Reported by: River/Stream Gage

Widespread rainfall amounts of fifteen to in excess of twenty inches fell across the Neches River basin of East Texas during May. As a result, the Neches River southwest of Alto near Highway 21 rose above the 16 foot flood stage at 1030 pm on May 9th, reached the 18 foot moderate flood stage at 9 pm on the 19th, before cresting at 19.2 feet at 9 am on the 24th. A slow recession commenced afterwards, with the Neches River falling to near 17.7 feet by midnight on the 31st. Additional heavy rainfall moved into the Neches River basin late in the day on the 31st, which resulted in a sharp and significant secondary crest above the 20 foot major flood stage on June 1st.
This flooding resulted in moderate to severe flooding of the heavily wooded floodplain, with boat ramps and picnic areas completely inundated.

On May 18th, a slow moving upper level low pressure system which had been responsible for severe storms May 15 through May 17th, moved east into northern New Mexico. The environment was just unstable enough to produce a few severe storms in the area with large hail and severe wind gusts. These storms also produced some heavy rain with nuisance flooding in some areas. A few automated weather equipment across the Panhandles measured over an inch of rain with some of these down pours.

A developing large scale trough across the western United States provided a favorable pattern for thunderstorm development across the Panhandles. A line of showers and thunderstorms associated with a disturbance rotating around the base of this trough to the west moved into the combined Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles in the early afternoon. The storms were mostly sub-severe, however, one storm over Deaf Smith County did produce a wind gust of 66 mph measured by a West Texas Mesonet located in Bootleg as the gust front moved away from the parent storm and impacte the site.

A combination of a surface boundary (dryline) and an upper level disturbance created thunderstorms in the northeastern New Mexico and far northwest combined Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles on the night of the 23rd.

Hail in DALLAM, TEXAS
From 23-MAY-21 21:55:00 to 23-MAY-21 21:55:00 (CST-6)
Location: WARE
Magnitude: 0.75 
Reported by: Storm Chaser
Isolated supercell thunderstorms developed on the higher terrain in New Mexico and Colorado to the west in the afternoon hours and tracked east to southeast toward the western Panhandles. During the evening hours, a supercell thunderstorm tracked into the western Oklahoma Panhandle from southeastern Colorado aided by moderate levels of instability and weak to moderate wind shear. Despite contemporaneous reports from multiple chasers that a large tornado was in progress, following the viewing of later video and picture evidence, the collection of testimony from other chasers in the area, and the completion of a damage survey that found no damage, it was concluded that no tornado occurred with this supercell and the reports were likely associated with a large and impressive scud cloud seen from a distance. While no tornado occurred, this supercell was a prolific hail producer, with multiple reports of baseball size hail. Given the sparse road network, it is possible that the largest hailstones generated by this storm were not located by storm spotters. Later that night, a robust line of storms entered the western Texas Panhandle from New Mexico, with an 86 mph wind gust recorded by the West Texas Mesonet site southwest of Romero before the line weakened further east.

By the end of May 2021, portions of the southwest Texas Panhandle had been in severe or worse drought since June of 2020 when the nearly year-long drought began. For much of that period, the far southwest Texas Panhandle experienced Extreme (D3) to Exceptional Drought (D4). Conditions had been slowly improving since March of 2021 and this trend continued into May. Some areas of the Texas and Oklahoma Pahandle experienced a significnantly wet period in May with 150-300 percent of normal rainfall and this continued to greatly improve drought categories for much of the region. The one exception to the surplus occurred in the far southwest Texas Panhandle where only near to slightly below normal rainfall occurred and this limited the drought improvment in these areas.
