Read the full account →Severe thunderstorms developed over the central and eastern Texas Panhandle during the late morning and early afternoon hours and continued through the early evening hours. The storms produced large hail along with isolated thunderstorm wind gusts and flash flooding.
Read the full account →An upper level storm system remained quasi-stationary over portions of southeastern Arizona. Ahead of this upper low, an upper level disturbance moved around the periphery of the low which aided in the development of thunderstorms over southeastern New Mexico overnight.
Read the full account →During the late morning hours, an upper level disturbance slowly progressed over the area. At the surface, abundant low level moisture was available due to southeasterly to easterly winds.

Read the full account →Significant flooding occurred in the south and southeastern counties when up to 11 of rain fell during the late evening and overnight hours. The flooding rains were caused by large scale lift occurring over a moist but cool boundary layer.
Read the full account →A slow moving upper level system combined with a surface front resulted in a two-day period of moderate to heavy rain across parts of north Texas.
Read the full account →Moisture was coming into the area from Tropical Storm Octave in the Pacific Ocean. Additional low-level moisture was moving in from the Gulf of Mexico.

Read the full account →A deep moisture plume moved into the Rio Grande Valley with a low level convergence area setting up in the same area. This brought showers and thunderstorms to the El Paso area which stalled out near the Franklin Mountains.
Read the full account →Upper level disturbances moved over the region which provided lift. There was a plentiful supply of continuous moisture that came into the area, and there was good instability especially across the higher terrain.
Read the full account →Convection was widespread over west Texas on the 25th. The initial activity decreased from west to east during the afternoon hours, but not before resulting in very dangerous urban flash flooding across portions of the Permian Basin.
Read the full account →Widespread rainfall fell on very saturated grounds across North Texas and led to additional flooding across the region. The rain developed ahead of an approaching low pressure system as warm and moist air invaded North Texas.
Read the full account →General rains developed along and just east of the I-35 corridor in the eastern part of South Central Texas. Accumulations averaged 1 to 2 inches with isolated 3 to 4 inch amounts.
