Event narrative

Heavy rain resulted in flash flooding in Culberson County. Ranch Road 652 had six to eight inches of water over the road in low-lying areas. Some oil lease roads got washed out and draws were rising fast and about to overflow. The cost of damage is a very rough estimate.

Wider weather episode

An upper level low pressure system was over the Arizona and New Mexico border. There was a stationary front across the area which provided additional lift over West Texas. Abundant moisture was continuing to move into the region. These conditions resulted in rain and thunderstorms developing and moving over the same areas producing flash flooding across West Texas.
