| Episode Narrative |
An upper level closed low, a shortwave trough, and a low level southeasterly moisture fetch all converged over southeastern New Mexico and west Texas. All of this led to an organized Mesoscale Convective System that moved across the area dumping one to three inches of rain and resulting in massive flash flooding in Ector County. While the main threat, and most of the resulting damage was due to flash flooding, moderate to strong CAPE existed across the area and produced up to softball sized hail. |
| Event Narrative |
Six to eight inches of water flowed over New Mexico Highway 18 and County Road 78. |
