Fizzling out coming souf.  For most, it's simply dying out due to the sun setting/lack of warm air rising.
But here, oh no.  Forcefielded!

 

So if there is a field that has force and it protects austin from rain what will we call it then if it’s not a force field????!!!???!!!

It skirted right around me and made a lurch to the west. I'm ok with that on this night.

Uh, sure, forcefield, yeah, that's it, forcefield.  Yup.  Uh-huh.

Lights went out for about 5 minutes in Blanco. Big black bitchin cloud coming over the tree line.

See!!! I knew it!!!!!

Im really enjoying the light show and temps outside right now. Ac is broken so it’s a nice change. 

[MAUFRAIS 6539]

very enjoyable little sprinkle with light thunder in 78703

[Tailleur17 361]

It’s hot as fuck in Houston. The next few days are gonna suck.

[texhorn 351]

I see the summer misery switch has been flipped. 98 at the house today - almost 10 degrees hotter than yesterday's highs. 

Any storms going to fire up this evening again?

We need some rain.  Area lakes are a little low heading into the summer 

[phdhorn 6224]

Today it was 97.  Tomorrow the hot weather arrives.

[Dilligas 647]

Had two hours of sweet thunder, lightning and some wind 10 miles south of Blanco last night. Rancher in the area said he had 2.1 inches. Almost had to engage heated seats this morning 😂

[Trey3216 15298]

It is miserable Houston hot here in Centex right now.  96 in Hewitt with 55% humidity.  And it's only 2:05.  Ugggh

[texhorn 351]

Looks like a few storms popping up out west.
Please?

Sunday best chance, "best" being a relative term.

[Tailleur17 361]

Texas is on the verge of another drought like 2011 if we don’t start getting rain soon. 

Because once the summer high kicks in for good, we’re proper fucked.

Weirdest thing last night at around 2 - huge clap of thunder, poured for a minute or two then drizzled for another 10-15 .... then nothing.

Certainly feels like we’re headed for an extremely hot, dry summer. Other than the occasional pop up afternoon thunderstorm, I doubt we’ll be getting anything substantial any time soon. 

[swraith 324]

No rain in the forecast other than Sunday’s small rain chance.

We are screwed for a while.

[jimmyjazz 45057]

Tornado warning near Leander?

I haven't been paying attention . . . I didn't even know it might rain today.

[Native Horn 3465]

phdhorn will join us as soon as he's done fapping to the KXAN weathergirl

[South Austin 51418]

Some nice rain in 78731.

[jimmyjazz 45057]

Warning expired.

[troph 23963]

Several parts of the LT basin have had over 3-4 inches the last two weeks I guess just not widespread enough

[Gardner Barnes 1559]

Good soaking right now in 46 near 360. Not much wind and steady. My lawn is happy.

F’ing pouring in Great Hills. Sitting on our covered patio. My 2.5 year old loves the thunder. 

[Eastwood 4394]

Today I learned what rain chains are. Good thing, too, because I was looking for a gutter spout alternative for our back patio.

[Neonmoon 38126]

59 getting a good rain. Thank you rain gods 

[Larry T. Spider 1740]

Good soaking rain in round rock. Not going to be heavy enough to make much of an impact on the lakes but I hope they are getting something out of this.

[hornian 5153]

1.4” between 7:30 and about 9:30, with most of that in 30 minutes or so after 9:00 am in 78759

Busted forecast in Dallas yesterday for only 20% chance of rain has led to widespread rain this morning. Great for the lawn. Bad for the Byron Nelson.

We still talking bout rain chains?  Pics of wife?

Well, this 40% was a bullseye.  Soak it up, beyotches, because 99°+ is comin' later next week.
However, this should keep the grass green for an extra week and a half.
Most of the damage for the rest of the day is going to be north of us, but there is one wave coming in from the west, that if it holds, will pummel us about 3-4 p.m.
Outside threat of brief strong storms, a la that little Tornader that spun up near Leander.  Most of that stuff will be weak, short lasting, and very focused, but sucks if it goes through your chicken coop.

Blessings, my children.  Have a wunnerful day.

Feels like we are setting up for another 2011. Thoughts on that?

THIS, my friends, is how you do the weather thread.  +rep.
(of course, what else would you expect from the King of Covert Airport Hot)?

Just got a nice little shower.  It's gonna be moist and mosquitoey as shit later on.

[Larry T. Spider 1740]

This thread got rude in a hurry.

Good fucking weather.
