Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA cluster of thunderstorms developed during the early afternoon of July 26th in western Cameron County and eased slowly through Hidalgo County during the remainder of the afternoon. The storms were fed by a combination of sea breeze enhancement on relatively deep moisture and weak upper level energy over the area. Radar and observational data indicated 2 to 4 inches fell across southeastern Hidalgo County.||While significant flooding was not reported, the cluster impacted the Lower Rio Grande Valley Flood Control Project (floodway system) in Hidalgo County, particularly the Main and North Floodways between Progreso Lakes and Mercedes. The additional water likely required an increase in pumping of water from poor drainage locations into the floodways themselves.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeHeavy rains, estimated by radar between 2 and 4 inches and measured by both cooperative and CoCoRaHS rain gages (between 1.84 and 2.97 inches), including 2.41 inches in Mercedes, 2.24 inches in Edinburg, and 2.47 inches in Weslaco. The core of the heavy rain fell between 1 PM and 330 PM CST and included Progresso, Weslaco, Donna, and Alamo. Nuisance urban-type poor drainage flooding likely occurred in areas of heavy rain; there was no indication of any enhanced flooding along the main and north floodway between Progresso and Mercedes.
