75% of NWS Radars down nationwide on one of the most dangerous severe weather nights of the year.

We got .3 inches and 5-10 mins of hail too. 

[Cajun 11,744]

Same amount of rain here at Canyon Lake without the hail.

[Nicole44 22,078]

Some places in Kentucky seem pretty fun and safe right now. Like being blown by winds/rain down the sidewalk.

We have no damage - it’s standing seam metal covered with solar panels and no damage done.

0.3 inches at my house, no hail, sorry ROFL.

Rookie.

Needed to be shirtless, holding a US flag and playing some Slayer to properly handle that.

@TexasEd is not far from Deer Creek Elementary & we recently completed a total re-roofing for him.

[atomheartbevo 89,807]

Damn, glad it held off for three hours.  It’s pouring in parts of Austin.

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 3,037]

Hey look, it’s raining north and east of where it needs to. Again.

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 3,037]

Ah yes, DFW/north TX where it rains all the fucking time. 

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 3,037]

Being realistic- short term models don’t exactly look promising for significant rainfall (>1”) for this latest “event.” Prob get one real shot late tonight/overnight. If I were a betting man it’ll be a broken line of storms that peters out or gets stronger east of us. 

Then back to sunny and windy and dry as fuck until more humid bullshit this weekend. Hoo boy, this is El Niño. Just wait until La Niña in 2025.

Hadley cells have to be expanding northward. Something is fucked. We’re gonna run out of water soon. Move north and east if you can before the Hill Country transforms into Crockett County- nothing but cedars and caliche.

Lots of thunder near @utee94 - NW Travis/Williamson border.

Well, that didn't last long.

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 3,037]

Models looking slightly better for the 35 corridor at least. Maybe my whiny ass rant helped anti-jinx. 
 

Should see some good storms fire up 10:30 am-1:00 pm moving up from SW of San Antonio heading northeast along 35.
 

We need some daytime heating/sunshine late afternoon to destabilize shit for potential late tonight/overnight round or line of storms. Fuck these low clouds if they aren’t gonna do shit (but fuck up the eclipse).

small hail as well in 78751

[atomheartbevo 89,807]

[South Austin 52,614]

Hail can go fuck itself, but a nice heavy rain will be good to wash away this latest film of oak all over the city.

[boknowstecmo 216]

Little bit of hail in 52. Then a little bit of rain. Storm cell ramped up quickly though.

Decent hail storm in 78757 Anderson Lane/183 area.

[Post Oak 20,276]

Just shy of an inch in Hewitt.

I'm seeing better-than-even odds we'll be in La Niña by August.  Here come the hurricanes.

Yes that is correct- though typically it takes the atmosphere and jet stream a few months or more to “couple” with ocean temps.

He should be more concerned about putting on that Freshman 15 than being studious...lightweight.

Probably closing in on 2 now.  Been rain bombing for the past hour  

[Post Oak 20,276]

Yep. My gauge just went past 2.  

[utee94 15,863]

My gauge just went past 0.02.

But hey, at least there are chances of tornadoes and hail over the next 5 hours.  Getting no rain but tornadoes and hail would be just awesome.

 

[South Austin 52,614]

Austin metro area currently under tornado watch.

[Trey3216 15,357]

3.25 so far by my house.   Finally just let up a bit 

[South Austin 52,614]

AISD texted and said tornado watch is through 5pm so all after school activities will be indoors.

[NorthLoop 14,248]

Tornado watch in Comal County too... except the sun is shining bright and not a drop of fucking rain is within 200 miles of us or on it's way at all. 

[atomheartbevo 89,807]

Nice little cell about to hit Austin.  Came up out of nowhere.  Lakeway people getting some action.

Oh cool. More hail.

Doesn’t look like this is going to get big enough to hit Austin proper and will just slide on to the north. Round Rock and Georgetown though….

Pea+ size. Gusty as hell.

Another wave of hail. Grape size.
