The wider storm
An axis of training thunderstorms containing localized 3-4 inch per hour rainfall rates occurred along a well defined cold pool across parts of Central Texas and more isolated into parts of East Texas on the morning of June 12th. These thunderstorms resulted in localized heavy rainfall amounts across parts of Cherokee County. Thunderstorm inflow was characterized by 1500-3000 J/kg of MLCAPE, minimal CIN, 2-2.25 inch precipitable water values. As a result, this environment continued to foster even more thunderstorms upwind of the primary complex, which began to train given the parallel orientation of the steering flow to the cold pool and led to an isolated flash flooding report in Cherokee County.
Began near Tecula (31.9800, -95.2100).
