Im blaming the cap and lack of instability in that department, herzog said last nights storms fell apart due to stable air over se texas and the upper level winds were pushing those storms into lousiana , im still optimistic about next week providing much better opportunities

Yes. Cap, stable air, etc. All of it....but WHY?
Why is this happening so frequently - in just this relatively small geographic spot?

The. Sun. Set.

Active to the NW:

The Hearne cell is trying to backbuild. But we're running out of sunlight.

That's one dark cloud. It's starting to weaken about 5 miles from the casa. We got lucky yesterday - can we get a twofer?

Beautiful storms!

Beautiful storms!

That was a quick coalescing into a line of cells. It's amazing how Texas weather can go from a potential bust to potential entraining in just a few minutes. lol

I see mammatus clouds to my north. It’s definitely May.

[jasons2k]

Strong one.

[Cpv17]

And it’ll go poof by the time it makes it S of I-10 lol

[DoctorMu]

Strong one.

I think the hail core will make it to Conroe, maybe the Woodlands.

[tireman4]

Will it make it to Humble. .

Day two of severe storms here and tomorrow is progged to be the worst yet. Got hail both times and was close to catching a tornado in today's storm.



Wall cloud before dropping the Briggs tornado.


This was the tornado on the ground between Georgetown and Briggs.

Thanks for sharing all those photos. Nice start on the yard. Hope you are enjoying the new job and location away from the swamp.

It's been BUSY between life, work, and yard work.

It's starting to pay off. I can enjoy looking at a nice yard. Still getting used to Austin area though. 1/4 the population but every bit as congested on the roads.

Right. The dry line that triggered storms for Don will be moving into the I-35 corridor.

I didn't expect rain today when I got up this morning. We've had 0.72 inches.

Landscaping with limestone always looks great. The lollipop live oaks add that central Texas character. Monkey grass is a good touch. Plus the Georgetown and Austin areas have slopes and shifts in elevation that enhance the look of yard landscaping.
