Read the full account →A volatile atmosphere was in place across the Southern Plains during the afternoon and evening hours of Monday, May 9th. Instability became moderate to high ahead of an upper level disturbance that moved out of the Intermountain West and into the Plains.
Read the full account →An upper low over the region, outflow boundaries from thunderstorms the previous night, and a weak cold front that was moving slowly south across the area were the causes of thunderstorm activity across parts of West Texas.
Read the full account →Weak disturbances were moving around an upper trough over the Texas Panhandle and Oklahoma. Daytime heating and air lifting over the higher terrain combined with moist southeast surface winds to create conditions for thunderstorms.
Read the full account →Numerous showers and thunderstorms developed during the overnight and early morning hours on June 13th across East Texas, near and east of a weakening upper level closed low and attendant trough over Central Texas.
Read the full account →The Coastal Bend experienced a significant heavy rain event that began on the morning of May 15th and ended on the morning of May 16th. As much as 10 to 15 inches of rainfall occurred across the south side of Corpus Christi, Flour Bluff, Ingleside, and Aransas Pass.

Read the full account →This was a multi-day severe weather and flood event. It started with a large-scale upper level low pressure system which deepened over the Four-Corners region. Moisture and instability increased in advance of this system.
Read the full account →West Texas was under the backside of a ridge with a dryline across the area which provided lift. Good instability, moisture convergence, and high convective available potential energy was present along and to the east of the dryline.
Read the full account →Moisture was moving over the region ahead of an upper trough that transitioned into a closed low and moved over the Northern Plains. An area of increased upper level winds as well as an upper level disturbance was over the area as a result of this upper pattern, and a surface…
Read the full account →An upper level disturbance moved over the area, and a lingering frontal boundary was across the Permian Basin. Upper level lift associated with an area of intense winds aloft moved over the region.
Read the full account →There was an upper level trough over much of the northern and western half of the nation which resulted in west to southwest winds aloft over West Texas. An upper level disturbance moved over the region where there was abundant moisture and instability in place.
Read the full account →An upper low over Arizona with southwest winds brought in moisture across West Texas and southeast New Mexico. An upper level jet associated with the upper low helped to provide lift in the atmosphere.
