, with periods of light rain.  But not a washout.  Sunday will be partly cloudy with rain out of the picture more or less.  

Sweet.  Bye week coming at a great time for fishing and camping. 

Actually, I meant Saturday < Sunday.  As in Sunday will be the better day.

I was hoping there would be no maths.

Mother fucker. Is it every going to stop raining?

You shut your gotdamn mouth. 

Just checking in to say that at this exact moment, Lake Travis is at 666.66. 

Some of you soul-less heathens might want to steer clear of it until it rises a little bit.

And the stream flow in Llano is at 24k chicken fried steaks.

That's only at Devil's Cove.

Llano at 224k this am. 

5.9” at Lcra station nearest me. 

Dammmm

It’s been raining for 22 straight hours here in Hewitt.  My dog tore the inside of my house up yesterday while we were at work.   Fuck this noise 

Edited by Trey3216

Lake Travis expected to be full in 24 hours - was at 666 yesterday morning, 15 fucking feet in 48 hours. That’s a lot of damn water. Going to be lots of boat docks out for the taking - hopefully not mine....

Wow 670 now.

Double digit rain west of Travis in 48 hours. Llano looks dangerous.

Holy sheit!

They're predicting 680 by the end of this rainfall event.  That's pretty crazy given where we were a little over  3 weeks ago.

Major flooding events out west, prayers for all.

3.73" in the past 24 hrs on the east side (24).

3.73"? The east side really is gentrified.

Water within a foot or two of the road on the bridge in llano. That’s not good

That's incredible, as in, that's hard to believe. To be clear, I do believe you though. I've crossed that bridge maybe 100 times and have never imagined the water could get that high. If you can, please post some pics.

P.S. Username checks out.

Just what I was told by a friend. I am in Austin this am but should get some pics 

This bridge? It has risen since this picture. c2f841465b93b650088be807d78e1288.png

Yep.  The Highlands can do some crazy things.  In large part, that’s what they’re designed for.  

Lake Travis once went up 40’ in 24 hours.  

Spencer doing his thing.  He’s the best.  

The live news is showing that bridge now. The water is in full contact with bridge now.
