Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA series of upper level disturbances, lining up from south to north across northeastern Mexico into the Lower Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas, during the first full week of July, acted on residual deep tropical moisture left by a dissipating weak tropical wave at the end of June, to produce a prolonged period of cloudiness and locally heavy showers, which added up to an area average of 4 to 8 inches, with locally higher amounts, extending westward into Starr and Brooks County.||The heaviest rainfall was concentrated from eastern Hidalgo into Cameron County, where locally 9 to 10 inches fell in a few spots. Due to the spring and early summer drought, much of the rain was welcome relief for dry soils, though nuisance urban/poor drainage flooding resulted, particularly by the end of the wet period on July 7th and 8th.||Higher rain totals for the period July 1st through 8th included: 10.55 inches 5 miles south southeast of San Benito; 9.33 inches near Rancho Viejo, and 6.17 and 6.18 inches, respectively at Brownsville International Airport and Harlingen Valley Airport (all in Cameron County). In Hidalgo County, 6.31 inches fell at the Weslaco/Mid Valley airport, and 4.87 at McAllen/Miller airport.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeJim Hogg County Sheriff's Department reported the southbound lane of Route 16 experienced nuisance flooding, with one half to one inch of water covering the road for a distance of approximately 3 miles, approximately 13 miles southwest of Hebbronville.
