| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A stationary complex of thunderstorms dumped an estimated 8 to 10 inches, with pockets of a foot or more (12 inches) of rainfall, near and just east of Roma between daybreak and noon, producing widespread flash and areal flooding beginning during the mid morning of the 18th, and continuing through mid to late afternoon. The complex was the result of the combination of an upper level disturbance acting on a plume of deep tropical moisture, which enhanced the lifting of this moisture through a low level southeasterly jet streak moving from the Lower Rio Grande Valley northwest into the Rio Grande Plains and Rio Grande Highlands. Conditions began to improve by late afternoon, well after the rains had ended.||Farther east, development of intense thunderstorms in northwestern Tamaulipas province, Mexico, eased north into southern Hidalgo County during the evening, dropping at least 4 to 6 inches in a 3 hour period. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Developing multi-cellular clusters of intense thunderstorms moved slowly across Hidalgo, Mission, Sharyland, and west McAllen during the early to mid evening of the 18th, dropping copious rainfall in a 3 to 5 hour period, but not producing anything more than nuisance minor flooding as of this writing. ||The evening rain dump, combined with moderate to locally heavy amounts during the early morning hours, left up to 8 inches for the calendar day. Daily rainfall totals include a record 5.38 inches at McAllen/Miller International Airport, and between 4.69 and 5.10 near Mission. Of the 5.38 which fell at Miller Airport, 4.46 of it occurred roughly between 6 PM and 10 PM CDT. |
