Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA series of upper level disturbances, an unstable atmosphere and an approaching cold front produced showers and thunderstorms across portions of Deep South Texas throughout the day May 24th. During the early morning hours, a small thunderstorm complex intensified over the western portion of the Lower RGV before accelerating through Weslaco, La Feria, Brownsville, and South Padre Island then raced into the Gulf. Wind gusts to 50 mph or higher along with brief but frequent cloud to ground lightning strikes caused damage around daybreak. After a hot and sunny day, another round of storms crossed the Lower Valley during the mid evening, producing more hail and severe wind gusts.
