The episode as NWS CRP wrote it up.
Scattered thunderstorms developed on an outflow boundary during the afternoon of the 24th over the Brush Country. A thunderstorm produced baseball sized hail between Laredo and Encinal.
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 Corpus Christi, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 24, 2:32 PM CST, 3 hours 8 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 332 PM CDT Mon Jun 24 2019 .SHORT TERM... A well-defined outflow boundary continued to make slow headway southward out of the Coastal Bend complete with a gradual decay in thunderstorms. Farther west, this boundary was encountering much stronger capping as it crawled west through the Brush Country. Based on satellite trends, it appears additional storm development will be hard pressed to materialize mainly in the cold pool trailing the outflow where convective clouds are largely absent. However, farther north a second outflow continues to nudge south through the Hill Country. This boundary should reach the Victoria Crossroads before 6 PM possibly accompanied by some showers and storms, but the ability for the atmosphere to recover elsewhere along the boundary does not appear very likely. Worse, models are not handling the Hill Country convection well at all, so the likelihood for this convection to be sustained south through the remainder of our forecast area this evening appears low at this time. Barring a few errant storms overnight and even some streamer cells towards daybreak, the next decent opportunity for precip should arise Tuesday afternoon as convective temps are attained underneath a weak upper trough. Upper dynamics are forecast to become even more diffuse compared to today, so any additional forcing for ascent may be hinged to residual outflow boundaries. The general HREF consensus has been for storms to focus throughout the Brush Country tomorrow afternoon, but given minimal CIN elsewhere and PWATs around 2 inches, it seems reasonable to keep a broad mention of chance PoPs for the entire forecast area. Other than a few locales seeing heat indices around 110 tomorrow (mainly from southern Duval County east to western Kleberg County), the need for a heat advisory should remain on the backburner for now. && .LONG TERM... Deep ridging will build early in the period and the atmosphere will dry out accordingly. PWATs will drop from current values around 2 inches back to around 1.5 inches for the last half of the week into Saturday. This drying will result in reduced precip cvrg but will hold onto 20 PoPs over the eastern 1/2 of the area to account for morning streamers and afternoon seabreeze convection. Starting Sunday moisture increases as the upper high retrogrades allowing an upper low/tropical wave to approach from the east. PoPs will slowly be ramped up but the best rain chances may be later next week. Overall, temperatures are expected to remain near seasonal normals, with highs along the coast in the upper 80s/lower 90s ranging to near 100 degrees across the western Brush Country. && .MARINE... Moderate to occasionally strong onshore flow is expected to continue tonight with the strongest winds late this afternoon and evening occurring in the wake of thunderstorms. These storms should push south of the offshore areas this evening before isolated to scattered thunderstorms redevelop on Tuesday. Weak to moderate onshore flow is Wednesday and will persist through the weekend. Drier conditions are expected for much of the period with just isolated showers and thunderstorms possible. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
