Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAn upper level disturbance leading a cool front into Deep South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley sparked numerous showers and thunderstorms, some with heavy rainfall and gusty winds, across the South Texas Plains around noon on May 12th. Boundaries from these storms clashed with warm humid air and enough deep moisture to create a slow moving line of torrential rain producing thunderstorms, beginning in eastern Jim Hogg County by intensifying into northern Brooks and the King Ranch of Kenedy by early to mid afternoon. The line accelerated through Brooks County, producing 1.5 to more than 2 inches of rain in about an hour before surging toward the coast by late afternoon.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeA developing line of thunderstorms, containing torrential rains, moved through northern Brooks County during the early afternoon producing pockets of poor drainage and nuisance urban-type flooding along Highway 281 in Falfurrias. The Brooks county Sheriff department reported twelve inches of water was on Highway 281 and South FM 1418 by 315 PM CDT; less than an hour later, one and one half feet of water was also reported in several other locations along Highway 281. Most of these locations have become flood prone due to overpass/bypass construction, which has caused clogging of normally well draining areas along the highway.
