Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeConvection fired ahead of a weak early season cold front as it pushed slowly across central Texas. As this convection entered into the brush country and ranchlands during the evening hours of August 1, it encountered an environment rich in moisture and CAPE. Some of the storms became strong and produced frequent cloud to ground lightning, wind gusts of 30 to 40 mph and heavy rainfall. The slow moving to nearly stationary thunderstorms produced estimated rainfall rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour. The runoff from this excessive rainfall led to 3 to 4 inches of water moving over some of the low-lying areas on roadways.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeHeavy rainfall of 2 to 3 inches led to excessive runoff across US 83. Zapata County Sheriff's Deputy reported 3 to 4 inches of water over US 83 along the Zapata Webb County line.
