The combination of an upper level low moving northeast over Mexico and plenty of atmospheric moisture allowed scattered thunderstorms to develop across the Upper Valley and northern Mexico. These thunderstorms produced periods of heavy rainfall across Starr County, resulting in flash flooding in the SE corner of the county.
