A strong upper level disturbance moved out of Northern Mexico and into to South Texas during the morning of the 6th.  Low level winds ahead of the system backed to the east as winds increased in the mid levels resulting in strong deep layer shear.  Several supercell thunderstorms developed inland over the Coastal Bend.  An HP supercell moved from near Beeville into south-central Goliad county and through northern Refugio, southern Victoria and Calhoun counties.  NWS radar estimated a wide swath of 2-3 inches of rainfall across this area, with localized amounts of 3 to 4 inches, producing flash flooding.  In addition, this storm produced three F0 tornadoes along it's path through Southern Victoria and Calhoun counties.  Additional rotating storms across Kleberg and Nueces county produced flash flooding in Nueces county as well as one confirmed F0 tornado along the coast in Northeast Kleberg county.
