4,808 first-hand accounts of flood events in Texas, ranked by impact. Each is a NOAA-written narrative of the moment.
Convection formed over the northern Mexican mountains during the afternoon and evening of August 20 beneath an upper level trough over the southern plains. This convection eventually formed into a mesoscale convective system as a low level jet developed overnight.

Read the full account →There was an upper trough over West Texas that extended from northern Mexico northeast to the Great Lakes region. A couple of remaining thunderstorm outflow boundaries were across the area, and there was good moisture present.
Read the full account →A weak upper level ridge was over the region with upper level disturbances which provided lift that moved over the area. There was abundant moisture and weak mid to upper level winds across West Texas.
