sweetapricity/bridgedeck-noaa huggingface dataset:
A southwest to northeast band of persistent moderate to at times heavy rainfall developed during the early evening hours on October 15th across portions of Central Angelina and Southeast Nacogdoches Counties in Deep East Texas, as strong overrunning began atop a cool, shallow air mass in wake of a cold frontal passage that moved through earlier in the day. The rain rates were enhanced by late evening through the early morning hours on October 16th, where strong elevated forcing occurred near embedded upper level disturbances in the deep and very moist southwest flow aloft. This resulted in widespread areas of four to seven inches of rain across Central Angelina and Southeast Nacogdoches Counties, which resulted in multiple roads being covered in water and/or closed across Southern and Central Angelina County during the early morning hours on October 16th.
