This system then pushed south through North Texas early the morning of June 19. As the front continued southward and the shortwave propagated eastward, a second round of showers and storms developed across Central Texas on Saturday, June 20. The primary hazard accompanying these storms was flash flooding, though a few instances of damaging winds were also reported.
