What happened

The episode as NWS AMA wrote it up.

Portions of the Texas Panhandle experienced tropical-like precipitation which led to localized flash flooding during the evening hours of the 19th. The remnants of Tropical Depression Manuel streamed across the panhandle ahead of a slow southward progressing cold front. The increased moisture pushed Precipitable Water values into a climatological extreme range which provided thunderstorms with the potential to produce heavy rain. This heavy rain potential became a threat for flash flooding due to weak steering flow aloft. This flash flood potential was verified as two areas of thunderstorms developed across the Texas Panhandle during the evening hours of the 19th. The eastern area was positioned over Lipscomb County while the western area was positioned over southwestern Texas Panhandle counties. These thunderstorms moved very slowly which allowed them to remain over the same location for a couple of hours. Flash flooding was reported in the counties before the cold front increased in speed and forced thunderstorms southward. Flash flooding persisted in these counties for a few hours after the thunderstorms moved southward.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
633 PM CDT THU SEP 19 2013

.AVIATION...
TSRA MAY CONCERN THROUGH 06Z AT THE TERMINALS. MOST CONFIDENT THAT
KDHT AND KAMA WILL BE IMPACTED BY TSRA THROUGH THEN. IT'S POSSIBLE
THERE COULD BE SOME ADDITIONAL SHRA 08Z-14Z AT KAMA, BUT CONFIDENCE
OF THESE IMPACTING THE TERMINAL IS TOO LOW TO MENTION. BRIEF VLIFR
CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE WITH A DIRECT TSRA IMPACT.

COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE TERMINALS 02Z-08Z WITH WINDS
SHIFTING TO THE NNE.

HAVE MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT MVFR, POSSIBLY A BRIEF STINT OF
IFR, CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY IMPACT THE TERMINALS, BUT CONFIDENCE ON
TIMING IS SOMEWHAT LOWER.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 340 PM CDT THU SEP 19 2013/

DISCUSSION...
PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE COUPLED WITH DIFFLUENCE ALOFT AND A
COLD FRONT SHOULD HELP SET THE STAGE FOR SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE NIGHT ACROSS MUCH OF THE PANHANDLES. THE
COLD FRONT WAS NEARING THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE OKLAHOMA
PANHANDLE NOW. THIS FRONT WILL CONTINUE MOVE SLOWLY SOUTH THROUGH
THE NIGHT AND SHOULD BE SOUTH OF THE TEXAS PANHANDLE BY SUNRISE
FRIDAY MORNING.

HAVE LEFT A SMALL POP OVER THE SOUTHEAST TEXAS PANHANDLE FOR ANY
LINGERING ACTIVITY UNTIL ABOUT NOON.

SURFACE HIGH BUILDS INTO THE PANHANDLES FRIDAY NIGHT. THE LIGHT
WINDS COUPLED WITH CLEAR SKIES EQUALS COOL OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES.
FOR NOW HAVE ONLY GONE A FEW DEGREES BELOW THE COOLEST GUIDANCE
NUMBERS...SO THERE IS STILL ROOM TO GO DOWN.

ON SATURDAY...SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL RETURN AND TEMPERATURES WILL
WARM BACK UP TO NEAR NORMAL.

BRIEF UPPER RIDGING SHOULD KEEP SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY EVEING
DRY ACROSS THE PANHANDLES. BY SUNDAY NIGHT THE UPPER RIDGING WILL
SLIDE OFF TO THE WEST AND ALLOW AN FAST MOVING SHORTWAVE TO APPROACH
THE PANHANDLES. THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS STILL DISAGREE ON JUST HOW
MUCH MOISTURE CAN RETURN BEFORE THIS SYSTEMS APPROACHES THE AREA.
THIS DIFFERENCE IN MOSITURE CONTENT SEEMS TO BE CAUSING THE
DIFFERENCES IN RAIN CHANCES. HAVE HEDGED TOWARDS A CONCENSUS AND
HAVE BROUGHT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS INTO THE OKLAHOMA AND NORTHERN TEXAS
PANHANDLE LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. AFTER THIS BRIEF
CHANCE FOR RAIN, THE UPPER PATTERN WILL TRANSITION TO ZONAL FLOW
BEFORE FURTHER TILTIING TO THE SOUTHWEST BY MID WEEK. THE GFS IS
MORE PROGRESSIVE WITH BRING BACK AMPLE AMOUNTS OF MOSITURE WITH THIS
PATTERN WHERE AS THE ECMWF IS A LITTLE MORE CONSERVATIVE. FOR NOW
WILL KEEP THIS PERIOD DRY BUT IF A BETTER CONSENSUS FORMS THEN POPS
MAY NEED TO BE INSERTED.

FIRE WEATHER...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS MUCH OF THE
PANHANDLES THROUGH TONIGHT. THIS SHOULD KEEP FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS BELOW ELEVATED AND CRITICAL FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
SOUTHERLY WINDS MAY PICK UP EARLY NEXT WEEK...BUT LOWEST AFTERNOON
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE 20 PERCENT.
