COLD TO RAINY
- From: zackshields
-
Description:
Another taste of Winter this morning with lows in the 30s. Most of the freezing temps happened north and west of Austin for the second straight morning.
The next storm system is coming into view. It is spinning west of California and will take aim on Texas as we wrap up the work week.
This will be a direct hit on us. It won't be like Sunday night when the rain was in and out of here. Expect multiple rounds of rain on Friday with a few storms that will stay below severe limits.
Here is what the computer model is showing. Enjoy the sunshine today because the clouds march in tomorrow.
The rain will soon follow late Thursday night into Friday.
The rain will be heavy at times and since we will get waves of rain the totals will add up.
The models are showing totals on the high end.
So the bottom line....Sunny today, cloudy tomorrow and rainy on Friday so we will trade in our jackets for some rain gear.

1ST FREEZE OF YEAR
- From: zackshields
-
Description:
Rain is gone and now the Winter-like chill will take over.
The latest cold front has made it in. It produced a tiny line of showers overnight.
Since the rain formed right on top of us the totals were low.
Behind the front it will feel totally different...mostly sunny, much cooler and breezy.

Tonight with the winds relaxing and the clear/dry conditions in place, raditional cooling will be
in high gear allowing temperatures to tumble quite a bit.
Here is what the model is showing for lows tomorrow morning.
Some spots in Hill Country will have a light freeze so freeze advisories have been posted.
Get ready for a taste of Winter.
Freeze warning for Llano and Gillespie Counties. Freeze watch that will turn into warning for San Saba and Mason counties.
Keep jackets handy for the next few days.

Audit the Fed
- From: indispair
-
Description:
Urgent Action Needed
You and I face our biggest challenge yet.
Mel Watt (D-NC), Chairman of the Monetary Policy Subcommittee, has sided with Fed and is working to gut substantial audit provisions from HR 1207. The bill Congressman Watt has sent to the full Financial Services Committee contains no audit of the Fed's monetary policy-making authority or transparency of the Fed's secret agreements with foreign central banks.
Without these provisions, a so-called "audit" of the Fed would be worthless.
The full Financial Services Committee is likely to vote on this bill either later this week or early next.
Congressman Ron Paul will offer an amendment to restore the provisions contained in HR 1207 to audit monetary policy and activity with foreign central banks. Thirteen of the 41 Democrats and all 29 Republicans on the Committee have cosponsored HR 1207, and if they hold the line, we will have the votes to win and restore our audit.
Pressure on the Democrat House Financial Services Committee members is critical! Below is a list of Democrats who have cosponsored. Please call them and urge them to vote "Yes" on the Paul Amendment. Click on their names to get their web contact information.
1. Rep. John Adler, NJ (202) 225-4765
2. Rep. Travis Childers, MS (202) 225-4306
3. Rep. Steve Driehaus, OH (202) 225-2216
4. Rep. Alan Grayson, FL (202) 225-2176
5. Rep. Rubén Hinojosa, TX (202) 225-2531
6. Rep. Suzanne Kosmas, FL Toll Free: 1-877-956-7627
7. Rep. Dan Maffei, NY (202) 225-3701
8. Rep. Brad Miller, NC (202) 225-3032
9. Rep. Walt Minnick, ID (202) 225-6611
10. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, CO (202)-225-2645
11. Rep. David Scott, GA (202) 225-2939
12. Rep. Brad Sherman, CA (202) 225-5911
13. Rep. Jackie Speier, CA (202) 225-3531
When contacting these members, remember that up to this point, these members have been allies on this issue. A civil yet firm tone should be kept during these calls. They should be thanked for their cosponsorship, told that Mel Watt's changes to the bill are unacceptable, and urged to hold the line and honor their promise to support transparency at the Fed by voting "Yes" for the Paul amendment.
It is also important that we contact Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and urge them to schedule a standalone, up or down vote on the real Audit the Fed bill.
Rep. Barney Frank: (202) 225-5931
Speaker Nancy Pelosi: (202) 225-0100
Now is a crucial time for Audit the Fed. If these 13 Democrats hold the line, we can win this battle. But, they must vote "Yes" on the Paul amendment when the full committee votes.
Sincerely,
This message is from The Audit the Fed Coalition: Audit the Fed
PLEASE FORWARD. - Blog post

BIG AUTUMN STORM
- From: zackshields
-
Description:
The sunny and gorgeous weather we enjoyed yesterday will disappear starting today with showers and storms moving in tonight. There is a very potent upper low spinning over the Four Corners.
It will produce feet of snow in the Rockies and then as it collides with the warm and moist air flowing off the Gulf, the storms will erupt in the middle of the U.S.
This upper low is more powerful than the last one. There is more energy rotating around it. The low will pull in the moisture and lift it rapidly leading to a severe weather outbreak.
The severe storms will start in the Texas panhandle into the Plains today.

Chances of damaging hail are shown below followed by damaging wind chances.

![day1probotlk_1200_wind[1].gif](http://media.kickstatic.com/kickapps/images/82263/photos/PHOTO_6290979_82263_4690568_ap_320X240.jpg "day1probotlk_1200_wind[1].gif")
Tomorrow we are in the slight risk area for severe weather. Main concerns will be with large hail and strong winds.
![day2otlk_0600[1].gif](http://media.kickstatic.com/kickapps/images/82263/photos/PHOTO_6291000_82263_4690568_ap_320X240.jpg "day2otlk_0600[1].gif")
This go around the line of storms should be in and out of here so rain totals will be lower than Monday's event.
It won't clear up immediately because another low pressure system will form west of us on Friday. This low will usher in more moisture and energy which will overrun the cool air at the surface. This interaction will cause overcast skies and on and off light rain as we wrap up the week.
We are still forecasting a sunny, dry and mild Halloween weekend!

FLOODING PICS
- From: zackshields
-
Description:
With the rain leaving Central Texas all the creeks and rivers are going back to normal. They are full but below flood stage. Lake Travis continues to rise. Now it is at 641'. It could go up to 644' by this weekend. Travis is still 40 feet from being full at least we are making progress. Here are some pictures of San Gabriel River near Georgetown after the heavy rain. The pictures were taken by Anthony Lira, a Junior from Georgetown High School.
Enjoy the sunny and mild weekend!!!! More rain heading this way by Sunday night.
