| Episode Narrative | Strong upper level disturbances combined with above average moisture levels and favorable upper level wind patterns to produce a round of severe thunderstorms that eventually trained and produced excessive rainfall and flash flood during the afternoon hours of the 26th and on into the overnight and early morning hours of the 27th. Rainfall totals of 6 to 10 inches were common over the north and northwestern parts of Harris County into Waller, Montgomery, and Washington Counties, with much of the rain falling in a 3 to 6 hour period. Portions of Washington County recorded over 12 inches of rainfall in a 3 hour period. This event was the fourth federal disaster declaration for Harris County in the last year. |
| Event Narrative | Isolated straight line wind damage, mainly in the form of downed trees, was found across Montgomery county (particularly the southern 2/3s part of the county). However, the it appears a definitive tornado track started in western Conroe from in and just west of the Canyon Creek subdivision off of Longmire Rd. This small tornado tracked generally west-northwest to the south of FM 3083 for about a mile. The strongest winds, likely reaching 90 mph EF1 range, was near the start of the tornado just to the east of Longmire. Most of the rest of the tree damage was consistent with EF0 winds before the tornado dissipated. |
