An upper level shortwave trough moved through West Texas and interacted with a dryline to generate thunderstorms. The airmass was strongly unstable with only modest vertical wind shear and high precipitable water. Storms evolved into a line as they moved across South Central Texas producing large hail, damaging wind gusts, and one tornado. They also produced heavy rain that led to flash flooding.
