This time until 1 a.m. Radar shows big line of super cells moving in from the west, but slow enough that they may not arrive shortly before midnight.LCRA meteorologist Bob Rose concludes:

"A Flash Flood watch has been posted for the Hill Country and Central Texas regions through Thursday morning. Rain amounts between now and midday Thursday should average between 1 and 2 inches, with isolated totals of 3 to 4 inches possible. Since the ground is still wet from recent rains, the potential for flash flooding is high."

Big storms

The storms that rolled through the rancho seem to be over. A friend emails from Florida hoping we weren’t in the place where the baseball-size hail knocked a Texas TV station off the air. Not that I can find on Google news. Probably Dallas-Fort Worth area. Not in Austin. We got the southern tail end of this big one, a once-in-twenty-years storm that’s already bringing heavy spring snows elsewhere and will rake the South next before turning to the Northeast with flooding rains. It was a wimp here, although we’re still under a tornado watch until 2 a.m. It looked on the weather service radar like San Antone got it worse, including some super cells.
