| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An upper level disturbance, sandwiched between a receding upper level ridge across the southwest U.S. and another ridge across Florida and the eastern Gulf of Mexico, drew deep tropical moisture northward from the Bay of Campeche and points south. Meanwhile, a vigorous upper level disturbance across the upper midwest and associated frontal zone extending from the Great Lakes southwest into North Texas helped trigger a thunderstorm complex, which initially surge into the South Texas Plains overnight on the 21st. The complex set off boundaries which sparked intense storms along the Rio Grande and into northwest Tamaulipas and northern Nuevo Leon, M��xico, a little after daybreak on the 22nd. By early afternoon, the combination of the disturbance, daytime heating, advancing outflow from previous storms focused on the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Intense, slow moving thunderstorms formed from Mercedes/Weslaco northeast into Santa Rosa, Harlingen, and Raymondville. The storms would gradually weaken as they edged toward Brownsville. ||On the 23rd, the surface low parked across Cameron County. Old boundaries, a pesky upper disturbance, and some heating into very unstable air triggered another round of tropical torrents from late morning through late afternoon. These rains inundated parts of the Lower Valley with 2 to 4 more inches of rain ��� some which fell in the same spots on the 22nd. ||Two day rainfall totals ranged generally from 3 to 6 inches across the Lower Valley, with peak values in a swath bounded by Weslaco/Progresso northeast to Raymondville, then southeast to Brownsville. Numerous instances of nuisance flooding, worse in areas where drainage was poor or debris had not been cleared from ditches or canals, were reported through the period. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Slow moving thunderstorms, containing more than an hour of torrential rains, dumped between 3 and 6 inches in central Willacy County during the early and mid afternoon of June 22nd. In Raymondville, up to a foot of standing water was observed by storm spotters and the county Emergency Manager; several roads were temporarily closed due to the urban/poor drainage flooding. No water reached structures. Observed rainfall ranged from just under 3 inches on the west side of Raymondville to 6.10 inches 6 miles east of Raymondville (San Perlita). Other minor flooding was reported in Sebastian (just north of the Cameron/Willacy County line), with backyards turning to low water lakes and streets with more than a foot of water in them.||The flooding in Sebastian intensified on the 23rd, reaching into properties as poor drainage structure in town (pipe structure) could not handle the heavy rains and flooding reached into the ground floor of a number of structures in town. |
