Rain, rain go away

Some parts of the Hill Country have had almost three inches of rain since midnight. Much of it is under a flood watch until 7 a.m. tomorrow. The National Weather Service says the usual tropical moisture from the Gulf of Mexico is being augmented by high-level Pacific moisture from Hurricane Henriette. The radar images certainly show it: masses of green and occasional blobs of yellow moving northeast from out of the southwest–in other words, in the direction of where Henriette is poking around on Baja California. I just hope it doesn’t start Lake Travis rising again.
