A stagnant, split upper level pattern allowed a series of short wave troughs to move through South Central Texas. These short waves combined with deep low level moisture to cause slow moving thunderstorms. These storms produced heavy rain which caused flash flooding and river flooding.  The flooding around Hunt in Kerr County resulted in several swift water rescues and one fatality.
