2018 Rain Thread

[Hate 20,124]

Decent chance at some bad weather today.

 

 

[phdhorn 6,224]

Line o' potent storms now forming along Dry Line about 100 m. NW of Austin.  Backbuilding NE to SW, moving slowly SE.  The only question is does it build far enough south?  I think it'll get into our northern burbs (Bell/Will Co's) at least, by dinnerish time.

 If we could just get one more decent shower later this week, we should be free of the green dust.

Please.  For the love of god.

Crazy little storm over DFW right now. Hail was falling here in Addison

[bolverk 29,694]

Please.  For the love of god.

Just be grateful you don't live in Midland.

I'm not even allergic, I just want to be able to wash my damn car.

Hell of a cell passing over me in 77042 right now. 

[Bert Orange 1,120]

No power 

[texasdago 7,575]

Last night wasn't bad... actually enjoyable.

[1978horn 894]

I got nothing southwest of Austin

[Doc Holliday 199]

Severely disappointed we didn't get anything.  I really want a good storm.  Hopefully this weekend will provide...

[swraith 347]

Got nothing but a brief sprinkle yesterday. What a tease.

[phdhorn 6,224]

I ain't startin' a "winter weather" 2018 over this, since, uh, winter 2018 is officially over (well save for the last 10 days next December if you're really anal retentive about it), but this has been a pretty nasty April for the North Plains and NE.  3 big March storms and temps still 15° or so below average.  And now another blast:

Record-breaking, 'ridiculous' April cold and snow set to hit northeastern U.S. this weekend 

•  

BYCHRIS SOMMERFELDT

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

 

Updated: Wednesday, April 4, 2018, 4:59 PM

An unusually cold winter storm is bound for New York City — again.

Dreams of clear skies and mild weather will have to wait, as forecasters predicted Wednesday that a record-breaking Arctic blast is headed for the East Coast this weekend.

"Ridiculous late season arctic outbreak Fri/Sat," Weather Company meteorologist Michael Palmer tweeted.

Temperatures in the city are expected to drop as much as 20 degrees below the normal and a slushy snow-rain mix will likely start falling on Friday and continue well into Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.

The harsh weather comes less than a week after 3 inches of snow blanketed the city, grounding flights and postponing the Yankees' opening game.

However, New Yorkers can consider themselves lucky.

The harshest weather is set to hit the north and central U.S., with temperatures dropping 30 degrees below normal.

Minneapolis is expected to experience the coldest April day ever recorded on Friday, with a high of only 21 degrees.

The Arctic blast will be cold enough to dump snow from Washington to Boston, according to forecasts. Despite the unseasonably cold weather, temperatures across the northern hemisphere in general are slated to be far warmer than normal, signaling that this cold front in no way negates the overall warming of the planet.

I love how they have to get that "climate change" blast in there at the end.  

[Wally Fairway 5,569]

I'm throwing this in here, because there isn't a 2017/18 winter thread & I'm not starting one.

Getting ready for minor league opening day in Grand Rapids (Mich), groundskeeper has some work to do. Photo is yesterday, game is today.
Forecast is for it to be 37° at first pitch, and snow flurries if they don't finish in under 2:30.
Play ball!!!

[Biff Tannen 45,692]

So tonight?  Maybe?

[Nicole44 22,069]

Sirens went off here in Plano not too long ago. Still no rain but sky looks scary.

[Big D 249]

Small hail here in Allen.  Not too bad though.

[Nicole44 22,069]

So far nothing here. Just sirens earlier and thunder and not yet a drop of rain.

[Zepol87 9,188]

Decent shit in Rockwall a bit ago, fuck

[atomheartbevo 89,742]

PBS just put out a severe weather alert on their kids channel, spooking my kids. I had to explain that we weren’t in Williamson County, and that Williamson County is the Louisiana of Texas. 

[UnivTex34 1,763]

So that storm outside Lampassas looks like it just spun something up

Most of North Central Texas under a severe thunderstorm watch. Travis is not included.

Don't think we're going to get really bad storms this far down south, although a moderate line could come through tonight when the cold front hits.

[texhorn 351]

Watching some nasty shit headed SE towards me (near Lake GTown) right now. Hope it shifts a little further north...

[Shut up Lou Holtz 2,045]

Is it never going to rain again on the new board too?

Looks like it’s gonna skip just north of you.

[texhorn 351]

Yup, watched it crawl right by us. Nasty looking storm.

Austin may just barely catch the edge of this one storm cell. Getting a few sprinkles currently.

[skipperj 377]

It keeps building up on the west side. Looks like it’s splitting around the forcefield, though. North and SW Austin. Raining here in SW now.

[Radical Larry 28,651]

Raining like a mofo in 78759. 

[Modessit 5,603]

Starting to hear some rumblings in 78724. Thought it was going to miss is. Nice blob moving in from the north.

[rage-a-holic 4,408]

Pounding in 78749. Fuck this shit. I was cleaning out the garage and painting some crap, now I'm fucking soaked after 15 minutes of dragging shit back in.

[Tailleur17 361]

Tornado warning E of aggyville. Heading towards Conroe/Woodlands area.

[Celery Man 20,976]

78745 started coming down hard and fast. boom motherfucker

[Ghost of LL 15,539]

Really good soak in the 46. We needed that.

That sounds bad. Is this bad?

[swraith 347]

Rain gauge for camp Mabry says 0.09 inches. Translated to, no rain for you.

[Blotto 23,560]

Holy shit. It's mid 40's in April. This is a pleasant surprise.

[AnonymousInternetPoster 163]

Saw a really nice lightning show flying into DFW last night around 9pm.  Happy for this last blast of cool weather before it gets ass hot.

[phdhorn 6,224]

Pretty much came through Austin exactly as forecast... most of the bad stuff was E/SE of us but a line developed right as the front went through, had a good hard downpour for a few minutes then moved out.

[Trey3216 15,349]

37 right now in Hewitt.   We got absolutely blasted by a storm last night.  Seriously rained about 2.5 inches in 35 minutes or so.   Lots of small roads and roadside ditches turning into rivers.   Wild

spent 6 hours framing out and roofing the last part of my dad’s cookshed in Hewitt today, and it was cold as fuck. and i sweat on my grave for about 2 mins it flurried right around 1:00.

i’m windburned like a mofo and chilled to the bone, but this hot bowl of chicken sausage gumbo is curing what ails me.
