Back porch, heavy rain no tornadic shit, frontal passage, bourbon in hand. 

Paradise.

Watching rain come down from the porch is sublime. I’m gonna sit and have a drink and smoke once the kids are down. Thanks for the reminder 🤘

Just drove from Pflugerville to my house in SW Austin. Only lightning until I hit SW Parkway where it was pouring.

Yeah, nice and heavy there. Just great rain and some benign thunder.

My burgers did not quite have enough time on the grill. Got soaked rescuing them. Told the fam they got grill seared, oven finished beef tonight. The toasted buns sadly were an irrecoverable tragedy. 

[jimmyjazz 45894]

Well, "Dutch Oven" is a lousy name for a jazz fusion band that covers metal tunes.

[NorthLoop 14183]

Typical.

Atypical maybe.  FF shifted to Buda / Kyle.

NL have you considered that it might be your fault that the much needed rain has been passing you by so frequently?  Perhaps you have been touching yourself too frequently?

You assholes should be thanking me for moving out of Austin. Yall have never gotten so much rain.

Well this is way more rain than I expected. Nice!

[SquishMitten 10403]

Just a bullseye right over me in Westlake. Bit over an inch in ~10 minutes.

While we still need it, this cloud cover's gonna mess with our viewing of  the eclipse isn't it?

Gah, thanks for the reminder.  I was going to get up on Wednesday morning and realize I was a full day off.

[YGIFS 19449]

Actually, you would have woken up tomorrow and told yourself, "Of course the Moon is fucking blood red on Election Day.  Ah well, no matter happens today-I'll still have that lunar eclipse everybody's been talking about to look forward to on Wednesday."  

[4th&Five 41519]

Heavy rain and hail in Lakeway...my car might've gotten fucked before I could move it.

[Pato del Muerto 52487]

Been bouncing between nice rain and torrential downpour for 30 minutes now in gtown. 

[AUS-97HORN 11757]

[South Austin 52459]

Rain.  Cold.  Where the hell am I?

[jimmyjazz 45894]

Nice, got me an inch in NW Hills.

An inch of rain.

It's never going to not rain again.

[Wally Pryor 5261]

From the south, let's go.

[hookemATL 11707]

Things are getting moist in CP. 

[texasdago 7569]

I feel like it's been years since we've had such a long moist stretch

 

[Wally Pryor 5261]

Real rain in 35. Not the spotty / drizzly shit.

[jimmyjazz 45894]

My dumbass dog is woofing on the back porch, must be raining.

I say "dumbass dog" to draw a distinction with my other dumbass dog.

There's a pattern here.

None today. 

About as perfect a day as you can get.

is @phdhorn still taking forecast requests?

We've planned to be camping this saturday into sunday at Meridian state park.  Forecast calls for 'scattered thunderstorms', should we cancel or does it seem like we'll just be getting short lived stuff that we should bear with?  its a group of people (moms with toddlers) without much stomach for dealing with weather...

csb/ we went camping there years ago for our anniversary with SIL/husband.  We're in two separate tents ready for bed.  Lightning storm outta fucking nowhere just blows up and you can feel how close they are.  And like right now, it was unseasonably warm.  Well gotta get to something more grounded than a tent made of fucking aluminum.  So we all four double-timed it back in the car, windows up.  And the fucking lightshow just doesn't let up for an hour.  It was so fucking hot in that car by the end, my flatulence from campfire food was insane, and we all nodded off and made our way one-by-one back to the tents afterwards.  Next morning, huge tree just ~20-30 meters from our campsite just scorched and burned.  

I've camped in blizzards, altitude, deserts, and an actual monsoon.  But I ain't ever going back out there with lightning.  There's just nothing you can really do when you're backcountry and I'm on a streak of shit luck lately.  

[jimmyjazz 45894]

So I woke up in the middle of the night, remembered we were supposed to get storms, checked the KXAN weather app and it shows a big cluster of storms had already passed through.  LCRA's Hydromet says we got no rain, though.  Did these storms form east of town or is the LCRA site borked?

I can't find a radar loop that goes far enough back in time to catch that front from, say, midnight on.
