episode_narrativeAn upper level trough remained situated out to the west in Northern Mexico and the Southwest U.S. A very unstable airmass developed during the afternoon hours across South Texas triggering thunderstorms. An upper level shortwave rotated out of Mexico during the afternoon providing increasing large-scale ascent, divergence aloft and steepening mid-level lapse rates. Thunderstorms initially began as supercells across the Rio Grande Plains and Duval and Jim Wells counties during the afternoon and early evening, producing large hail and heavy rain. The supercells organized into a squall-line during the evening and moved east across the Coastal Bend, producing heavy rainfall and flash flooding. A wake low formed over the Coastal Bend behind the squall line as it moved into the offshore waters during the late night and early morning hours. High sustained winds of 40 to 50 mph, with some gusts over 60 mph, developed over the Coastal Bend, Victoria Crossroads region and the bays and nearshore waters. Damage associated with these winds was mainly confined to tree limbs, however a tug boat in Port Oconnor was reportedly damaged. See High Wind event entry as well as wind entries under Gulf of Mexico for further information.
