Almost all of Howard County received at least 2.5" of rain overnight with the southern and eastern parts of the county getting in excess of 6".  Doppler radar estimates of up to 11.5" of rain were estimated in southeastern Howard County.  In addition to these rains, heavy rains in northern Glasscock County contributed the flooding problems as well with waters flowing northward in Mustang Draw.A mother and her two children were swept off FM 818 at the Mustang Draw crossing (12 miles southwest of Big Spring).  Although the rains had ended about 5 hours before, flood waters still raged through this draw as they attempted to cross at about 7:30 am.  The mother was taken about 1/2 mile downstream but was able to reach ground, however, neither of the children survived.  The daughter's body was found after officials and voluteers searched for 12 hours, but the boy's body was located over a week later--after the official search had been called off.  The mother was treated for hypothermia and released.

Flash flooding occurred over parts of Mitchell County especially on rural roads north of Colorado City.  From the extreme rains in the region, the Colorado River quickly rose above flood stage.  Parts of Colorado City became flooded as the river came out of its banks.  The flood crest of 28.57 feet (over 13 feet above flood stage) on the 24th was the highest flood stage since the Lake J.B. Thomas Dam was constructed.Overall Synopsis...A strong upper level low pressure system was approaching the region, while frontal boundaries and outflow boundaries served as a focus for development at the surface.  In Snyder, many churches combined for a prayer for rain at the local civic center on the evening of the 22nd.  Storms pounded the local area during the service.  Training supercells from near Snyder to the southwest past McCamey pummeled the area for about 10 hours.  Radar rain totals in this area exceeded 6 inches over a path of 150 miles in length and about 20 miles in width.  A few areas received close to 10 inches overnight.  Lake Colorado City drew in around 4.9 billion gallons of water (15,000 acre feet), sending the lake up 12.6 feet.  The lake rose from 40% capacity to 91.8% capacity (only 20 inches from the top of the spillway) from this one event.

Locations east of South Bend reported only an inch....Synoptic and mesoscale conditions on the 25th/26th...A tremendous snowstorm was ongoing along the east coast during this period with a large nearly meridonal longwave upper level trough in place across the upper midwest.  A clipper type low pressure system rapidly dove southeast out of Alberta Canada early on the 25th spreading a band of light snow across Northern Indiana.  Quick on its heels was a 1040 millibar arctic high. This combined with intensifing cold advection and induced thermal troughing along the lake and initial boundary layer wind trajectory of 360 degrees... led once again to a very intense shore parallel snowband to develop along the Lake Michigan shoreline during the late afternoon of the 25th reaching as far south as Lafayette Indiana.  This band remained in roughly the same position for 12 hours before shifting westward into Lake and Porter counties the morning of the 26th.
