TEXAS FLOODS-Here’s a radar loop from the main event. From Thursday afternoon, July 3rd, through Sunday evening, July 6th. A leftover “plume” of tropical moisture from the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry surged north into the state, in combination with elevated moisture from the eastern Pacific from Hurricane Flossie. A shortwave trough emerged from the northwest along with some upper spin from the Gulf, and aided the formation of an MCV over central Texas. Starting late Wednesday, a funnel of this tropical moisture began feeding into the Hill Country, and along with the approaching shortwave, fueled the development of the MCV or (mesoscale convective vortex). This “spin” or the MCV, continued to produce widespread tropical downpours and thunderstorms overnight into Friday morning, July 4th. A burst of low-level air and moisture transport, what’s called the LLJ (Low-level jet) also continued to funnel moisture in to this MCV and continued storms overnight. This was where the bulk of the flooding occurred, and filled downstream rivers and tributaries. Each subsequent day brought bursts of convectively-driven showers and storms that would further exacerbate the flooding situation, on top of what already fell. This continues today, with more showers and storms forming as we speak. #txwx #TexasFloods

#DFW - Latest Timecast check for Tuesday's @WFAA weather alert day. Storms should approach from the Red River in the AM. Around midday, storms should roll through most of DFW. A few could be strong to severe with winds/hail. This will begin to clear south, late. #txwx #dfwwx

Terrifying. Look at the SPEED of that water. That’s what central Texans are and have been dealing with.

Devastating. This is a loop over the past ~42 hours, beginning on Thursday, July 3rd, around 4pm, through now. {Tropical remnants, combined with a retrograding upper low (TUTT) out of the Gulf of Mexico and a shortwave trough, all supported this deadly flooding event through daily convection in this tropical airmass, and a resulting MCV that formed and evolved from 7/3-7/4. PWAT values were very high. This became a battle of attrition, as daily heavy rains accumulated and led to flash flooding, a few flash flood emergencies in the heaviest of cells, and serious downstream river flooding. All of that rain HAD to go somewhere.} A brutal several day stretch for central Texas. #txwx #ctxwx #atx #austin #CampMystic
