Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeScattered showers and thunderstorms developed along a slowly northward advancing warm front during the afternoon hours of the 16th. As thunderstorms intensified they moved northward off of the warm front and into a highly moist environment already in place across the southern Texas Panhandle. The 6 PM CST upper air sounding from Amarillo (Randall and Potter Counties) showed that Precipitable Water values were 1.5 inches which is a climatologically high value for the middle of September. This high water content in the atmosphere allowed thunderstorms to produce periods of heavy rain. A thunderstorm that moved across Potter and Randall Counties produces periods of heavy rain which led to minor flooding. This minor flooding caused traffic issues across Amarillo however, no vehicles became stranded. The minor flooding dissipated quickly as precipitation moved north of the counties by 6 PM CST.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeScattered thunderstorms moved northward into the southern Texas Panhandle during the early afternoon hours of the 16th. These thunderstorms had access to a high atmospheric moisture content which allowed for periods of heavy rain. A member of the public in Canyon reported that heavy rain led to minor flooding on Cemetery Road on the west side of Canyon. This minor flooding cleared quickly as thunderstorms continued to move northward away from the city. No stranded vehicles or swift water rescues were reported in association to this minor flooding.
