A compact upper level low pressure system to the northwest created ripe conditions for thunderstorm development.  A thunderstorm complex moved into north Texas on the morning of July 10, causing flash flooding across a few counties north of the metroplex.  Storms later redeveloped along boundaries left over from that morning's thunderstorms.  Flash flooding occurred again on the 11th as rain fell on saturated soils.
