Well as soon as this thread was posted - I get a severe thunderstorm - thundering and rain and more rain and more rain again. I agree with the flood watch. Just which way is all that rain in the Hill Country moving? East - if it is - I'm going out there and building my ark....
I think this is trying to make up for our 10 inch deficit. And David(Vbhoutex) left town.

Map Updated above @ 11am eastern!
..Flash Flood Watch Continues For Parts Of South Central Texas And The Texas Hill Country Until 600 Pm Saturday...
..a Flash Flood Warning remains in effect for Medina and Uvalde counties until 1015 am.
The Flash Flood Watch includes the following counties... Atascosa... Bandera... Bastrop... Bexar... blanco... Burnet... Caldwell... Comal... DeWitt... Dimmit... Edwards... Fayette... frio... Gillespie... Gonzales... Guadalupe... Hays... Karnes... Kendall... Kerr... Lavaca... lee. ..Llano... Medina... real... Travis... Uvalde... Williamson... Wilson and Zavala.
A persistent upper level storm system located over the Mexican plateau will continue to feed abundant moisture and instability into south central Texas. As the system remains nearly stationary... it will continue sending upper air disturbances into the area through Sunday morning. The resulting heavy rains will continue to be a threat to areas prone flash flooding and low lying flooding of rivers and streams.
The main focus of heavy rain will extend from along the Interstate 35 corridor including the Austin and San Antonio metropolitan areas to the western Hill Country and Rio Grande. Rainfall amounts of one to three inches with isolated three to six inch totals can be expected today in the watch area.
At 940 am... National Weather Service Doppler indicated heavy rains covering a large portion of the area... extending from southern Uvalde County through Medina... Bexar... Bandera and Kendall counties. Rainfall rates of three quarters of an inch to one and one half inches per hour will continue for the next couple hours. San Antonio International Airport reported 2.11 inches of rain over the past four hours as well as Hondo Municipal Airport running at nearly 4 inches.
A Flash Flood Watch means that the flooding of streams... creeks... and low lying areas is possible within the watch area. Motorists should remain alert for heavy rains and avoid driving through low lying areas or into high water. Do not drive around barricades.
The National Weather Service in Austin San Antonio has issued a
* Flash Flood Warning for the following counties... Medina Uvalde
* until 1015 am CDT
* at 725 am... weather service Doppler radar indicated very heavy rain across much of Medina and eastern Uvalde County. Rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour will persist for the next couple of hours. Hondo airport has reported 2.12 inches of rain as of 7 am. The additional rainfall will cause streams to continue to rise. Persons along Hondo and Seco creeks should be especially cautious.
Excessive runoff from this storm will cause flash flooding of small creeks and streams... highways and underpasses. Additionally... country roads and Farmlands along the banks of creeks and streams and other low lying areas are subject to flash flooding.
Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross safely. Vehicles caught in rising water should be abandoned quickly. Move to higher ground.

...Fire Weather Watch Remains In Effect For Saturday Afternoon In West Lolo...Salish And Kootenai Reservation...East Lolo...
bitterroot-deerlodge/west Beaverhead... east Beaverhead (zones 106 through 111) for increasing winds and low relative humidities...
******************************************************************** winds have diminished and humidities are beginning to recover this evening in the deerlodge and Beaverhead National forecast. Therefore the red flag warning has ended.
Fire Weather Watch for tomorrow... we will see a brief air mass change Saturday as a system moves down from British Columbia. This will increase winds across the district... but most notably in the Montana zones. Humidities will improve some over extreme northwest Montana where we could even see some shower and thunderstorm activity. However... west central and southwest Montana will be slower to react to the increasing moisture. A Fire Weather Watch remains in effect for those areas Saturday afternoon
The National Weather Service in northern Indiana has issued a
* Flash Flood Warning for... Adams County in Indiana Blackford County in Indiana Grant County in Indiana Huntington County in Indiana Jay County in Indiana Wabash County in Indiana Wells County in Indiana
* until 1100 am EST
* at 803 am EST... National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms with very heavy rain over Cass and Miami counties moving east at 25 mph. Rainfall over the warned counties overnight has ranged from 2 to 5 inches with local amounts over 7 inches. Addition rainfall of 1 to 2 inches over the next 3 hours will cause flash flooding due to the already saturated ground.
Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway.
To report severe weather have the nearest law enforcement agency relay your report to the National Weather Service forecast office in northern Indiana.

It's been raining pretty hard here the last hour or so but nothing severe. My NWS radar won't open for some reason...here's another:

We're still in a rain deficit but it's slowly improving.
It has let up now and just light rain falling. I'll take whatever I can get.
They are getting soaked near San Antonio!! Is that a low spinning over them causing all this rain? It doesn't seem to be moving. :o

Well its finally stopped here. I was knocked off line for awhile and the weather was so bad that it knock the satelllite TV out for over two hours. Lightning and thunder with lots of rain. But looks like the area is cleared out right now - will it regenerate this evening - I don' t know. Its gray and overcast and generally yucky outside.
