Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeOn the heals of the Friday April 16th system, another upper trough approached the Rio Grande Valley Friday night within a stronger wind flow aloft. Moisture levels were slightly lower early Saturday but the large scale lift with the approaching disturbance and cooler air aloft allowed for showers to develop after midnight Friday night across interior sections of South Texas. The rain became locally heavy, again, on the west side of Choke Canyon Reservoir. Localized rainfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches occurred bringing 2 day totals of 12 to 18 inches. Partial sunshine allowed for sufficient heating across the Coastal Bend on the morning of the 17th and low level speed convergence was present early in the morning. Instability values peaked on Saturday with surface-based CAPE of 2500 to 3000 J/KG. A weak surface boundary reflection of the upper level trough axis entered the Coastal Plains by early afternoon and thunderstorms became numerous. At the same time a weak sea breeze shifted slightly inland over the western portions of Kleberg and Nueces Counties. Increased upper level winds shifted from west to northwest with the arrival of a stronger upper level trough helped organize the thunderstorms which had developed in the very unstable air mass. By mid afternoon, a line of thunderstorms slowly moved through Jim Wells and Kleberg Counties producing a quick 2 to 5 inches of rain, significant cloud to ground lightning, and a weak EF-0 tornado on the King Ranch. The heavy rain resulted in additional flooding to parts of Jim Wells County which had already received significant rainfall during the week.
