Today's forecast, courtesy of @Weezer who will be at @MoodyCenterATX on Oct. 18!
Morning! Today's forecast calls for blue skies
The sun is shining in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped raining, everybody's in the play
And don't you know, it's a beautiful new day, hey
To quote B.J. Thomas: "Raindrops keep falling on my head." And according to the NWS, those raindrops will likely continue throughout the day and into tomorrow. 🌧️☔️
This evening's forecast, according to Bob Dylan: “A hard rain’s a-gonna fall.” 🌧️🎸
@NWSSanAntonio says the heaviest rain is expected tonight from 9pm–midnight. Be careful on the roads, monitor conditions @ ATXfloods.com, and remember: Turn Around, Don’t Drown.
🎩 Tip of the cap to @ebnewbohemians for their incredible rendition of Dylan’s classic 😉

During a storm, it’s hard to tell if there’s water on the road. If you encounter high water, don’t attempt to drive through it. If you must drive, stay away from creeks, trails, culverts, ponds, and other drainage infrastructure. 🙅🚗
Check for road closures at @atxfloods or atxfloods.com.

Durante una tormenta, es difícil saber si hay agua en la carretera. Si se encuentra con agua alta, no intente atravesarla. Si tiene que conducir, manténgase alejado de arroyos, senderos, alcantarillas, estanques y otras infraestructuras de drenaje. 🙅🚗
Consulte los cierres de carreteras @ATXfloods y atxfloods.com.
With @aclfestival coming up (and Austin being the Live Music Capital of the World) I’m giving the weather a soundtrack. Weather conditions and forecasts shared through songs and lyrics. 🎸⛈️☀️
First up: Today’s forecast, according to @TheOfficialCCR : “Who’ll stop the rain?”

With freezing temperatures on the way, it's always best to be prepared! Here are some best practices for dripping your pipes, just in case. Stay warm out there! 🍑🔥
Kudos to Michael Barnes (@outandabout) @statesman for such fascinating and informative stories about historic disasters in ATX. As suggested in this article, it happened before and could happen again:

Festivus at Captain Quack’s Soundspace in Austin!
Where can you Celebrate Festivus in 2025 #Festivus festivusweb.com/blog/where-c…
At this point I'm convinced ATX is the battleground for these two. The weather goes from hot to hotter to freezing with hardly any in between! 😆
ATX being a top city for veterans sparks an important question: how can we "recruit" our hometown heroes - with their leadership, discipline, experience, and continued heart to serve - to strengthen @AustinHSEM preparedness and response efforts?
