| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A vigorous upper level disturbance crossing from Southwest Texas into the Big Bend Region helped intensify a Gulf Low, or Texas Nor'easter, just south of the mouth of the Rio Grande River late on December 15th and 16th. Moderate to heavy rain developed across the region overnight on the 15th, and continued through the day and evening of the 16th as the system gradually tracked northward along the coast.||Event total rainfall in Hidalgo, Cameron, Willacy, and southern Kenedy County ranged from 3 to 4 1/2 inches, with peak values occurring in the more populated portions of the area including Pharr and McAllen in Hidalgo County, and Brownsville through Harlingen in Cameron County in particular.||The steady rains, falling on increasingly saturated soils, eventually produced pockets of nuisance flooding in typically poor drainage locations across the Lower and Middle Rio Grande Valley from mid morning through early evening on the 16th. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Rain, heavy at times between the pre dawn hours and mid afternoon on the 16th, accumulated to more than 2 1/2 inches between midnight and noon at McAllen's Miller Airport and likely across nearby areas including Pharr and Edinburg. The rainfall caused widespread, nuisance (minor) flooding of poor drainage roadways especially in Pharr and Edinburg during the daylight hours of the 16th, slowing traffic. Event totals in Hidalgo County were among the highest in the Rio Grande Valley, including 4.22 inches at La Joya, 4.40 inches a little north of Pharr, and 3.66 inches at the McAllen/Miller Airport. |
