We’re not going to get anything in Austin tonight, are we? Nothing on the radar. Never really warmed up at all today. No wind…

No, it looks like it all petered out.

Still have a chance tomorrow night or is this a big miss by the weather gurus?

I'm not putting a lot of faith in their predictions right now.  I guess I'll take the 2" and like it.  #claytonwilliams

Maybe a little more, but they really missed this time with the storms over the Hill Country.  It was a complex se up, so I'm not faulting the forecasters.  They are still pretty damn good, but sometimes mother nature throws them curveball.  At any rate, it's been a pretty damn nice spring.

Call your shots.

I live near 2222/360 and I guess the gauge on 360 will get 3.5" between now and Monday noon.

Also, this event seems big enough that @phdhorn should be here.

Shot high.

Sitting at 2.12" right now but apparently there is a little more to come before noon today.

Does it help as much if it drops straight on the lake?

Yeah sure it helps.  But the lake itself is just a small part of the catchment.  We need rain across the entire drainage basin, and a LOT of it.

So far Travis is up 0.7 feet.  It's a start, anyway.

In the end, it looks like the 3" - 5" forecast came to fruition... and maybe we get a bit more today?  It was good to see all that rain over Llano and near Travis last night.  

My backyard was over 6" (360/Bull Creek) since Friday - 2.75" Friday, .25" Sunday, 3.25" Monday evening, too bad it was downstream of the Lake Travis Watershed.

Damn. Have had 15" in about five weeks. Just happen to be in the bullseye. Just a few miles away the total is half that. I'm the most rain-loving person you'll ever meet, and this is too fucking much. That's about 45% of our yearly total in five weeks. The backyard is like a wet sponge.

I only wish it was on the other side of the lakes.
