Portions of the Texas Panhandle experienced tropical-like precipitation which led to localized flash flooding during the evening hours of the 19th. The remnants of Tropical Depression Manuel streamed across the panhandle ahead of a slow southward progressing cold front. The increased moisture pushed Precipitable Water values into a climatological extreme range which provided thunderstorms with the potential to produce heavy rain. This heavy rain potential became a threat for flash flooding due to weak steering flow aloft. This flash flood potential was verified as two areas of thunderstorms developed across the Texas Panhandle during the evening hours of the 19th. The eastern area was positioned over Lipscomb County while the western area was positioned over southwestern Texas Panhandle counties. These thunderstorms moved very slowly which allowed them to remain over the same location for a couple of hours. Flash flooding was reported in the counties before the cold front increased in speed and forced thunderstorms southward. Flash flooding persisted in these counties for a few hours after the thunderstorms moved southward.
