The dry streak continues for Austin. Our last measurable rain was February 10th! But check out this rain at Buchanan Dam! Thanks to Scott Dukes for the video. Some parts of Mason, Llano, and Burnet County saw isolated storms and even some hail. All of the storms have dissipated and we're in for a quiet rest of Monday night. | Chikage Windler - Meteorologist
