| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A little more than a day after a thunderstorm system brought more severe weather to the Rio Grande Valley, the last vestige of very unstable air held forth mainly along and east of Highway 77. Despite unfavorable upper level conditions, the combination of the unstable air with a trigger in the form of a wind shift/dry line which moved within striking distance of Highway 77 allowed a small but potent cluster of thunderstorms to explosively grow initially in northern Willacy County just before 4 PM CDT. These storms would produce south���moving outflows, which added to the dryline trigger. Additional storms would fire in only a half hour, working on the very unstable atmosphere (above right) to increase updraft speed and develop quarter to half dollar sized hail ��� at least ��� between west Harlingen and La Feria and points south between 515 and 545 PM. Once again, there was some damage to vehicles caught in the hail, much containing jagged edges. Many residents caught by surprise by the rapid development moved their vehicles under gas station canopies, car washes, and highway underpasses. |
