The episode as NWS EWX wrote it up.
An upper level shortwave trough triggered thunderstorms rooted in a very moist boundary layer with precipitable water values near 2.0 inches. Some of these storms produced heavy rain that led to flash flooding.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 324 AM CDT Tue Jun 4 2019 .SHORT TERM (Today through Wednesday)... Convection continues to increase across our western counties which is something that has surprised much of the high-res models. However, the global models depicted some activity in this area overnight in addition to the TTU WRF and will use these models as a base for the next 6-12 hours. This convection is developing on an increase in the low-level jet and increasing precipitable water values in this area. The 00z DRT RAOB from last evening showed a PW value near 1.8" and latest satellite estimations has it up to 2 inches. The 00z ECMWF shows a 25 knot southerly wind at 850 over Val Verde County at 6z increasing to 20 knots by 12z before dropping down to 20 knots by 18z. Will use this as a guide to continue with widespread rain in the forecast for this area through the mid-morning hours with activity then diminishing in coverage by the late morning hours. Rainfall rates with this activity are reaching up to 3 inches per hour and total accumulations through the mid-morning hours may be in excess of 4 inches for isolated locations where localized persistent heavy rain could be possible. Overall threat of widespread flash flooding is low, but some localized flash flooding will be possible in Val Verde, Edwards, and Kinney County. As this activity diminishes in coverage by the late morning hours, additional scattered showers and storms will be possible by the afternoon across much of the area, but the southwestern areas will continue to be favored as the best low-level flow remains in the area. If this area of rain causes an MCV to develop, which is certainty possible, then rain chances would be better to the east as any potential vortex should track east. The increase in moisture across the area is caused by a tropical wave that remains in the gulf waters to the southeast of Brownsville. The latest tropical weather outlook from the National Hurricane Center shows this system with a 50 percent chance of tropical cyclone formation before the center of the system tracks inland in the next 24-36 hours. Regardless of development of a closed-low, abnormally high precipitable water values will remain in place through Thursday which will lead to elevated rain chances for much of the area. Models are in somewhat better agreement that the system will move to the northeast tomorrow as it gets picked up in an approaching upper level trough axis. This should mean that the bulk of the heavier rainfall associated with the system should shift east of our area by mid-day Wednesday. Storm total rainfall amounts through tomorrow look to be in the 1-3 inch range out west where current activity is in place and across the eastern counties where the heaviest activity is expected tomorrow. For the central areas, storm totals are expected to be in the 0.25-1.5 inch range. While isolated flash flooding cant be ruled out for much of the CWA given the very moist airmass in place, widespread flash flooding is not anticipated at this time and will not issue a Watch at this time. && .LONG TERM (Wednesday Night through Monday)... Rain chances will really decrease beginning Wednesday night and into Thursday as the wave and upper trough axis shifts east. The ECMWF is deeper and faster with the mid-latitude trough and shuts things down a bit sooner. In addition, the ECMWF develops a stronger surface low across East Texas on Thursday that provides subsidence across our area into Friday morning which would really shut things off for us. With the weaker trough axis, the GFS/NAM are hinting at redevelopment of a complex of storms with decent QPF totals late Thursday afternoon into Thursday night across the eastern half of the area. Will carry a 20 PoP for now into Thursday night to account for this, but as of right now this doesn't seem like too plausible of a scenario but it bears watching. A strong upper level ridge is expected to build in from the west Friday - Sunday and with it southwest winds at 850 will really allow the heat to settle in as well. High temperatures Friday-Sunday will reach the upper 90s to 103 degree range for much of the area. Heat index values will be above 103 for much of the area and will be near heat advisory criteria across the eastern counties on Saturday and Sunday. Medium range guidance then diverges for Monday as the ECMWF brings in a cold front Monday as a deep upper low passes across the Northern Plains. The GFS does not bring the front in on Monday and keeps the above normal temperatures in place across the region. Am inclined to side with the GFS here as it does not seem to plausible that a cold front will be able to make it as far south as South-Central Texas given that the upper level forcing is that far north and 500 mb heights over us will be near 594dm. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
