Episode Narrative A weak upper disturbance moved slowly southward over southern New Mexico and far west Texas within a moist, unstable air mass. An approaching jet streak from the west along with low level easterly flow provided favorable vertical wind shear and sufficient lift for a severe weather outbreak.
Event Narrative More than 2.5 inches of rain resulted in flash flooding around Palomas. At least 5 homes were inundated and several cars were stranded in flood waters.
