Local Weather History For October 2nd...
|
1986 (2nd-5th): After the severe thunderstorm outbreak the preceding day, a vigorous upper level trough pushed a
slow-moving cold front into Southwest Texas on the 2nd. This front interacted with the remnants of Eastern Pacific Hurricane Paine and produced widespread heavy rainfall and flash flooding over the region. Heavy rains extended even as far north as the eastern South Plains and Rolling Plains during the first two days of the event. Stonewall County recorded around 4 inches with as much as 7 inches having fallen in nearby Fisher County. Between Post and Tahoka, rising waters inundated roads and threatened some residences on the 2nd. Similar events transpired in Lubbock, Crosby, Floyd, Briscoe, King, and Cottle Counties; however no significant impacts aside from travel inconveniences resulted. |
