An upper level low moved across Texas and combined with deep low level moisture to produce thunderstorms. Some of these storms produced large hail, damaging wind gusts, and heavy rain.

The episode as NWS EWX wrote it up.
An upper level low moved across Texas and combined with deep low level moisture to produce thunderstorms. Some of these storms produced large hail, damaging wind gusts, and heavy rain. The heavy rain led to some flash flooding.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Austin/San Antonio, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Nov 22, 12:23 PM CST, 2 hours 4 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX 1223 PM CST SAT NOV 22 2014 .UPDATE... PLEASE SEE THE 18Z AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW. && .AVIATION... SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ONGOING ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THE MOST CONCENTRATED ACTIVITY WILL BE ALONG AND EAST OF I-35 AND WE/LL CONTINUE TO MENTION VCTS AND TEMPO TSRA THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. FARTHER WEST AT KDRT...THE BETTER CHANCE FOR TSRA WILL LIKELY ARRIVE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY PERSIST ALONG THE I-35 CORRIDOR UNTIL MIDNIGHT...THEN CLEAR AS A PACIFIC COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1052 AM CST SAT NOV 22 2014/ UPDATE... A SLIGHT RISK OF STRONG TO SEVERE WEATHER CONTINUES ACROSS ALL OF SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS FOR THE REST OF TODAY INTO THE EVENING HOURS. A POTENT UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM LOCATED ACROSS NORTHEAST MEXICO IS FORECAST TO PUSH EAST AND OVER CENTRAL TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. BEST LIFT/UPPER DYNAMIC IS TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE SHEAR AXIS AND ABOUT TO CROSS THE SERRANIAS DEL BURRIO MOUNTAINS(NORTHEAST MEXICO). THIS AREA OF BEST UPPER FORCING WILL MOVE ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. LATEST SATELLITE IMAGES ARE SHOWING SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN COUNTIES AND THIS COULD ENHANCE STORMS DEVELOPMENT AND SEVERITY. FOR THE EASTERN PART OF SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS...CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN WITH NO BREAKS ANTICIPATED. THE MAIN WEATHER THREAT FOR ALL OF SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS TODAY....STILL LARGE HAIL AND DAMIGING GUST WINDS. CAN'T RULE OUT AND ISOLATED TORNADO OR TWO MAINLY ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST AND FAR SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES. HOWEVER...LATEST HIRES MODELS AND AREA FORECAST SOUNDINGS ARE INDICATING PWATS OF 1.37 TO 1.48 INCHES. THESE NUMBERS ARE ABOVE THE 2 STANDARD DEVIATIONS FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. THEREFORE...THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN IS LIKELY OVER SOME AREAS MAINLY ALONG AND EAST OF A MOUNTAIN HOME TO CASTROVILLE TO CAMPBELLTON LINE. AS OF NOW...ISOLATED RAIN RATES OF 2 TO 4 INCHES PER HOURS ARE BEING DETECTED BY EWX RADAR OVER GILLESPIE AND BLANCO COUNTIES. THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS AS THE UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM PUSHES TO THE EAST. EXPECT LOCALIZED FLOODING ACROSS AREA ROADS/HIGHWAYS/UNDERPASSES AND LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 658 AM CST SAT NOV 22 2014/ UPDATE... THE KDRT UPPER AIR SOUNDING JUST CAME IN AND IS SHOWING SUBSTANTIAL MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES ABOVE A LIFTING CAP. THIS CAP SHOULD COMPLETELY ERODE SHORTLY AS LIFT CONTINUES TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA. THE 700-500MB LAPSE RATES ON THE SOUNDING ARE PUSHING 9 C/KM. THE 500 TEMPERATURE COOLED FROM -12C TO -17C IN JUST 12 HOURS. WE ARE GETTING MORE CONCERNED WITH THE SEVERE HAIL POTENTIAL FROM ANY STORMS WHICH ARE ABLE TO BECOME ROOTED AND SUSTAINED. ANOTHER CONCERNING CHANGE IS REDEVELOPMENT SHOWING UP ON THE HRRR. THE HRRR IS OUT NOW TO 1Z AND IS SHOWING REDEVELOPMENT OF WHAT IS MOST LIKELY TO BE STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE I-35 CORRIDOR BY 23-00Z. THIS WAS SHOWN THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS FROM THE NAM...BUT NOW THAT THERE IS SUPPORT FROM THE HRRR THERE MAY BE SOMETHING TO IT. UPDATED THE GRIDS TO INCREASE POPS AFTER 00Z FOR AREAS NEAR THE I-35 CORRIDOR. ANOTHER ASPECT TO THIS IS IF WE GET ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS...FORECASTED RAIN TOTALS WILL INCREASE AS WELL. UPDATED THE HWO TO MENTION ISOLATED 5 INCH TOTALS AND LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING. HAMPSHIRE PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 529 AM CST SAT NOV 22 2014/ AVIATION DISCUSSION...FOR 12Z TAF PACKAGE... SCATTERED TO POTENTIALLY WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR MAINLY THE I35 CORRIDOR TERMINALS THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE TAF PERIOD. SHORT TERM MODELS SUGGEST THAT STORM DEVELOPMENT WILL OCCUR LATE MORNING IN THE VICINITY OF ALL TERMINALS BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE ABOUT 50 MILES WEST OF THE I35 CORRIDOR AND EAST. BEGINNING 18Z AND LASTING THROUGH 03Z...POTENTIALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL IMPACT TERMINALS OFF AND ON. INCLUDED +TSRA WITH IFR VIS TO ENCOMPASS THE MAIN IMPACTS TO THE TERMINALS. CIGS SHOULD REMAIN AT MVFR LEVELS DURING THE DAY BUT MAY DIP TO IFR DURING THE MORE SIGNIFICANT STORMS. EXPECT THESE IMPACTS TO EXIT QUICKLY FROM THE AREA AFTER 03Z. THEN VFR SHOULD PREVAIL DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD. NOTE FOR KDRT...MODELS SUGGEST A SECOND ROUND OF TSRA TO DEVELOP IN THE VICINITY NEAR 00Z. THIS IS A RECENT BUT CONSISTENT DEVELOPMENT IN THE MODELS SO INCLUDED PROB30 MENTION TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 342 AM CST SAT NOV 22 2014/ SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY)... LIGHT SHOWER ACTIVITY REMAINS SCATTERED AROUND THE AREA IN RESPONSE TO CONTINUED WEAK LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW-LEVEL JET. THE JET IS STRONGEST ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN ZONES AND THIS IS WHERE THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF ACTIVITY IS LOCATED. THE POTENT UPPER LEVEL LOW IS CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER NORTHERN MEXICO AND IT CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST. THE LARGE SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT CAN EASILY BE SEEN ON IR/WV SATELLITE IMAGERY AT THE PRESENT TIME. THE FORCING IS SHOWN BY THE INCREASING MID-HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS THAT ARE OVERSPREADING WEST TEXAS. THE MAIN UPPER FORCING SHOULD ARRIVE TO SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS LATER THIS MORNING AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. UNTIL THE MAIN UPPER FOCUS FOR LIFT ARRIVES...WE SHOULD ONLY CONTINUE TO SEE THIS ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWER ACTIVITY WITH PERHAPS AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM. THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOST LIKELY BEGIN TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE IN THE MID TO LATE MORNING HOURS AS THE UPPER LIFT ARRIVES. INITIALLY THERE WILL BE ABOUT 1500 J/KG OF CAPE ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA WITH 30-35 KNOTS OF 0-6 KM SHEAR. CAPE VALUES WILL DROP OFF TO 1000 J/KG OR LESS ACROSS THE EASTERN ZONES. THE INITIAL DEVELOPMENT OF STORMS COULD LEAD TO WEAK SUPERCELLS IN THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA IN THE AREA OF BEST INSTABILITY. HOWEVER...ONCE ACTIVITY BECOMES MORE WIDESPREAD THIS AFTERNOON...THERE MAY END UP BEING TOO MUCH ACTIVITY TO REALIZE THE PEAK CAPE VALUES. HIGH-RES GUIDANCE IS CONSISTENTLY SHOWING A LARGE AREA OF PRECIP OVER THE CWA THAT MOVES FROM WEST TO EAST AND OUT OF THE CWA BY 03Z. THE SHERB PARAMETER WHICH IS DECENT IN PICKING UP SEVERE POTENTIAL FOR THESE LOW CAPE/HIGH SHEAR ENVIRONMENTS /EASTERN ZONES/ IS LESS THAN WHAT WAS FORECASTED YESTERDAY...BUT IS STILL NEAR THE THRESHOLD TO SUPPORT THE NOTION FOR SOME POSSIBLE SEVERE WIND GUSTS OUT OF ANY LINE SEGMENTS WHICH FORM WITHIN THE LARGE MASS OF THUNDERSTORMS. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT INITIALLY...SOME THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL MAINLY ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA DURING THE LATE MORNING AND INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON. THEN...SOME MARGINALLY SEVERE WIND GUSTS WOULD BE THE MAIN MODE OF SEVERE CONVECTION FROM ANY POSSIBLE LINE SEGMENTS IN THE EASTERN ZONES. THE RISK FOR TORNADOES IS NON- ZERO...BUT LOW WITH THE BEST POTENTIAL BEING IN THE SOUTHEAST ZONES...WHERE THE BEST LOW-LEVEL SHEAR IS LOCATED. PW VALUES WILL RISE UP TO 1.5 INCHES ACROSS THE EASTERN AND NORTHERN ZONES. THIS IS ABOUT 2 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. THEREFORE...WE COULD SEE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL...MAINLY ACROSS THESE MENTIONED AREAS. WPC DAY 1 QPF VALUES RANGE FROM NEAR 1/4 OF AN INCH NEAR THE RIO GRANDE TO NEAR 2 INCHES IN OUR NORTHERN ZONES. THIS SEEMS REASONABLE...BUT SOME ISOLATED LOCATIONS COULD RECEIVE UP TO 4 INCHES OF RAIN. ALL ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE EAST OF THE AREA BY 3Z OR 9 PM. WEST WINDS AT THE SURFACE WILL CONTINUE ON SUNDAY GIVING US A DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT FROM WEST TO EAST. THIS USUALLY LEADS TO WARM TEMPERATURES AND HIGHS SUNDAY WILL REACH THE MID 70S TO NEAR 80 DEGREES. LONG TERM (SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)... THE WEATHER IN THE EXTENDED IS EXPECTED TO BE FAIRLY QUIET. A WEAK FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA OVERNIGHT SUNDAY. THIS FRONT IS IN RESPONSE TO AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE PLAINS. THIS FRONT WILL BE DRY AS MOISTURE WILL REMAIN SHUNTED OFF TO THE EAST. THE REST OF THE WEEK WILL REMAIN DRY AND THE NEXT FRONT SHOULD MOVE INTO THE AREA AROUND FRIDAY. THE WEATHER FOR THANKSGIVING SHOULD BE PRETTY SEASONAL WITH HIGHS IN THE 60S AND LOWS IN THE 30S/40S. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
