Awoke to find it had not rained overnight at all at the rancho, nor much of anywhere else around the Austin area. Big areas of storms still on the radar but still west of the Hill Country. Forecasts, however, bring it all in here by mid-day, just in time for Mr. Boy’s pickup from school, with rainfall rates of 1 to 4 inches an hour. So it’s too early to accuse the meteorologists of crying wolf.

Flash floods possible

Tonight’s forecast storms–brought to us by a low pressure system moving in from the west and colliding with an atmosphere laden with moisture from the Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico–could be memorable, according to Bob Rose. He was predicting on Friday 2 to 4 inches across the Hill Country, and that was still in other forecasts last night and this morning. The only problem is the ground is still wet from recent rains, so creeks and streams could rise rapidly enough for some flash flooding.
