A modified tropical airmass remained over much of west Texas on the 29th. Thunderstorms initially developed in the Trans Pecos region of the state and across the plains of southeastern New Mexico. As this activity spread east over the Permian Basin and the Stockton Plateau, heavy rainfall resulted in flash flooding. The most significant flooding occurred in the city of Midland where several vehicles stalled when flood waters rushed down city streets.
