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

ACL Day 2 continues to be muddy. Dare I say, "Blame it on the Rain"? - Milli Vanilli

[Jim Redick @JimRedick]

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. 🌧️☔️

[Jim Redick @JimRedick]

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 @ https://t.co/LnStxvoKnU, 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 https://t.co/hG3gRuM9eD.

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 https://t.co/hG3gRuM9eD.

@Bowen4Austin - Please stand by for an explanation from Austin Emergency Management (@AustinHSEM).

[ATX data @data_atx]

D8 candidate @Bowen4Austin gives a plea for more transparency from staff yesterday

The context is that staff asked for an extension to a million $ consulting contract to help w/ COVID FEMA reimbursements , but didn’t give any details on the reimbursements until Paige Ellis asked and still haven’t provided much detail 🤷

[Jim Redick @JimRedick]

Today's conditions remain the same. Please stay off the roads!!

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:

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! 😆
