Tornado Watch hoisted for San Antonio and Austin in S Central Texas. Sure looks like a long night ahead.

Of course, I’ll be in florida. It will probably dump ice and snow here when I’m gone. :lol: :roll:

We lost power about 10 min ago.. according to centerpoint should be on around 8:30. The wind (a few trees in the way) has to be the culprit

Winds have been near tropical storm force at times today across our Region. It has certainly created problems for air travel throughout the afternoon and I saw a report of a couple of injuries on a flight inbound to Austin earlier this evening. That squall line to our West means business this evening. The dynamics associated with this potent Winter Storm are impressive. Stay weather aware tonight folks.

Dew points are crazy high for late December. The atmosphere is like a loaded gun tonight.

Are they part of the partial shutdown? I know they'll keep working, regardless of payment.

We are at 1.48 inches already in Montgomery County under scattered showers today with many lined up to come over the next two hours. Main event will probably push us over 3 inches, maybe 4.

Had power outages in our neighborhood due to the winds. They were howling today.

Doesn't look like we are concerned with any discreet cells in our neck of the woods, just a squall line.
