The rainfall we picked up from Tuesday into Wednesday was the greatest rainfall in Central Texas in about three months.

Light to moderate rain showers began on Tuesday across Central Texas and continued through the overnight hours into Wednesday afternoon.
This provided ample opportunity to rack up our rainfall totals and after forecasting 2-4” across the area, that’s exactly what we received!

Here’s a look at some of our 48 hour totals:
Official Records: Camp Mabry in Austin: 2.49”
Austin Bergstrom International Airport: 2.25"

Bastrop: 2.76”
Buda: 3.36”

Lake Levels: We saw a good chunk of our storms move over the highland lakes.

Lake Buchanan is currently at 992 ft – Up ¼ ft from Tuesday, but still 19 ft below normal

We are under a severe drought across Central Texas.  However, we’ll see the effects of the rain, in our next drought update, issued next Thursday.

Rain showers are moving out of the area.  Check your latest weather conditions on our KEYETV Weather Page.
