Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA vigorous low pressure system swept across the Great Plains during the early morning hours of the 21st. A shortwave trough rotated around the base of this system and helped initiate showers and thunderstorms over the southern Texas Panhandle. However, the forcing was not sufficient for this convection to overcome the strong nocturnal inversion and tap into the marginal elevated instability. The strong deep layer shear easily toppled developing thunderstorms which led to brief periods of heavy rain. The water quickly receded once showers and thunderstorms ended over the city. The shortwave quickly moved to the east, shifting the favorable environment for development out of the Texas Panhandle by the late morning hours.
