The wider storm
On May 1, 2026, severe weather developed across South Texas as a shortwave trough moved eastward out of northern Mexico and interacted with a quasi-stationary frontal boundary draped across South Texas and the middle Texas coast. North of the front, a very moist air mass characterized by dewpoints in the lower to middle 70s combined with moderate instability to support widespread showers and thunderstorms. The combination of strengthening shear and organized storm structures supported isolated severe wind gusts.
Began near Port O'connor (28.4300, -96.4400).
