A strong upper level low pressure area over western Arizona moved slowly eastward.  This feature increased upper level lift over West Texas and southeast New Mexico.  This upper low was pulling moisture northward into the area from the Gulf of Mexico allowing for precipitable water values to rise to around one inch.  Sufficient heating, instability, and high moisture content contributed to severe thunderstorms with large hail as well as flash flooding.  Thunderstorms increased in coverage overnight as an upper level disturbance moved over the region.
