Some instability showers later so we’re not totally done.
-
The 500mb low closed off in the right spot. The front end was ruined because the storm hugged the coast, but the closed off low kicked the low east and wrapped moisture around to the west to create the backlash heavy snow band.
-
It was clear the last 48 hours this storm would favor N NJ and Hudson Valley. It's not some surprise at least not to me.
-
For tomorrow looking pretty strongly like the offshore ridging is winning out and driving the heavy rain axis to our west over NJ/Hudson Valley. Maybe a few inches of rain there over the reservoirs, more showery from the city on east.
-
I just missed this one since I flew out in the early afternoon. It was horrendous for the northern/eastern parts of the city especially. Glass broke at the Capitol, wind damage at the airport and pictures of huge hail drifts a few miles NE of downtown. Apparently it was also a microburst over the city with over 80mph wind. Brief attempt at a tornado near downtown that thankfully didn’t complete. When I lived there I saw a couple that were fairly bad but not like this especially with the hail. People are saying this was one of the worst to hit the city in quite some time. If the storms on Monday fired a little further east before bowing out those would’ve been a lot worse in the city.
-
The steeper ridge allows these lows underneath to cut off and crawl around. If you want real heat anymore we have to go to Montreal lol.
-
Yep if we have that to our south, no way there’s much heat for our subforum. Maybe way north in New England where it clears out.
-
In Austin I saw a whole bunch of them downtown.
-
Or January cutters bring February flowers

This was definitely a bad one. Lots of wind and hail reports and partly collapsed gas station. https://www.kxan.com/weather/gallery-storms-downpour-rain-hail-across-central-texas-wednesday/ https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/65000-austin-energy-customers-without-power-multiple-water-rescues-after-hailstorm# 67K Austin customers without power.
-
There’ll definitely be some minor property/tree damage from that and power outages most likely, but a lot of the trees there are thicker oak trees that don’t come down too easily.
-
77 mph gust reported at the airport apparently.
-
Jeez-baseball size hail severe warning for Austin. I’m back home in the gunk but today wasn’t even supposed to be a severe day there.
-
About 2.25" downtown and pouring again. I'm the lucky charm-this part of Texas is in a severe drought. When I lived here in May 2015 there was 20"+ that month. In Oct 2015 the remnants of Pamela dumped over 16" on the airport/south side of the city. When it decides to rain here it doesn't disappoint.
-
Back to the chilly lame droopy cutoff lows on Wed.
-
It’s done now, still hear thunder but that was awesome
-
Still constant flashes downtown. This is probably the best lightning show I’ve ever seen.
-
It’s insane, and Austin downtown just got relatively grazed. Hopefully it’s not too bad in San Marcos/New Braunfels where velocities were better. Still dumping and loud thunder just now. Lightning still crazy. Wow-WOW-just saw lightning hit the Frost Bank tower (pretty sure). The lightning show on the way out is ridiculous
-
Lightning is absolutely constant. Crazy roar.
-
Some hail on my window (at a hotel). Winds aren’t bad. It’s absolutely dumping and lightning intense. This area needs the rain which is good. There are still people out on 6th Street (Austin’s Bourbon Street). Wow it’s dumping. Can’t see downtown and my hotel lights just flickered. Doesn’t seem like much wind
-
Geez San Marcos isn’t warned and the velocities look intense headed their way. That’s not a small city. Wow..holy-80 mph gusts just warned here. Extremely Dangerous Situation, this will be my first.
-
It’s bowing out as expected. Maybe some small hail but there’ll be strong gusts. Lightning going crazy to my west. I miss severe season here, it puts anything at home down in a second. Velocities look better to my south near Wimberley/San Marcos. We’ll see.
-
Yep 2011. Here it comes.
-
Yep I’m in the hatched hail and wind zone. It’ll be intense if they hold together. Most likely it bows out as it comes in. When I lived here there were a few of those that produced 75+ mph winds. An EF1 went about a mile and a half from my building once. Austin isn’t the heart of tornado alley but severe season peaks around now and gets fun most years. May 2015 was insane. I’d say it was even rainier than August 2011 in Long Beach and tons of severe.
-
Today not so bad-storms from Dallas area cooled us down, yesterday and Saturday were horrendous. High was 99 both days. Golf to tennis ball hail storms headed my way, if they hold together should be here in a couple hours. Winds 70+ mph in them too.
