BREAKING: I know it's early, but I'm expecting a flash flood warning to go into effect at 11 AM on Saturday in Austin.
A mix of longhorn sweat and tears will lead to rapidly rising water levels in DKR. Please plan accordingly! Turn Around, Don't Play Bama

Hi, welcome to Texas, where we serve Summer or Winter and nothing in between!
Currently an 80° difference in what it feels like between Amarillo and Brownsville

TWO YEARS FROM TODAY: The "Great American Eclipse" will carve a path of totality right through the heart of Texas.
For up to 4 minutes, near-total darkness will occur in the middle of the afternoon. Austin, San Antonio, and DFW are included.
Mark your calendars!

Here for SXSW? Welcome to Austin!
Loop-1 doesn't loop
Loop 360 doesn't loop
Every hour is rush hour on I-35
We experience at least two seasons each weekend
Please don't move here. Enjoy your stay!
Good news! HEB is selling eclipse cakes, which means we can all eat our feelings on Monday as the clouds roll in and block the view of the actual eclipse

Very happy for Fred this morning but stage 2 water restrictions are in effect... Which means you're not allowed to water after 5 AM.
Where do we send the $1,000 citation?!?
You are about to see this video of a turbine struck by lightning in Texas today all over your social media feeds.
...I wanted to make sure you saw it with the proper sound track.

Another shoutout to the "it's just summer in Texas" crowd:
On the final day of **spring**, parts of Central Texas hit 112-113°. San Angelo and Del Rio saw the hottest temperatures they've ever seen, in any month, ever.
Nothing about this is normal

Dorian has surpassed all expectations and is now the second strongest storm ever recorded in the Atlantic.
185-220 MPH winds, 20ft storm surge, and it will spend hours and hours right over the Bahamas. Unbelievable.
Thank you all for trusting me and giving me this platform to stand on. I couldn't do it without you.
Honored to take home an Emmy tonight for best weathercast in Texas 🙏
Long hurricane season ahead... And no one is asking for a hurricane to hit Texas...
...But this first "friendly" system missing us by the narrowest of margins is a gut punch. I make stupid memes to cope.

My excitement while making this week's forecast cannot be overstated.
IT'S HAPPENING
Two cold fronts, widespread rain and storms, and a real-life fall chill are set to cleanse Texas of its summer sins. I have details live on

If I had a dollar for every time someone who paid for twitter told me "it's just summer" as we set new records left and right, I could buy us all a new, cooler planet to live on
BREAKING: The unprecedented triple digit streak which stood at 45 consecutive days has ENDED in Austin.
High temperature at Camp Mabry topped out at "just" 99°

In the final 24 hours of this loop, Dorian has. not. moved.
That is 24+ hours of absolute devastation for the northwestern Bahamas. Hard to imagine what has transpired there.
Incredible flooding video out of Blanco County yesterday evening. 4-5" of rain in just one hour turned Miller Creek into a raging river near Johnson City.
The good news: Alllll of that liquid gold is heading downstream towards Lake Travis

W...what?? WHAT?
Temperatures are in the 50s and 60s behind the front, and that doesn't include any of the high population centers. Are you kidding me?!

Alert: Due to a combination of high gen outages typical in April & higher-than-forecasted demand caused by a stalled cold front over TX, ERCOT may enter emergency conditions. We do not expect customer outages. Declaring an emergency would allow us to access additional resources.
Whoaaa. Check out the Austin Airport this morning!
Light snow accumulation ongoing. I have a hunch this is lake effect snow coming off of Walter E. Long Lake in east Austin, being blown to the south

This ice storm will go down as one of the worst in Austin's history.
...But the scale of destruction among the tree population has been especially remarkable. Why?
Years and years of abuse:

Fun fact: 7.2 BILLION gallons of water has been added to Lake Buchanan in just the last 24 hours thanks to heavy rain upstream.
Currently, about 650 million gallons of water is flowing into Lake Buchanan every hour🙌
Three years ago today, all of Texas was simultaneously under a winter storm warning for the first time on record.
It started out great with the kind of snow we rarely enjoy this far south, then it quickly turned into a nightmare when the power grid failed.
TXANS Update—Jan. 14, 2024: ERCOT has issued a Conservation Appeal for Monday, Jan. 15, from 6 – 10 a.m. CT. Operating reserves are expected to be low tomorrow morning due to continued freezing temperatures, record-breaking demand, and unseasonably low wind. We request Texas…
It's official. "The Boy" has arrived.
El Nino conditions will continue through the end of the year and likely into early 2024. On average, that keeps us cooler and wetter in Texas

Shhh be quiet. The rain dome is deactivated.

Everyone meet Steve.
Steve walked outside and saw the roads were just wet. Steve thought "What's all this hooplah about, I can get there just fine!"
Steve was wrong
Steve hit black ice on an elevated roadway and crashed his Tesla.
Don't be like Steve. Stay off the roads.
Friends, family, comrades... There is light at the end of the tunnel.
To be clear, the tunnel is on fire, and record heat continues for the next 5 days. Then, finally, ~*pattern change*~
Rain potential increasing for early next week. Details now on

If there's anything I learned from the **lightning** storm last night, it's that far too many people don't know the difference between lightning, lighting, and lightening.
Here is some enlightenment:
Energy demand through ERCOT is expected to crest soon near 75GW, higher than expected.
But - the same wind that's blowing in this cold air is also supplying 1/3 of our current needs. Comfortable surplus in energy production remains
#txwx
Wind chill values of 5 to 10 below zero are possible by Tuesday morning when this cold reaches its peak... Firmly in the realm of dangerous cold by Central Texas standards.
Congrats to the guy that tried to knock me out in a parking lot last summer after driving into my car. His case is being dismissed!!! Not even a slap on the wrist!!! So happy for him!!!!!!!!!!
First full day in my 30s was not fun. After picking up my daughter from daycare, a guy failed to yield and side swiped my car. Fender bender, super minor deal, and should have been a quick exchange of info before going our separate ways.
Narrator: that's not what happened
1/ July will go down as the hottest in Austin’s recorded history (125 years of record keeping.) It will also go down as one of our driest on record. It holds our longest 105°+ streak in history... And somehow, August is looking worse.
Only thing better than being recognized for my work was having my mom by my side. Thrilled to take home best weather anchor & best weathercast in Texas tonight
@txbroadcasters
PSA if you were lucky enough to get rain today: EMPTY OUR STANDING WATER ON YOUR PROPERTY ASAP
The mosquito population has been wrecked by this drought. No puddles = no breeding. Don't give them the opportunity to make up for lost time
