| Episode Narrative |
Remnants of Tropical Depression Georgette moved inland from the Gulf of California and near west Texas providing moisture across the region, as a mid-level shortwave trough moved through southeast New Mexico and west Texas. The high moisture content contributed to torrential rains from showers and thunderstorms. This activity moved across the same locations resulting in flooding. |
| Event Narrative |
At 4:10 PM MST, a trained weather spotter relayed a report of up to 1 1/2' of water on Mesa Street in Carlsbad. A car was also stalled/flooded at the intersection of Blodgett and Mesquite Street. Flooding continued almost through 9:00 PM MST across Carlsbad. One foot of flowing water was reported to be flowing over Blodgett and Pate Streets at 8:40 PM MST. |
