Like brief cloudbursts that have boiled up to dampen other parts of Central Texas lately, the Highland Lakes had its turn Wednesday afternoon.

Lower Colorado River Authority monitors recorded a top reading of 1.73 inches at the FM 2900 bridge at Kingsland to a little over a tenth of an inch in areas around Marble Falls, according to Bob Rose, chief meteorologist.

Amounts around an inch and a quarter to a half were recorded at Round Mountain, near Willow City in Llano County, on the Pedernales River near Stonewall and in Blanco. A Granite Shoals resident reported 1.15 inches.

It was the first chance roofers had to test their work since the April hailstorm.

While local residents woke to temperatures in the low 70s, Rose’s forecast through the weekend predicts triple digits once again.

Chances of the weak wave of low pressure pushing out of West Texas throwing up afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms across the region are expected to diminish until the hot, dry weather settles in for the weekend. Another cold front is forecast to sink into Texas early next week causing a chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms and a return to temperatures in mid to upper 90s.
