Hazardous, high water on roadways, in homes, and across cropland continued across nearly all of eastern Willacy County.

The wider storm

Moisture from Hurricane Patricia, additional lift from the slowly east'moving bands, and the approach of a front/wind shift from the ranchlands combined to produce a two hour period of blinding rains across most of Willacy, with the highest totals once again in the San Perlita'Willamar'Santa Monica area. Radar estimates of 3 to 6 additional inches in about two hours fell over areas inundated just days before. This new rainfall resulted in flash flooding across much of eastern Willacy County.

Began near Sebastian (26.3338, -97.7148).
