It's pretty safe to say that everyone here in the Austin area keep a close eye on that storm. It's definetly heading this way and since it has a history of being tornado warned, it's a good idea to monitor it. Hopefully nothing will happen.

EDIT: Storm has weakened while the southern end has strengthened. Just gonna see some rain and lightning..

It looks like it is weakening in the latest loop. The rotation is breaking up as it hits the rain shield in front of it. Getting light rain with some hunder here now.

My parents (near SH 249 and Cypress Creek) lost power from the tornado warned cell. Looks like the rotation passed a little south of them.

Yeah, the models kind of gave up on those perfect H5 passes. The longer range cold still looks to be legit, for now.
