If it going to miss, better that it misses west rather than east.

True. But all the rain went into the Buchanan watershed while very little fell in the Travis watershed. Forecast went from 1.5 inches this morning down to about a quarter of an inch for Austin. Although it looks like another round is supposed to come later tonight, so fingers crossed...

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 2,735]

Forecast totals have trended the wrong direction for the week. Looks to be more of a coastal/SETX event. 
 

Hill Country and 35 corridor should still get 1-2” through Friday.

fucking bullshit

[YGIFS 19,445]

Forcefield activated strong just now.  Clouds were darkening, pressure dropping, and wind getting weird.  

Now sun is out, humid as balls, and just a steady 5mph breeze.  tomorrow looking like a similar fate.  

I'm happy we get 2" between now and Saturday as modeled.  But shit, we got 2" in 90 minutes last Thursday.  
Overall, hadn't been a bad July like last few years.  But we ain't even at the turn for the back half of Summer yet for another two weeks.

[SimonBolivar 10,673]

So our sewage line apparently busted and clogged up late last night and can only be cleared through the clear out line from the roof which of course the plumber won't do because it's the only rain that we've ever had in Texas in late July. It's officially never going to stop raining, so I hope y'all are happy with my sacrifice.

Some thunder over Austin, so maybe I won’t have to take my kids swimming later.

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 2,735]

Aaaand New Braunfels gets fucked again.

Slightly damp in 78754

Watch this one die as it crosses into Comal County. 

[Dilligas 657]

Damn, for once it didn’t. At least at Comal/Bexar line. And this was after about 15 minutes of heavy shiite 

 

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 2,735]

Hardest rain I’ve ever seen near 46/3009

1.4” in 30 min

Maybe you NB whiners will zip it for a while

[NorthLoop 13,929]

I haven't gotten a drop. Watching a nice lightning show as it passes over wilcox's house on the other side of town.

Highest our pool has ever been near 46 and 281. 2 hours of a gully washer.

Edit: 2 cars trapped in high water on 46 east if 281.

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 2,735]

I ended up getting 2.4”. Looks like some places west and north of me got nearly 5”. Hopefully all of this brings Canyon up some- most probably ran off pretty quick so I’d think it would.

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 2,735]

Good storms west of SA and Austin right now

Damn good storm in San Marcos. The gods were angry. Looks like another forming out near NB/Canyon.

[Biff Tannen 45,013]

Rain on the roof outside my bedroom in July is not a sound I am used to. Nor is the high of 84 tomorrow. 

[MissingInAction 24,324]

I was about to Uber to a bar for another round, then glorious rain.

[NorthLoop 13,929]

not gonna bitch too much. We've gotten plenty of rain - my grass is lush... just annoying watching a storm pass by my hood like 2 miles away and not a drop. 

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 2,735]

Flash flooding out north of Medina Lake. 6.5” of rain in 3 hours near Pipe Creek. 

Should help fill up the lake.

Absolute prodigious amounts of rainfall along the upper Llano River watershed, with Johnson Fork of the Llano now running at 28K cfs.  And it is still coming down out there, all along the Llano.  We're going to see some wild streamflows along that river by the end of the day heading down to Lake LBJ.

[WithoutAClue 14,991]

As mentioned above, Llano River getting some love.

Not terrible for upper Pedernales as well.

[texasdago 7,389]

Nice to open the window and listen the rain last night in SW Austin

Llano watershed looking fine...

[Trey3216 15,308]

Freddyburg been getting bombarded for about 10 hours straight.   Just crazy dump of rain, right on the worst drought stricken part of the state 

[hornbri 1,346]

If that gate on the llano is accurate that should be a good injection into Travis in the next 24 hours. 

[HOOKEM4 4,914]

It is accurate. I saw some photos posted on FB from the sheriff showing the Johnson Fork. Holy shit it is high. Pretty sure I cant get to my ranch if I wanted to and it looks like we are at 10+ inches of rain in 48 hours out there.  Crazy turn of events.

[NorthLoop 13,929]

looks like some good areas are getting hammered today

Yeah--it's now up over 60k cfs, and there's no sign that the rain is going to stop over the next couple hours.  For the moment, it looks like it may be intensifying a bit right there over Rocksprings.

It peaked at 62k. Coming down now. Great plug of water for Travis though.

[Wally Pryor 5,201]

Buckets and buckets in 04. 

[boknowstecmo 216]

That huge mass can keep raining out West, we'll take this stuff from the south instead. 

[gofuckyourself 8,057]

I've got a huge mass your mom can take from the south.

Or something.

Either way, it's wet down here. Real wet.
