An upper level trough extended from the Mississippi River Valley southwest to Texas. Numerous boundaries were across West Texas from previous thunderstorms. High moisture and instability were also across the area. These conditions contributed to rain developing and moving over already saturated soils. This resulted in flash flooding across the Big Bend area of Texas.
