Any of the locals in the Austin or round rock area have any thoughts on the possibility of a hurricane coming in over the weekend?

Loooks like its tracking into Mexico...
Do residents in the central tx Austin area feel like hurricanes are an issue; for living further inland off the coast?

Make sure you have groceries, don't let your cars get low on gas. It's not so much about weather risks - everyone makes their way here and it messes up the supply chain. I'll do a grocery shop on Friday or Saturday, double everything, and keep the cars topped off.
I guess what I am asking is do hill country residents feel like hurricanes are a threat to them or far enough inland that a storm weakens by the time it reaches.
I've been here 30+ years, the worst I've seen is some high winds (30-40 mph) and decent rain. In other words, no different than the last strong storms that swept though a month or so ago.
We're too far inland.

Don't believe the local weatherman hype. It might rain. It might rain a lot. It might get windy. The grocery stores will be empty.
Or, if you're Jim Spencer, the hurricane will work its way up the Colorado River. The eye will center over Austin for a week and most of us will die.

Yeah unless you are on the coast hurricanes aren't the big bad boogeyman weathermen want you to believe. It might get ugly, but really by the time it gets to Austin its just a bad storm. The worst is when they stall out and sit on top of us resulting in too much rain.
Be nice if it stalled out west and filled up canyon lake and travis
I 30 plus years i round rock the most we have ever got was a couple of inches of rain. Not even buying extra at the grocery store

The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left. Ecclesiastes 10:2
I got 20" of rain in 3 days from Harvey living about 40 miles east of Austin. And it was windy, but hurricanes aren't a threat here unless the rain bands sit overhead and cause some flooding.
Frankly we could use the rain west if I-35

I'm in Georgetown and we had remnant of TS Hermine come over us one September night in 2010. 12" of rain in about 5-6 hours. That's the exception rather than the rule. And yes, Colorado and Guadalupe watersheds could definitely use any rain from any source.
We had the remnants of a tropical storm park over us 5 years ago or so. Crap ton of rain. Thats about it.

As a whole? No it's not a problem but there can be a lot of localized flash flooding and grocery store availability

Really hoping this is a lake filler. Really liking the current track but things can and will change.
At this point I'm just excited about the "cold" front tomorrow.

I'm enjoying seeing conditions allow for super early season storms. This is what it will take to get something eventually to park NW past SA and or ATX and fill some lakes. Weather will happen.
Right now it has a great track to have the 'dirty side', north side of storm, to come close to us. Lake Travis really needs some water.
Here's the latest track. If it stays that way looks like CTX could get some rain.
4:00 am track from the NHC. Definitely has moved east up the coast. Hopefully the Austin area gets a good, soaking rain out of this.
East Texas and the Trinity basin doesn't need more rain. The most recent eastern shift is not good news. We need to rain in the western half of the state and for that to happen it needs to make landfall south of Corpus Christi.
Currently right on the edge of any meaningful rainfall. Shift to the west would be awesome. Any shift to the east and Austin will get nothing.
Here are the latest rain totals possible Sunday night through Wednesday. This graphic will most likely fluctuate as #Beryl nears.#SATWX pic.twitter.com/UAun7cRcim

Sucks that even though Houston is going to get pounded that the hill country won't see any meaningful rain.
