The forecasts from all the different stations are all over the place, and the 5-7 day precip has us right on the edge (as fucking usual). 

My prediction is that this line comes through Austin, we get lots of thunder, 0.1" of rain and call it a day.

Dead on at my house. Lots of lightning, thunder, and got a total of 0.18" yesterday, with about half that coming from passing showers earlier in the day. 

This city is the biggest tease on rain I've ever seen.

My truck is at a body shop in Jarrell getting hail damage repaired (for a 2nd time no less). They did most of the PDR yesterday and I was going to pick up today. Got the call today that it got hit AGAIN last night and now it needs more PDR (including the new cowl hood I had them put on it).

It was not supposed to rain today and yet it hasn't stopped.  Really fucked up some plans I had.

This sounds almost like a complaint about rain in the middle of a multi-year drought.

Surely this is not a complaint about rain in the middle of a multi-year drought?

Because I might have to neg-bomb a bitch for complaining about rain in the middle of a multi-year drought.

March 2022 in March of 2022:  "We're in a drought still, could be for another year.  Probably at least until after Spring Break 2023."

Biff: "When's Spring Break, 2023?  Let's see...March 11-19th?  Good, because I have something on the following Tuesday at 4:00p."

That just means it's going to be really humid.

And the 60% has now turned to 20% on KXAN. Same as it ever was. 

Meanwhile, Dallas seems to be getting rain 24/7.

Fly in next Tuesday from the east coast. I look at the long range forecast. I see the forecast high is 92 and it might reach 100 just out to the west. 

Fuck right off. 

Definite, definite bullshit.

I guess on the plus side, it's showing improved rain chances?

Shoulda come yesterday instead.  It barely hit 65 at my house, and the forecast high is 70 today.

Temps look like they come down into the mid-upper-70s by the end of next week, that's some nice, cool April weather.

We have a day or two over 90 almost every year in April.  

What about a day that's four degrees higher than the record set 50 years ago and is in March, not April. 

Friday is when we really crank up the heat with record-shattering warmth expected. It’s a unique recipe coming together of Friday to push our temperatures 10-15 degrees higher. The warm air in place will be squeezed & compressed under the Friday afternoon sunshine ahead of a pacific cold front. That squeezing action in the atmosphere pushes temperatures higher than we would normally see. As a result, I’m forecasting 94 degrees in Austin which will beat the daily record of 90 set in 1974.

Come on man, there will be plenty of time to bitch about the Austin heat.  Now, is not that time.  This is a pretty darn decent outlook going out almost halfway through April.

76 degrees on Easter Sunday is pretty nice. I won't comment on the predicted rain, since I expect it will never rain in Austin again, anyway.

Definitely in a pattern. Amazing at how well the projected rainfall matches up with spots that are not in a drought... not just in Texas but the entire country.

Little Rock's tv guys appear pretty shook overall. It looks like there's gonna be a ton of damage as the tornado was on the ground across their metro area.

I don't know that I've ever seen the "high" probability on those severe weather maps.

Last time I remember was that storm that rolled through here last March and dropped the Round Rock tornado. There was a small High area and we were in the bullseye.
