An upper level trough moved out of the southern Rockies and provided sufficient lift to form thunderstorms along a dryline in west Texas. These storms moved into South Central Texas and were further enhanced by an outflow boundary that moved out of north Texas. Some of these storms produced large hail, damaging wind gusts, and heavy rain that led to flash flooding.
