Numerous thunderstorms developed as a strong upper level disturbance moved through North Texas. Some of the thunderstorms were severe with the initial development of activity with large hail up to an inch in diameter. The event quickly transitioned into a heavy rain and flooding event as the storms developed into a slow-moving line of convection. The heavy rain fell on nearly saturated grounds and caused numerous flooding problems across North Texas.
