Continuing impulses of energy rotating around the larger upper level disturbance just wouldn't let go on August 24th, and one final round of torrential rains affected the western Lower Rio Grande Valley beginning in the overnight and pre dawn hours in western Jim Hogg, much of Zapata, and northwest Starr County, tapered off briefly during the mid to late morning, but, unfortunately, returned during the late afternoon and evening. The combination of initial rainfall near the head of several arroyos in northwest and central Starr County, which flowed southward toward previously flooded areas of Roma, with the later rains which pounded the west side of Roma, caused a resurgence of flooding in all of these areas once again.
Damage assessment teams from the Red Cross had found nearly 1000 (981) homes to be impacted by the flooding for the entire week long event, with 30 homes sustaining major damage. Damages for this particular event (August 24th) were estimated based on somewhat lesser impacts than from the episode on August 17th.  As the week progressed, additional isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms affected the same areas, but caused little additional impact. The last areal coverage of thunderstorms was affecting Starr County during the evening of the 29th, and dry air gradually filtered across the area for the Labor Day Holiday Weekend.

Torrential rains redeveloped during the pre dawn hours in western Jim Hogg, much of Zapata, and northwest Starr County, early on the 24th. Rainfall estimated to be at least 4 to 6 inches, perhaps more, flowed south out of the El Sauz/San Carlos area and soon reached previously swollen Arroyo Los Morenos, which soon overtopped its banks once again, possibly flooding up to six homes in Escobares.
An additional band of heavy rain likely dropped another 1 to 2 inches or more across water logged neighborhoods in and near Roma, along Federal Highway 83 between 9 and 10 AM CDT, further exacerbating the flood conditions which were already in place.

Only a few hours after rains had tapered off Starr County, another complex of thunderstorms crept into the already flooded areas of southwestern portions of the area, and an additional 4 inches or more fell in or near areas impacted by the original floods during the evening of the 22nd, causing perhaps up to eight or nine neighborhoods to have a number of road closures, as well as homes having water pushed into them by passing vehicles. After the rains subsided, the event evolved into an area wide flood which continued well into the night, requiring additional water rescues.

After the rains had long ended, remaining flood waters around and near teh city of Roma continued to remain an issue for many. At least eight residents were rescued from the Las Flores subdivision, and a number of residents in the Robinson subdivision self evacuated as water continued to rise or remain high. Another resident was evacuated off of Ranchito Street from high water in a residence, and a rescue call was received for four children who may have been affected by the flood waters; thankfully, all were found unharmed.
Aircraft video confirmed that high standing water continued well into the 25th in many neighborhoods, particularly those which received the heaviest rains between the 22nd and 24th and were either low lying or had poorly draining streets. Other affected streets were caked with mud.  While most of the flooded roads and residences had 2 feet or less of water in them on the 25th, some pockets of 3 feet of water may have remained.
At least 67 residents sought shelter during the night, with several remaining for the next few days as the flood waters gradually receded.
