As the big storms move into the Austin area, meteorologists are already talking about them denting the drought, maybe even bringing a big boost to the Highland Lakes, particularly Lake Travis which rose about 7 feet after the previous big storms, about two weeks ago. Some parts of the hills around Fredericksburg have already had well over 3 inches of rain, and it’s all headed our way. Flash flooding, for sure, of creeks and streams, with the watch for that extending to midnight. No sign yet of the Guadalupe or San Marcos rivers rising, however.
UPDATE Minor lowland flooding at 10 p.m., with Lake Travis expected to rise 2 to 3 feet (not enough, unfortunately), rain ending after midnight. Sunny 85 Tuesday with rain again Thursday and Friday.
















Good. You seem to be getting some water after all.
We got a goodish rain this night. And we are talking March 27, quite late for us.
Definitely the weather is not what it used to be 😉
