Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeThe atmosphere became extremely unstable across South Texas during the afternoon of May 10th, ahead of a slow moving cold front. Temperatures ahead of the front climbed into the low 100s, and RUC analysis indicated MLCAPES exceeding 5000 J/KG across the Middle Texas Coastal Plains. Rapid thunderstorm development began around 21Z, as the cap eroded, cold front moved into the region, and sea-breeze boundary began to push inland.
