    Not a drop in San Marcos. Even watered my plants. Should have washed the cars.

    Forcefield has shifted south the last year or so. Strong shields up south of Austin these days. It’s almost fascinating to watch because you know it’s coming- if it weren’t so damn frustrating.

    Rage-inducing watching DFW/NTX get flooded time after time while every promising forecast busts here. Even worse, it’s going to set up east and southeast of us this evening- probably another flood for Houston.
     

    Mets of NWS Austin/SA, at some point you gotta admit defeat and realize that forecasting rainfall in our area without sufficient upper air balloon data from eastern Mexico is a total crapshoot. The QPF models are trash until about a day before.
     

    Clearly something is going on in the mid levels (prob dry air coming off Mexican highlands) that washes out every system to nothing but clouds and drizzle while areas north and east get bukkake deluxe rainfall.

    So from Georgetown to Waco will flood. Austin will get a few sprinkles. San Marcos will flood. NB will get farted on, and not the wet kind. 

     

    Sound about right, @Wilcox Cummingtonite?

    I’ve been watching the forecasted QPF precip totals drop all week…my guess is a broken line of storms along tomorrow’s front that peters out as it moves east then reforms once past us (as per usual). We might get 0.25-0.5”. Everywhere north and east of Austin gets bukkaked as always.

    In other words, you are spot on sir.
