A slow-moving cold front combined with strong instability and plentiful moisture to initially produce isolated severe thunderstorms in and near the Laredo area during the early evening hours of March 18th. Eventually, the storms became better organized and formed into a squall line mainly over the southern half of South Texas. Once they organized, the line intensified and moved rapidly toward the coast. The following is a brief summary of how the event transpired.
The morning sounding at Corpus Christi on March 18th showed a morning cap in the mid levels, with turning of the winds with height (known as "wind shear") and a lot of potential instability. For thunderstorms to develop during the afternoon over South Texas (and areas just to the north), afternoon temperatures would have to reach the mid to upper 80s, unless additional forcing became available. This additional forcing occurred over South Central Texas, as well as the Sierra Madre (a mountain range in Eastern Mexico) during the late afternoon, as a weak upper level disturbance, easterly flow into the Mexican mountains (lifting the moisture), and a cold front began to impact western-most portions of Texas and the Sierra Madre. Also, by late afternoon, temperatures had reached 90 degrees in the city of Laredo. All of these influences resulted in thunderstorms developing out west in the late afternoon and early evening.

The cap weakened just enough over Western Webb County (possibly due to the weak upper level support) to generate isolated severe thunderstorms, especially north of, and in the northern portions of the city of Laredo. Initially, only one storm formed just north of Laredo, but then the storm split into two storms, with the south-moving storm moving into the northern portions of Laredo. The storms produced quarter to golf-ball sized hail during their strongest times. One of the storm spotters on Mines Road just northwest of Laredo reported hail falling for around 40 minutes! Since the storms over Western Webb County showed very little movement at times, these storms produced very heavy rainfall. Doppler and coop observer rainfall amounts of 1 to more than 3 inches were noted over Western Webb County, some of which fell in less than 1 hour. However, no significant flooding was reported. You can see a time lapse of these storms in Western Webb County by clicking here.
As the radar loop for the storms in Western Webb County showed, additional thunderstorms began to develop near (both east and west) the Rio Grande. These additional storms developed partly with the help of the aforementioned upper disturbance, but also due to the enhanced surface forcing due to outflow boundaries generated by the thunderstorms. On top of that, by mid evening the cold front began moving into northern portions of South Texas, bringing additional thunderstorms. As this happened, the storm over Webb County began to organize into a squall line around 10 PM. This organized line of thunderstorms was able to create an environment which could readily break the cap as the line moved east toward the coast, due largely in part to the much stronger surface forcing generated by the organized convection. As the cap broke, the strong instability (also known as "CAPE", or potential energy available in the atmosphere) was converted to kinetic energy in the form of winds. The weak mid level cap, as shown in the evening sounding at Corpus Christi was no match for the surface forcing the squall line was generating!
With the convection now more organized, the storms began to move rapidly east toward the Gulf of Mexico. There were still some strong to severe storms in La Salle, Goliad, and Victoria Counties through the late evening hours. Some of the initial severe weather reports included: winds of 67 mph observed by a fire weather station about 5 miles northeast of Victoria, very large trees down near Artesia Wells in La Salle County, and a 150 foot Internet Tower collapsing on a house about 10 miles northeast of Goliad. However, the main show was the ever-progressive squall line. The line moved rapidly through the remainder of the Southern Brush Country and Western Coastal Bend, producing winds estimated by Doppler radar between 60 to 85 knots (69 to 98 mph) over portions of Jim Wells and Duval Counties around 1140 PM, just a few thousand feet above the ground. The radar was showing a bow echo at the same time, a distinctive radar feature indicating strong, straight-line winds. Wind damage was reported in portions of Duval and Jim Wells County, as well as quarter-sized hail in Benavides (see storm reports section).
The squall line rapidly reached the southern coastal counties around midnight, and the coast around 1 AM. For a close-up view of the storms as they approached Corpus Christi and moved into the Gulf of Mexico, click here. The line moved through the western portions of Nueces and Kleberg Counties (including the city of Kingsville) shortly after midnight. Winds in excess of 60 mph and wind damage was reported in the western portions of these counties, including downed power poles, roof damage, and 18-wheelers blown over on U. S. Highway 77. Wind gusts of 68 mph were measured at the Corpus Christi International Airport at 1242 AM. By the time the storms reached the South Side and downtown area of Corpus Christi around 1 AM March 19, the radar was estimating a large area of strong winds between 60 and 80 knots (69 to 92 mph) less than 1000 feet above the ground! Reported wind gusts between 60 and 70 mph were common, with a gust of 78 mph reported at NAS Corpus Christi! Also, note from the previous velocity image that winds behind the main part of the squall line remained strong, with Doppler radar estimates of 50 to 60 knots near and west of the Corpus Christi Airport.
As the squall line moved through the coastal counties, additional reports of wind damage to power poles, trees and roofs in portions of Nueces, Kleberg and San Patricio Counties were received. Farther north, the storms were not as intense, but did produce winds between 45 and 57 mph over portions of Aransas, Calhoun, and Refugio Counties. This intense line finally reached the coast around 1 AM, then moved offshore. The line of storms continued to produce winds over the bays and the gulf waters anywhere between 40 mph to nearly 90 mph, the latter speeds recorded by offshore platforms around 80 feet tall.
The 24-Hour rainfall map for the period ending 7 AM March 19 showed most of South Texas receiving at least 1/2 inch of rainfall, with scattered rainfall amounts of more than 1 1/2 inches. Portions of Webb, La Salle and Victoria Counties received between 2 1/2 to 4 inches of precipitation. No significant inland flooding was reported or observed, although the Oso Creek at Corpus Christi rose above the flood stage of 20 feet Saturday morning, crested around 21.5 feet Saturday afternoon, then fell below flood stage Saturday night.
