Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeNortherly flow on the back side of a departing upper level disturbance, combined with hot, humid, unstable air along the Rio Grande to promote several areas of strong to severe thunderstorms. More than an hour of heavy rainfall produced urban flooding in La Joya between 330 and 4 pm, with high water continuing through 430 pm. The large storm cell surged from northeast Cameron County through Bayview, then on into Brownsville between 4 and 445 pm. Additional cells formed on outflows and continued the heavy rains west of Harlingen through around 6 pm, with between 3.25 and 4.7 inches having fallen. Scattered reports of large hail, urban flooding, frequent cloud to ground lightning strikes, and pockets of wind damage to tree limbs and power lines was common.||The last surge of intense storms occurred just before sunset, as remnant boundaries fired in a small area of southern Starr County, around and just north of Rio Grande City. An intense but brief updraft surged into the storm and resulted in reports of quarter sized hail or larger.
