A slow moving upper level storm system combined with abundant moisture to create torrential rainfall across much of West Central Texas. Rain totals of 3 to 6 inches were common across the Northwest Hill Country, Northern Edwards Plateau, and the Concho Valley. Many roadways became flooded and impassable, occasionally stranding motorists on the highpoints between flooded low water crossings.
