Ever wonder why the rain often misses Austin? TexasThunderman has answers.
One advantages of spending 30+ years forecasting in Texas is recognizing local weather patterns in the forecast area. As a meteorologist who has seen hundreds of storm events unfold across the region over time, you begin to recognize patterns that storms often follow, even if there’s no obvious reason for that outcome.
Then, as the line moves into eastern Travis County, the storms quickly re-intensify and rage again as they push eastward. The result is that heavy rain falls both west and east of the city, but little or none in the central part of Austin.Strong storms suddenly lost intensity as they emerged from the hills west of Austin, only to fire again across the eastern edge of the city.It’s the kind of thing that drives this forecaster crazy, and sometimes it seems like a dome actually exists.
To the west, the land is a much higher elevation and quickly drops lower, as illustrated in this geographic cross-section.So what is happening with storms here?
