I'm guessing it's an over-reaction to criticisms the City of Austin received after shitty communications during the most recent ice storm.

Well, that ice storm just popped up at the last moment and was moving 60mph and....oh wait, it was a fucking ice storm they predicted well in advance (just not how bad it would be).

Bunch of supercells well ahead of the line wreaking havoc up north. Line has formed out west and is mostly t-storm warned already for strong winds. Looks to be about 4-5 hours out still.

First Tornado Warning of the line just popped just east of Breckenridge

 

And another one right at Winstar, but it's Oklahoma so who cares.

Most of the worst will be north of us, if just north. Gonna be a good spread of tornadoes in NE TX into SEC country tonight. Not pretty.

For ATX, wouldn't surprise me if a Severe Thunderstorm Watch is issued, but the models have kept the Big Red Target NE of us up to now, so that's not changing. Biggest worry is straight line winds over a 5-6 mile spot somewhere, and hail in very scattered pockets. I ain't really worried about it at this point, luckiest guess is some poor spot around ATX will get some quarter sized hail and wind damage. But pinpoint. That's what I see right now.

Line has formed but southern end is ebbing and flowing, north half is pretty nasty, around Waco to Metroplex... we'll see what happens as it hits warm air somewhere around us. 

We'll know by about 6:30 what we're in for if anything... bulk of it should hit about 7-8 in ATX. I won't be back unless bad things start to happen 'round here.

Existe el riesgo de tormentas severas esta tarde y noche. Se esperan vientos dañinos. Por favor, guarde o asegure los artículos sueltos. Tornados aislados y granizo son posibles. Conozca sus lugares seguros para refugiarse y asegúrese de tener una manera de recibir alertas y advertencias.  ¡santa mierda!

La mayor parte de lo peor estará al norte de nosotros, aunque solo sea al norte. Va a haber una buena propagación de tornados en el NE de TX hacia el país de la SEC esta noche. No es bonito.

 

Para ATX, no me sorprendería que se emita una Vigilancia de Tormentas Severas, pero los modelos han mantenido el Big Red Target NE de nosotros hasta ahora, así que eso no va a cambiar. La mayor preocupación son los vientos en línea recta sobre un lugar de 5 a 6 millas en algún lugar y el granizo en bolsas muy dispersas. No estoy realmente preocupado por eso en este momento, la suposición más afortunada es que algún lugar pobre alrededor de ATX sufrirá daños por granizo y viento del tamaño de una moneda de veinticinco centavos. Pero puntualiza. Eso es lo que veo ahora.

 

La línea se ha formado, pero el extremo sur está subiendo y bajando, la mitad norte es bastante desagradable, alrededor de Waco a Metroplex... veremos qué sucede cuando golpee el aire cálido en algún lugar a nuestro alrededor.

 

Alrededor de las 6:30 sabremos lo que nos espera en todo caso... la mayor parte debería alcanzar alrededor de 7-8 en ATX. No volveré a menos que empiecen a pasar cosas malas por aquí.

Got the first tornado warnings in southern Oklahoma and east of Sulphur Springs.

I'll defer to you weather experts, but it looks like the potential supercells have moved out of Texas, except that to the east, certainly out of the Metroplex.  Now we await the squall/dry line and what it brings on its forward edge.  Just severe tstorms for now.

lulz, I just checked my email to find a note from Austin Water letting me know that as of now, all systems are a go. However if they do need to implement additional conservation measures, they will be back in touch. There must have been some major league ass chewings handed down from top to bottom after that ice storm. From now if two birds fart at the same time, we're gonna get an update.

Just wanted to duck in to say that if you're getting alerts in Spanish, you shouldn't worry unless you're Hispanic. Those storms never hit English-speaking peoples' houses.

Don't get me started...

Anyway, I won't be back (?).. hopefully.

Pretty nasty cell near the bottom of the line going through Gillespie right now. Looks like some hail and strong winds. Just fyi, still has a lot of ground to cover before it gets here. Most of it will skirt north of metro. The northern Travis and Georgetown keep an eye out.

Here it comes.  Lots of frigging live oak leaves to blow around and make noise.

I expect to lose power.

Dude on Channel 5 (not Harold Raft RIP), just said there’s a POSSIBLE circulation headed towards downtown Dallas…BE SAFE!

All Austin metro about to get severe thunderstorm warning, pea-size jail and 70 mph winds in many spots. Going to be a fun 20 minutes.

Wind picking up. Looks like a little hole might open up around the land of MILFs and honey?
