The threat of hazardous weather transitioned from severe local storms to flash flooding around midnight on the 5th as an extensive complex of thunderstorms propagated slowly east over the west Texas Upper Trans Pecos region and the Permian Basin. Extensive rainfall that accompanied this activity resulted in road closures and a few high water rescues of stranded motorists during the overnight hours. No injuries were reported.
