A stalled frontal boundary over south Texas in combination with a upper level storm system moving out of the Southwest Portion of the United States resulted in heavy rains and flooding for the second time this month across the Edwards Plateau and the Northwest Hill Country. Rainfall amounts during the week of the 21st through the 25th were between 2 and 6 inches over much of the area. However, Crockett and Sutton Counties bore the brunt of the flooding with anywhere from 4 to 17 inches of rain.
