A broad trough with embedded shortwaves was positioned over the Southwestern US. This led to an active and wet period across West Texas and Southeast New Mexico. During the afternoon of the 10th, thunderstorms developed on the higher terrain of the Davis Mountains and moved east over the Stockton Plateau. One storm became nearly stationary, producing severe weather and flash flooding in and around Fort Stockton. The cost of damage was a rough estimation based on storm reports.
