Welcome rain

Posted on January 9, 2011 | Comments Off on Welcome rain

KVUERadar1911Most of the heavy rain is off to the east of I-35, but at least it’s clearing the air around the rancho of juniper pollen. Probably not for more than a day, tho’.

Cold front and rain

The first cold front of the season? Probably. Anyhow, it’s drawing moisture out of the Gulf and producing thunderstorms and steady rain. Over an inch so far at the rancho. Been a fairly wet year. Hope it continues. Had enough drought, after a hot and unusually dry August. But LCRA’s Bob Rose says it’ll return next week.

Under the gun

Severe weather developing over the next few hours as a big cold front moves across Central Texas. Meteorologist Troy Kimmel expects we’ll see some action at the Rancho. So I may be offline a while.

Troy says, "I do expect thunderstorms to develop with some thunderstorms possibly becoming severe with the primary risk being damaging straightline thunderstorm wind. A severe weather watch may be issued over the local area within the next few hours. You can see the NWS/SPC discussion and associated graphic for this mesoscale discussion [here]."

UPDATE Turned into a nice, soaking rain of half an inch to an inch and a half over much of the area. No wind damage or hail at the Rancho.
