On the morning of October 13th, 2013, a complex of showers and thunderstorms  developed between Eagle Pass and Cotulla. These showers and thunderstorms continued to form and move over nearly the same area throughout the afternoon and evening hours on the 13th into the early morning hours on the 14th. The combination of a slow-moving outflow boundary, a deep layer of very moist air from both the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean, and upper level forcing from a weak disturbance  resulted in 6 to 8 inches of rainfall occurring in western portions of La Salle, northwest Duval, and western Webb Counties. Further west across Dimmit and Zavala counties, rainfall amounts exceeded 10 inches in some locations.
