A deep trough across the western United States pulled copious amounts of tropical Pacific moisture across the region. This interacted with an approaching frontal boundary to produce widespread showers and thunderstorms in the area. These storms produced heavy rainfall which led to minor flooding across the southwest and south-central Texas Panhandle in the morning hours and minor flooding over the central Texas Panhandle during the evening.
