The atmosphere finally gave in allowing some storms to move through Central Texas. The combination of the heat and an outflow boundary pushed the severe storm our way. Usually when a storm busts through the cap (warmer layer of air aloft) they become severe fast and sure enough it happened.

Here is a picture of the apparent tornado near Jollyville. Hard to tell if the rotating wall cloud/funnel is actually touching the ground making it an official tornado. Minimal damage reported in North Austin so we lucked out.

The same areas that got hit hard by hail in March got another round.

The lightning rate during the storm: 20,000 bolts in 30 minutes.

We want to thank all our viewers for the great weather pictures.

Drying out and heating up for the weekend. If we see some storms today they will happen south and west of us mainly near San Antonio.
