Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA series of convergent feeder bands associated with Tropical Storm Arlene, which made landfall nearly 300 miles south of the area along the northern State of Veracruz coast, dropped welcome tropical rains on the Lower Rio Grande Valley during the morning and early afternoon of June 30th, putting a definite dent into the water year (since October 1, 2010) drought in Cameron, Willacy, and eastern Hidalgo County. Overall, between 1 and 4 inches fell in the region. Much of the rain was moderate, though heavier bands created pockets of urban flooding in Cameron County. ||A small but potent thunderstorm developed during the evening in very unstable air left behind by the outer bands, in extreme southern Hidalgo County. Low level wind direction and speed shear were sufficient to create a rotating cell, which developed a quick but damaging tornado around 6 PM CDT.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeFeeder bands associated with the fringe of Tropical Storm Arlene, which made landfall 300 miles south of Brownsville, dropped a total of 3 inches at Brownsville/South Padre Island International Airport between 7 AM and 2 PM CDT, with the heaviest rains falling from mid morning through early afternoon. Media accounts (videos and still photos) showed the typical urban flooding in low lying areas of the city, particularly from along and near Boca Chica Boulevard through Downtown. CoCoRaHS observers in and near the city recorded generally 2 1/2 to a little more than 3 inches during the same period.
