There's more coming, no? Forecast shows another two windows of >50% chances - tomorrow afternoon and Sunday night.

Not over yet!

In fact... Here comes another wave that's building up as it approaches Austin. Or at least not being murdered by the dome.

Oh definitely some good chances. I was just surprised how fast/far it pushed east- models didn't show that yesterday.

Here's to getting every drop we can before the cold front hits.

coulda been a lot better for Lake Travis. LBJ looks good to the west / northwest so the drier spots for LBJ may be mitigated to an extent. Lake Travis watershed was mostly forgotten with the exception Marble Falls area and to a much lesser extent out near Fredericksburg. any in flows will have to come from LBJ for the most part.  Buchanan had some killer spots but I expect that water to stay there.

Everybody needs the rain.

Once the ground is completely saturated, then ideally it would fall into the Lake Travis and Lake Buchanan catchment zones.

But we don't get to choose so at the very least, this week, we can celebrate an important victory over the Austin FF.

I guess I wont complain, but most of it is just running off into storm drains at this point. We gotta shift this shit west. 

It's still good as this freshwater is needed in the coastal bays, in our case Matagorda Bays. The shrimp, fishlings, and oysters, especially the oysters, thank you for it.

Actually glad to see it. My area was in the bullseye and needs to dry out a bit.

Don't look now, but Lake Travis is up 1/4 foot since noon today!

3 inches! Now that's exciting!

llano is already coming back down, but it would be nice to get a foot or two out of this that would be something.

Short term lake level forecasts for Buchanan and Travis:

Buchanan
A rise of 1-2 feet is expected over the next 24-48 hours.

Travis
A rise of 1-2 feet is expected over the next 24-48 hours.

So not a lot but maybe the ground is saturated and the cold front will bring its own rain.

That’s awesome. The levels are low enough such that the lake will rise quickly initially. once the surface widens out it takes a lot more.

Man if we could get this kind of system again in a few weeks. That would be amazing. Sunday Monday looks promising but not 7-10 inches amazing.

That’s muleshoe bend. Water was moving fast in the video. This jet skier said he scooted up to MM47 and water was coming in pretty fast. That’s Turkey bend pretty far up. Only 1-2 feet but it’s good to see the flow anyway.
