Had 3 waves of giant sleet/ small hail move through my area of Austin.

I need to contact my uncle at his ranch at Valley Spring in northwestern Llano county. Looks like it should be snowing there.

Uhmmmm, why does it look like for all intensive purposes, that the storm is digging into Central Texas? Can we wobble watch a winter storm??? Could it split into to 2 LPs? One diving for the coast and one ejecting NE? It looks like its behaving rather interestingly.....just my two shillingsworth....

I was thinking the same thing. It appears to be digging, if you watch the radar in motion.

I have heard something several times but every time I go out to look it's just raining. I don't know how far you are JDawg512, but we haven't seen anything yet.

Made husband move stuff in garage because I thought we might get hail and I wanted to put my car inside. So far no hail and a husband who is starting to not believe it when I tell him NWS says hail.... and a wee bit annoyed I had him move stuff

NAM certainly a little interesting. Maybe it's picking up on the slower movement and a little further east? A lot of dynamics to play with

Right? That trowal feature is interesting along I-35 in southern Oklahoma and northern Texas--looks very intense.

So much dynamics involved. Like mixture/snow to the SW/S but cold rain N/NE

I live litterally 4 blocks southwest of South Austin Hospital, just south of Ben White 290/71, in between S.1st and Manchaca.

I have a video when the first wave hit. I'll see about putting it up on YouTube. It was quick, I'd say no more than a minute or two. These storms were racing through, not sure what the speed was but wouldn't be suprised if they were moving well over 35 mph.

Local stations have user pictures on their websites, hail seems to have missed us. I'm NE Austin - almost in P'ville

still looks like the storm is digging on Radar, but can radar make that look deceiving?

Yea we just started getting that heavy rain a couple of minutes ago. It is very heavy actually! & As im typing the winds are really picking up. It would be awesome to get some sleet/hail out of this.

Radar can be deceiving because the ULL is pulling moisture back on the western side. Water vapor might be a better view. It's moving due east from Del Rio
