On Friday, July 12, a large low pressure system settled over the southern Great Plains, sending a series of weather disturbances southeastward toward South Central Texas. Scattered showers and thunderstorms developed in the afternoon and continued into the evening hours from the Hill Country eastward, producing locally heavy rain and beginning to saturate the soils still moist from the devastating rains earlier in July. Another disturbance arrived on Saturday, July 13, from the northwest, and came a little further south, bringing scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms to the Texas Hill Country and adjacent parts of South Central Texas on Saturday afternoon and evening of July 13th. These storms produced widespread 1 to 2 inch rain totals, with local amounts of up to 4 inches, causing brief flooding over several counties.
