The episode as NWS CRP wrote it up.
Thanks to plentiful moisture (PWATs between 1.6-1.9 inches) and embedded shortwaves aloft, scattered showers and thunderstorms led to heavy downpours, which caused isolated flash flooding in downtown Corpus Christi.

NWS Corpus Christi, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 22, 5:15 AM CST, 7 hours 3 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 615 AM CDT Mon Sep 22 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 607 AM CDT Mon Sep 22 2025 - Low chance (20-40%) of showers today through Tuesday, increasing to medium chances (30-60%) Wednesday through Thursday. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1229 AM CDT Mon Sep 22 2025 No significant chances were made to the previous forecast. Low (20- 40%) chances for showers and thunderstorms will continue today and Tuesday, mainly in the afternoons. Models are in slightly better agreement regarding the boundary (dare I say cold front?) approaching South Texas by the middle of the week. Moisture will pool ahead of the boundary, increasing rain chances to medium (30- 60%) by Wednesday. NBM currently has the winds shifting to the north/northeast Wednesday night then continuing into Friday night. This seems fairly reasonable, so have not edited anything too much though I did blend in a touch of the NAM to account for this boundary/front (90NBM/10NAM) with both the winds and the PoPs. It is very likely that things will need to be adjusted as this feature gets closer. Temperatures will actually cool noticeably for parts of South Texas behind the "cold" front, with highs across the Brush Country dropping from near 100 to the low 90s. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 607 AM CDT Mon Sep 22 2025 A mix of VFR and MVFR conditions can be expected through mid morning, but overall VFR conditions will prevail through much of the TAF period. A few showers are approaching the coastline this morning and are expected to move inland through the morning hours. There is a 20-30% chance of showers and thunderstorms across the Coastal Bend and Victoria Crossroads, mainly later this morning through the afternoon. Have kept a PROB30 for ALI, CRP and VCT. If convection moves across a TAF site, it should be brief with minimal aviation impacts. Rain chances decrease this evening and overnight. Brief MVFR conditions will be possible once again early Tuesday morning due to low cloud bases and/or patchy fog, mainly ALI and VCT. && .MARINE... Issued at 125 PM CDT Sun Sep 21 2025 A gentle to moderate (BF 3-4) onshore breeze will continue through the middle of the week. A frontal boundary is expected to move through the area by Thursday, switching winds to a more northerly flow before winds return to a southeasterly flow for the upcoming weekend. There is a low to medium (30-60%) chance of showers and thunderstorms each day. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
