Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA weak mid-level trough of low pressure coupled with moderately unstable conditions across the Texas Panhandle and unseasonably high Precipitable Water values bring a combination of severe weather and heavy rain to the Texas Panhandle. While there were two distinct modes of convection, discrete and linear, both held the potential to produce periods of intense rainfall rates. One report from Amarillo (Potter County) showed that 0.22 inches of rain fell in a span of 5 minutes, which extrapolates to 2.64 inches per hour rainfall rates. Flash flooding was not reported in association with this heavy rain given the speed at which the storms moved across the area. However, the heavy rain was effective at causing typically flood prone areas to become flooded in Hutchinson, Wheeler, and Ochiltree Counties. Heavy rain moved out of the Texas Panhandle shortly after 11:30 PM CST.
