Ain't nothin' like last week, but keep your eyes peeled for severe storms LATE tonight (after midnight) primarily to the northwest of Austin.
Level 2/5 risk for hail, winds, and a quick tornado. Slow-moving storms could also produce flash flooding

The third and final day of severe weather this week is poised to be the most widespread & significant.
Level 3 out of 5 risk in Austin for the first time in nearly a year. Storms quickly turn severe after 12 PM today with very large hail, damaging winds, and an isolated tornado possible

WEATHER ALERT DAY - Severe storms are likely for more of us Thursday afternoon->evening.
Level 1 out of 5 risk for now, but I think that will change. Very energetic atmosphere will fuel a very large hail + damaging wind gust threat 4 PM -> 10 PM tonight

Storm chances are back on the menu, but the first course is... questionable.
Classic conditional setup on Wednesday afternoon/evening. If updrafts can pop through the cap, a few intense storms could drop big hail & gusty winds. If the cap holds, nothing burger.

A necessary ingredient for better storm chances comes with an unfortunate side effect: Mosquito population boom for the next ~6 months.
The swamp is rolling in which will keep morning/evening temperatures firmly in swarmin' territory. Apologies in advance

No major changes to our weekend storm plan.
🔹Saturday: Just a 30% chance for rain/storms, and severe weather is unlikely
🔹Sunday: 12-7 AM storms in the Hill Country with hail/wind threat. If they hold together, could be stormy near Austin between 7-11 AM

Windy through Friday, stormy by Sunday?
Not for everyone, but it's our best chance in a LONG time. NW Texas storms will make a run at the Hill Country late Saturday night with some hail/wind in tow.
What's left of those storms could run into I-35 before lunchtime Sunday. 50% chance overall

Another melancholy cold front day in Central Texas.
Spike in temps ahead of it, briefly closer to average in its wake, and not a drop of rain along the way. I'm tired of this, grandpa

Did some data digging and the results are nausea-inducing.
Since the start of 2022, only 9 months (!!!) have produced above-average rain in Austin.
That's a 29" deficit, nearly a full year's worth of rain. It's worse in the Hill Country where the deficit is 30-40"

Happy cold front day I guess.
It'll help a *little* with lower humidity and highs in the 80s Friday and Saturday, but today, it's public enemy #1. Compressional heating ahead of it pushes highs to the 90s, and stale air will accumulate ozone through early this evening. AIR QUALITY ALERT in effect

Coldest morning in more than a year has arrived.
Life-threatening wind chills now dropping to/below zero. My recommendation: Wear every layer you own, like Randy from "A Christmas Story"

Pssssst. It's snowing in Austin and much of the I-35 corridor.
Sneaky, saturated low-level atmosphere behind the cold front is what is producing these flurries. It's mostly falling as needles, a specific kind of snow formation unique to this atmosphere.

Brutal, brutal, brutal cold this morning. Put on every layer you've got.
Single-digit wind chill temperatures already as of 5:30 AM, and we'll keep dropping through about 9 AM. Odds are, we won't get above freezing this afternoon

Everything you had to do back in January.
Pipes prone to freezing need to be covered. Drip a few interior faucets. Keep pets inside. Cover up outdoor plants. Protect yourself with lots-o-layers, and check on friends/neighbors/family that may need some help
