What happened

The episode as NWS SJT wrote it up.

Ample rainfall fell in June and generated monthly precipitation totals well above average for many of the coop observers across West Central Texas as well as for the San Angelo, Abilene and Junction airport stations. Average rainfall reported from coop observers in June was 7.22 inches. The highest monthly rainfall total of 13.98 inches was reported in Callahan County. Coop observers in Brown, Coleman, Callahan, Mason, Runnels, San Saba, Shackelford, Sutton and Throckmorton Counties received over ten inches of rain in June.

Numerous showers throughout the first half of the month across the area generated flash flooding over localized areas. Toward the end of the month, the moist conditions had soils nearly saturated and more widespread runoff was noticed. From June 24 through 29, a weak upper level low pressure system slowly wandered across Central Texas. Periods of very heavy rainfall associated with the weak upper level system produced considerable rises along area streams and rivers. River level rises were noted from the Clear Fork Brazos River basin to the Llano River basin.

The San Angelo Regional Airport received 5.54 inches of precipitation during June, which was 3.02 inches above normal for the month. This was the fifth wettest June on record at San Angelo. The monthly normal rainfall for San Angelo in June is 2.52 inches.

The Abilene Regional Airport received 7.86 inches of precipitation during June, which was 4.80 inches above normal for the month. This was the sixth wettest June on record at Abilene. The monthly normal rainfall for Abilene in June is 3.06 inches.

Junction received 4.96 inches of rain in June. The estimated average monthly rainfall in June is about 3.75 inches.

Coop Observer Rainfall Totals for June, 2007:

The following counties received federal disaster declarations because of flooding to damages to county road infrastructure: Throckmorton, Shackelford, Callahan, Coleman, McCulloch, Mendard, Mason and San Saba. The following counties received federal disaster declarations because of flood damage to individual property and public roads: Runnels and Brown Counties.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX
1157 PM CDT THU MAY 31 2007

.AVIATION...
STORM COMPLEX MOVING ACROSS NORTH TEXAS OVERNIGHT SHOULD STAY
NORTH OF MOST TAF SITES...BUT A FEW SHOWERS COULD SKIRT CLOSE TO
KABI AROUND 8Z TIME FRAME. OTHERWISE...LOW CLOUDS MOVING IN AGAIN
OVERNIGHT WITH MVFR CEILINGS LIKELY MOST AREAS BY 12Z. LOW LEVEL
JET KEEP WINDS A BIT GUSTY OVERNIGHT AS WELL. CLOUDS SHOULD BURN
OFF BY 14-15Z. ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT FRIDAY
NIGHT TOWARD THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD...SO LEFT OUT OF THE TAFS
FOR NOW.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1025 PM CDT THU MAY 31 2007/

UPDATE...
THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX CONTINUING TO HOLD TOGETHER LATE THIS EVENING
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PANHANDLE NEAR LUBBOCK. THE BULK OF THE
STRONGER CONVECTION APPEARS TO BE MOVING MORE EAST THAN SOUTHEAST
AND SHOULD STAY TO THE NORTH OF MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA.
HOWEVER...THE NORTHERN BIG COUNTRY...ESPECIALLY HASKELL AND
THROCKMORTON...STILL MAY SEE A GLANCING BLOW FROM STRONGER STORMS
AFTER MIDNIGHT. A WEAK LINE OF STORMS EXTENDS SOUTHWARD INTO THE
PERMIAN BASIN AND WILL LIKELY IMPACT THE REST OF THE BIG COUNTRY
AND NORTHERN CONCHO VALLEY OVERNIGHT...BUT NOT EXPECTING THESE
STORMS TO BE AS STRONG. WITH THIS IN MIND...HAVE INCREASED POPS
FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT MAINLY NORTH...AND EXTENDED POPS A BIT
INTO THE MORNING TOMORROW TO ACCOUNT FOR THE PROPAGATION OF THE
MCS THROUGH THE NIGHT. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR SEVERE
POTENTIAL FOR NORTHERN COUNTIES AS LOW LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS LATE
THIS EVENING...BUT EXPECT BULK OF THE STRONGER STORMS TO STAY A
BIT NORTH OF THE AREA. NO OTHER CHANGES AT THIS TIME.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 647 PM CDT THU MAY 31 2007/

AVIATION...
SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ACROSS FAR WEST TEXAS AND
ADJACENT PARTS OF EASTERN NEW MEXICO MAY SURVIVE THROUGH
MUCH OF TONIGHT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LOW-LEVEL JET.
ANTICIPATE THAT THIS WILL REMAIN WEST OF THE TAF SITES HOWEVER.
SCATTERED TO BROKEN COVERAGE OF HIGH CLOUDS FROM THIS CONVECTION
WILL OVERSPREAD WEST CENTRAL TEXAS THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT.
OTHERWISE...EXPECT MVFR LOW CLOUDS TO DEVELOP AND EXPAND ACROSS
ROUGHLY THE EASTERN TWO-THIRDS OF WEST CENTRAL TEXAS TOWARD
MORNING. THE CLOUD COVERAGE WILL DECREASE ON FRIDAY...WITH
CEILINGS AND BASES CLIMBING INTO THE VFR CATEGORY. WIDELY
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE BY LATE FRIDAY
AFTERNOON...BUT LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN PLACEMENT PRECLUDES A
MENTION IN THE TAFS A THIS TIME.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 314 PM CDT THU MAY 31 2007/

SHORT TERM...
DIFFUSE FRONTAL BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO LIFT NORTH ACROSS WEST
CENTRAL TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON...AND MAY WELL END UP AS A NON FACTOR
IN THE WEATHER TONIGHT. IN ADDITION...OUTFLOW BOUNDARY HAS SURGED
BACK WEST...BUT EVEN THE CU FIELD NEAR IT HAS BEEN WEAKENING OVER
THE LAST HOUR. CAP HAS HELD SO FAR...ALTHOUGH SHOULD WEAKEN SOME
THIS EVENING AS A SHORTWAVE SEEN ON WATER VAPOR APPROACHES. MAY
SEE A FEW STORMS ON EITHER OF THE BOUNDARIES THIS EVENING...BUT
MAIN FOCUS WILL BE FARTHER WEST. STORMS MORE LIKELY TO ACROSS THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF NEW MEXICO AND FAR WEST TEXAS...AND GIVEN THE
EXPECTED STORM MOTION...MAY MAKE IT INTO THE WESTERN OR NORTHWEST
COUNTIES PROBABLY WELL AFTER MIDNIGHT. LOW LEVEL JET ABOVE 50
KNOTS ON THE NAM CERTAINLY CONDUCIVE TO AN EXTENDED SURVIVAL AS
WELL. WILL BOOST POPS INTO THE CHANCE RANGE...AND WAIT TO SEE
WHERE AND WHEN THE STORMS DEVELOP.

FRIDAYS POPS DEPEND LARGELY ON WHERE ANY RESIDUAL OUTFLOW ENDS UP
TONIGHT. HATE TO MENTION POPS ACROSS ALL OF WEST CENTRAL TEXAS
JUST ON WHERE THE BOUNDARY ENDS UP...SO WILL CONFINE TO THE BIG
COUNTRY FOR NOW.

LONG TERM...
NORTHWEST FLOW SETS UP FOR THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH
THE POSSIBILITY OF CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES AT NIGHT AND RESIDUAL
BOUNDARIES DURING THE DAY. NOT MUCH CHOICE BUT TO CONTINUE POPS
FOR MOST OF THE PERIODS. BEST ODDS MAY END UP SUNDAY NIGHT AND
MONDAY...WHEN FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES INTO THE AREA AS WELL.
