4,808 first-hand accounts of flood events in Texas, ranked by impact. Each is a NOAA-written narrative of the moment.
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.

Read the full account →February 15-16 Episode NarrativeA large area of rain, with embedded thunderstorms, moved across Texas. This rain was the result of a slow moving storm system that affected the region. The rain was widespread and heavy at times.
Read the full account →Deep moisture in place across west Texas combined with weak upper level disturbances and surface boundaries to produce scattered thunderstorms beginning Tuesday and continuing into Wednesday.
Read the full account →Heavy rainfall during the early morning hours of the 28th produced widespread amounts of 4 to 6 inches across the north central part of the county.
Read the full account →West Texas was in between two upper ridges with a cold front that had stalled along the Davis Mountains. Upper level disturbances within the upper flow moved over the area.
Read the full account →Scattered showers and thunderstorms persisted over the Coastal Bend into the coastal waters as an upper level disturbance interacted with deep moisture over the region. The showers and storms produced flooding in the Coastal Bend during the morning hours of the 1st.

Read the full account →An upper low moved in from the west over a moist southeasterly flow, providing the necessary instability and vertical wind shear for severe weather.
Read the full account →An upper level low over the Big Bend region combined with a surface low over South Texas to generate thunderstorms. The airmass in which these storms developed was very moist with precipitable water values above the 90th percentile of the long term record.
