2022 Rain Thread

[Brisketexan 104596]

Downtown Austin....and at least per my weather app, rain chances keep dwindling.  Down to 40%.

Seeming more likely that for Austin, this will be another big nothing.

They got the memo. That's why they stayed home. Even they have their limits of stupidity.

Is the threat to Big Bend over? (/no Ramey)

I've only been following weather relatively close since the June 2019 storm in Dallas rocked my world and I wasn't prepared for it (although nobody really called that one with much notice, at least at the time it came through).  But seems like an odd pattern here.  Mild to Moderate storms flowing north to south over DFW with the line then coming from the east.  We've already had a couple of really solid chunks of rain.   I feel like these days we're on severe watch are typically hot and humid all day just waiting to pop.

Your monitor is upside down, bro.

Rain chances here in Cedar Park have dropped off a cliff according to Wunder and TWC.  Guess I’ll mark myself safe on FB

That's what they want you to think

From what I understand, weather apps are not the most reliable when it comes to severe weather.  Phd might have two cents on that.

[MissingInAction 24814]

I see three cells of shit headed northeast from Boerne to centex.

[SimonBolivar 10915]

At 343 PM CDT, a confirmed tornado was located 7 miles southeast of
Bryson, or 12 miles southwest of Jacksboro, moving northeast at 35
mph.

 

The Weather Service is reporting two tornadoes on the ground up there from what I can tell.

All I know is they had us unplug instruments and go home early. 
 

stuffed one truck in the garage/wife trash storage facility and the other under a live oak, in case the hail gets to be of decent size. 
 

still the only places that are showing a decent event in the austin area are the local channel websites.  The National ones all show it getting bad further east. 

[MissingInAction 24814]

That shit in Boerne is getting worse by the second.

It's pronounced Born-y.

Path looks like it might be heading for Round Rock/Georgetown I can't quite tell? Of course by the time that gets here it may be a giant line of crap.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Allegedly:

Reports that it hit the animal shelter, which is on 380 southwest of Jacksboro.  Would put the path through the west side of town. 

Edit:  NWS had upgraded it to a PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation) tor warn.

I don't know how "accu" Accuweather's models are, but this is what they're currently showing on their future radar for 5:25.

Never good when the Weather Service upgrades a tornado warning to...

 

TORNADO...OBSERVED
TORNADO DAMAGE THREAT...CONSIDERABLE

 

Jacksboro getting it right now.

Haha. I really should stop conversing on this site during conference calls.  Never been able to multi-task worth a shit.

Actually we did have a tornado come down my street about 10 years ago and it veered left and took out a house down the hill. But I've talked about that here.  Lots of fun, mom and daughter were huddled in the bathroom, I was out on the porch whooping it up.

Look out Austin. Shit is exploding between SA and there and moving your way. I got about 2 minutes of rain/small hail but these look much more potent now.

Sitting in San Marcos and about to get round 1. Cannot pull my jeep into the garage since it is full of my buddies art. So a quilt over the front windshield will have to suffice.

I'm in East Texas just south of Tyler.  Bracing for a rough night.

Same storm has produced a tornado spotted near Bowie HS by police.  Still on the ground.  Radar showing a possible second tornado.

That’s terrifying. I’d like to hope schools are pretty sturdy, but in a town that small who knows

Guessing there are lots of Bowie HS around. Which city/town?

Bowie.  Montague County.

Reassuring (not) that the west is getting pounded which was in the SPCs Slight category, and outside Moderate and Enhanced with the rest of us.

Update:

Alright, here we go.  Hail in storm plus now some rotation, moving up Blanco Co. west of me.  MIght be worth watching. 

Another ominous blob heading NE for Austin proper.  If it's gonna happen, it'll be in these.  Probably more to come within next hour.

Pretty nasty looking hail core headed NNE to Spicewood.  It's been parked on the Pedernales for a while as it develops.

Severe TS heading smack to Austin.  Another one heading toward Lakeway and points west, a third heading SE of city into Bastrop county.  Wow.  Hopefully these don't explode over us.

[Loop 1604 227]

Storms look more linear mode which is good (and bad). Sunny here in SA now lol.

Or you could try the quilt over your buddy's art, and your Jeep in the garage.

You know I'm not sure that I'm glad that I moved to Robinson. I took great comfort in knowing that if I went out at least @Trey3216 was going out with me in Hewitt.

Tornado watch but with more molecules.
