| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A plume of middle and upper tropospheric subtropical moisture streamed northward over west Texas during the first few days of July. Scattered showers and thunderstorms produced locally heavy rainfall each afternoon and evening starting on the 1st and persisting through the 3rd. Although little to no adverse public impacts were observed from the rains through the first three days of the month, the remnants of former Atlantic Hurricane Alex spread northward within the persistent tropical moisture plume and began to impact the west Texas South Plains during the late evening hours of the 3rd. ||The remnants of Hurricane Alex brought the onset of widespread tropical rains to the South Plains region, with rainfall rates measured to exceed 4.00 inches per hour in some locations. The heaviest rainfall occurred along several convective bands that spanned southwest to northeast over the southern and central South Plains. Thus the most adverse impacts were experienced over portions of Terry, Lubbock, Lynn, and Garza Counties, where isolated locations received more than one foot of rain through the early morning hours of Independence Day.||The Fourth of July flash floods and floods brought extensive damages and economic loss to the area. Local and state officials estimated these losses to approach $16.5 million. The State of Texas declared several South Plains counties a Disaster Area, and federal assistence was requested. In spite of the dramatic agricultural and property damages, no serious injuries were reported. ||Remnant flooding, generally near swollen playa lakes, persisted and resulted in prolonged closures of several roadways and highways until the 10th. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Scattered showers and thunderstorms initially began to produce rainfall around midday on the 1st. This activity gradually evolved toward heavy tropical downpours, especially during the evening hours of the 3rd through the morning hours of the 4th.||Although no heavy rains were occurring at the time, wet pavement from earlier heavy rains contributed to the hydroplaning of a vehicle on U.S. Highway 84 near Post around 23:30 CST. The vehicle reportedly came to rest 60 feet off of the highway in a canyon area along the Caprock escarpment. No significant injuries were reported.||The Texas Tech University West Texas Mesonet measured storm rainfall totals that included: 9.78 inches at Post, 9.08 inches at Graham, and 5.88 inches at Lake Alan Henry. Local newspapers reported unofficial amounts between 10.00 and 12.00 inches in western Garza County. |
