  1. I'll wager that Peter and Rose won't consecutively affect the outcome of any MLB game.
  2. Yup, always, ALWAYS the early-early season off-the-Texas-coast thingamabob. There's also one dancing around out there in the N. Atlantic, won't affect us or get big at all, but Whomp! There it is!
  3. LOL at one of the things you put in (won't give it away). one more wall accomplishment?
  4. I think the only thing they're prodding is the "Significantly Below Average" (used to be the "r" word) IQ level.
  5. LOL Circle C? Sure, why not on the community center lawn. People will eat it up! Kind of like inviting a zombie to your cookout. I mean now, they're just trolling us.
  6. or the same amount of bj's in 10 years? (JK, missus would kill me if she saw this).
  7. When I was actually studying meteorology (I was actually gonna be one), all the chicks looked like Janet Reno without makeup and when she just got up. I quickly switched into music - where often the boys are as pretty as the girls (ooh, did I just say that?) but the girls were hot - if not psychotic, ice-pick-you-if-you-get-on-their-bad-side nutso. But it was worth it. Nowadays, meteos are pretty good looking (thank you, Weather Channel, despite your hysterics you brought us the hot weather chick).
  8. You a fast player at a fast course? No. More than 3 hours? Maybe. I have UT graduation (son) at 7, so I'm watching it too.
  9. I'm married. What else do you want to know?
  10. We see systems on weather maps and think of them as solid entities or whatnot. But in real life, they're air pressure gradients. More like blobs. Think of holding a long thin balloon with just a little of it inflated. If you squeeze say on the right, the inflated blob moves left. And vice-versa. Many times that's what happens - one system just pushes the other along. However they also attract each other - go through a revolving door and sometimes you feel the air blow by you. Well lower air pressure can suck other low air pressure towards it because, well, the pressure is low and when they get close enough, the similarities in the air pressure allow one to pull the other in. This low is moving by itself and isn't yet pulled into the coast. But it will be when it moves close enough, and the two will merge (balloon illustration). That coastal low combined with the momentum of the big one will cause them to draw to each other and re-form.
  11. I guess I should also say if you live in the area roughly bordered by Hearne, San Antonio, Corpus, and Lufkin, today could be another rough one. Tons of rain and risk of these tropical type tornadoes (quick spin up then down). Flooding likely (already occurring of course) in most of costal plain Texas... rivers in this area are likely to flood by the weekend, but probably not too much over their banks - well as of yet, anyway. Good luck.
  12. Update: - Models moved everything east. Low developed off of SE TX coast, and the big low is moving that way and will hang out for a few days as a cutoff. ATX will be either just under its N/S axis or to its west. If so, some rain but not a lot. Anyone to the SE/E/NE of it will get a ton of rain and bad weather. - Atmosphere is still pretty charged, and with the low throwing in even more copious amounts of warm moist air, the recipe is still very ripe for lots of rain and bad weather. What's saving us though is that there's nothing to trigger it.... but S and E of us, from just east of the 35 corridor to the coast and up into NE Texas, today could be another rain day. Watch for heavy and severe storms to develop to our SE and move NE ward - generally away from us. However certainly a complex could form a little more north and head at/over us. So we're not out of the soup entirely. - NWS might pull flash flood watch from our area and western counties, probably keep it SE of our immediate ones. So forecast is today, cloudy, muggy, passing showers, always the chance of a severe storm ramping up, most probably diurnal (daytime heat-driven) along the usual suspects - late afternoon/early evening. Then a break. Tonight and most of tomorrow, little rain as this low is too far SE of us to do much. Friday a low comes in from the west and provides another trigger for the big one by then SE of us. Good chance of moderate-heavy rain for Fri-Sat, but at this point severe risk is low, and rain totals should still be managable (1-3 inches thru Sat). Of course at any point a strong storm pouring tons of rain could drop over you (4-5 in.) but that's going to be very scattered and not as likely. All starts to move out Sat. night, Sun and onward more sun, it'll be over. So; Today: good chance of an inch or two, very scattered severe; Thurs - drier but cloudy, spotty rain; Fri - rain picks up later in day, carries over into most of Saturday, then Sunday begins dryout as lows move off.
  13. Sorry to see all the mess in Houston tonight, you guys take care. Surprise surprise, MAJOR change in Austin weather. A coastal low has formed and it is drawing the worst weather and energy toward it, and away from Austin, for the rest of this week's event. Always the chance of a stray severe storm moving through Austin tomorrow but all the models have now shifted the worst of it to where it was today and even farther south and east. We might get another inch over 3 days. Yeah we could maybe use a little more rain but dodged a bullet if you ask me.
  14. "STAR Test?" What the fuck is that? Never heard of it. You'd think that as one of Austin's highly-engaged public servants, she'd know what the fuck test her kid took. Also, that's a pathetic photo. I mean seriously? Lie on the floor and shut the fuck up. Mommy's working on padding her image. And pose well. I need you for my career.
  15. It's more than obvious that for today at least, the bullseye moved 50-80 miles south and east of us. We have tomorrow to go yet, but it's starting to look like Al Capone's vault. Nevertheless, it's very tough to pinpoint or the worst rain would be, not sure if they'll ever get that down.
  16. Yeah I see them more or less as 0-2 today, but I guess when the bar's set that high we can overlook what would normally be pretty good rain on any given day.
  17. We are getting a pretty good shower here probably about a half inch so far the last 10 minutes but it always rains in Bee Cave.
  18. Man I swear that red blob was heading straight for Travis, took a decided right hand turn about 80 miles out, then took another left, forming a "Z", and now it's heading NE again - but will miss most of Austin. That was very weird.
  19. I think that's high winds, not a 'nader. San Marcos will get winds > 80 mph. So far, this is doing nothing like forecast. The red blob south of Austin is very nasty, but moving south of town.
