When it rains in Texas, it pours. This is from Friday, the second day of almost all-day rain which is expected to continue throughout today and finally start to taper off tonight. There are flooded streets and swollen creeks all over the place. The lakes are still low because their watershed hasn’t gotten that much yet. But it will. El Nino is not even cooking yet, but it’s coming. Flashfloods ahead.

LCRA meteorologist Bob Rose says they could be a comin’ before sundown and into the dark:
"Large hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes will all be possible late today. In addition to the severe storms, moderate to heavy rain is forecast which will increase the potential for flash flooding."
The rancho’s hatches are all battened.
UPDATE Bob updates his forecast, noting a tornado watch until 11 p.m. and a flash flood watch overnight for these slow-moving storms coming northeast out of Mexico. Average rainfall anticipated 2 to 3 inches with isolated totals near 4 inches. The lakes they will rise again. Radar’s not very impressive at 7:44 p.m. Hope it stays that way.
