| Episode Narrative |
An upper level low pressure system located over northern portions of Mexico in combination with east to southeast surface winds pulling in abundant amounts of Gulf moisture and providing upslope flow, led to the development of showers and thunderstorms across west Texas and southeastern New Mexico. |During the overnight hours on early Sunday morning, showers and thunderstorms moved out of northern Mexico into southwest Texas. Additional thunderstorms developed over the higher elevations of southwest Texas leading to pre-sunrise severe weather in the form of hail and flash flooding across the southwest portions of the County Warning Area. As the morning progressed, a large area of embedded showers and thunderstorms moved northeastward across southeastern New Mexico and the Texas Permian Basin producing occasional severe weather, before exiting into the South Plains of West Texas. |With antecedent conditions remaining in place, the additional boundaries left by morning convection and daytime heating led to thunderstorm re-development by early Sunday afternoon and a significant severe weather event that affected much of the area into the pre-dawn hours on Monday morning. |
