I'm at .06 today .21" total. I didn't want the 5" that the euro had, but was looking for 1.5" or so. We will see what happens the next day or so I guess.

Beautiful afternoon

Luckily, the shed structurally came through pretty well. Just need to add a some roofing once I figure out how to remove our fallen friend.

After awhile of living down here in the desertification district of Texas, you catch on. Reportedly decillions of long metric tons of rain are on their way today, tonight and early tomorrow. I believe it. But those green flood watches. They are 170 miles NORTH of us. You live down here long enough, you learn. We are shyte out of luck - AGAIN. We'll see drizzle, and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours of light mist and light drizzle. The 9 billion year rains are bubbling up all around Buda, but rest assured 99.9999999999999999 percent of the rain will - you guessed it - waterboard Dallas and points north and east. This includes Washington DC. Some communities in Dallas have already gotten 23 plus this year and are on track for a 60 inch rain year easy. NOT US. NO WAY. Not even in 1 million years. Not even one season like that. Rain hates me and rain absolutely abhors Buda. Some horrible pos has erected a permanent Klingon Anti Rain Shield around north Hays County. We are shyte out of luck. We'll have category 987 -level Drought by September, and cracks in that ground so wide, I will fall in AGAIN and really shatter my left knee this time! The Austin Metropolitan Region is out of luck for the foreseeable future, probably well into the 2030s. We are so up shyts creek, that Texas could get a Cat 5 hurricane. We'd get the 190 mph winds, the tornadoes and the damage. We'd get probably half an inch of rain, while Dallas would get about 14 feet of rain and the Trinity River would get so high it would drown south Oklahoma. I would sell everyone out, for a chance to live in Cherrapunji, India. They get ~1050 inches a year, every year.

Biggest heat this summer will mostly be well west of New England.

That is a wild severe warning box

That cell turned out to be wicked, turned into Quarter size hail. Lots of leaves down and a gust to 47 mph. Luckily it has moved North now and seems as if the vehicles didn’t get any damage.

Tornado warning just NE of Richmond.

Looks like another sneaky severe evening.

Congrats Freak and Dendy and Dryslot

Plenty of time to trend north which seems likely

Perfect track Fri/Sat for SNE. I don’t want to hear any bitching come winter now.

Had a decent downpour that got us to 0.15" for the day here. 0.55" for the event so far, which is pretty disappointing. Hopefully we'll get lucky with a t-storm tomorrow afternoon. If not, the advertised big soaking 4 day period is going end up a big disappointment. Definitely a big bust for the Euro model which showed ridiculously high amounts for days.

.71 so far. Radar looks anemic for now We’ll see how the 3-6” forecasts here some had and flood watches work out . Time will tell

1.2” today, 3” MTD

I picked up a bunch of veggie plants today and was going to put them in this evening, but I’ll wait a day and keep them safe under the patio table. In other words, I’m jinxing myself out of any thunderstorms tonight.

Looking at RadarScope again I think it’ll scoot to my west, but I’ve heard rumbles in the distance, so who knows.

CT should be ok by Sat late morning but AEMATT may have a wettie

Storm total here now .92

mine's getting long and it's only Cinco de Mayo !

Just reported Nickel size hail in the cell that popped up basically over my house in Stafford, near Hartwood, VA.

0.23" of rain since this morning here in East Nantmeal this brings our 3 day total up to 1.51" of rain.

@aldie 22 gonna get recked

Yeah I saw that. Told my kid that it would slip to the N. Just got put under a warning for it by a sliver.
