Flood in Aransas County, Texas

Report from mPING of Cropland/Yard Flooding.

Heavy rain and isolated flooding developed across central and south Texas during the early morning hours as deep convection expanded across the region. A very moist and unstable atmosphere with PWATs near 1.75 and MLCAPE around 2000 J/kg fueled thunderstorms capable of producing intense rainfall rates of 1-2/hour. These storms were largely driven by outflows, with limited low-level shear. As thunderstorms merged and propagated eastward, aided by steep lapse rates and minimal CIN, many areas saw at least an inch of rain, with higher totals in spots. While most locations remained below flash flood guidance thresholds, the heavier downpours caused some localized flooding.
