Moisture was coming into the area from Tropical Storm Octave in the Pacific Ocean. Additional low-level moisture was moving in from the Gulf of Mexico.  A stationary front was present near the Pecos River, and upper level disturbances were moving over the area from the tropical storm providing additional lift.  This good supply of moisture and combined lift helped to create flash flooding in southeast New Mexico and the Permian Basin.
