DISCUSSION...A convergence boundary in south central TX continues to ignite thunderstorms in an environment ripe for prolific rainfall rates. While MUCAPE is gradually being exhausted, there remains up to 1,000 J/kg available within an environment with >90% RH values at both low-mid levels. PWATs are as high as 2.3" in area averaged RAP soundings with warm cloud layers up to 15,500ft in depth. Steady 850mb inflow off the Gulf will continue to help fuel these storms until the instability exhaust itself, which should be in a couple more hours. Still, portions of Duval and Jim Wells counties have seen as much as 5-10" of rainfall from these training thunderstorms and MRMS FLASH 3-hr ARI show totals between 10-30 year return periods. With soils in these areas now so saturated and sensitive, any additional rainfall in the 2-3"/hr range would further exacerbate the ongoing flash flooding. With that said, additional flash flooding is likely over the next few hours.
