Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA broken line of thunderstorms marched across the Rio Grande Valley through the late afternoon and evening hours and combined with other development across Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas, Mexico to form a convective system. This initially stabilized the atmosphere and held back development. However, the continued flow from the east/northeast ran into northward moving boundaries from storms in Tamaulipas/Nuevo Leon to form a severe storm over Port Isabel and South Padre Island, with the first report of large hail at 745 pm LST. Soon after, outflow from this storm would link up with others from the Mexico storms and a small but potent local convective system soon formed between Harlingen and Brownsville. Downburst winds, reached 58 mph at KHRL and knocked down a number of power lines, blew some shingles off one apartment complex, and blew off at least one poorly fastened carport on the east side of Harlingen. Strong winds from the south, once again, due to the sharp difference in high and low pressure within the region ��� propagated through the Lower Rio Grande Valley, producing a 60 mph gust at KHRL just after 12 am LST on the 19th and causing additional damage to at least one tin roof (Bass Boulevard, west side) and at least one fence in town. Additional minor damage may have occurred in Brownsville during the same period, as the peak wind at KBRO reached 54 mph at 1255 am LST on the 19th. In addition intense rains dropped generally 2 to 4 inches in Brownsville, with several known poor drainage intersections seeing nuisance flooding.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeBrownsville Police Department reported water covering roads with cars being stuck in the water along portions of Palm Boulevard, Boca Chica, Alton Gloor, and Expresway 77. CoCoRaHS observers reported rainfall totals of 3 to almost 4 inches.
