Paired time series of rainfall rate estimates from the Houston WSR-88D and Texas A&M mesonet rain gauge sites (a) SE62W1 and (b) SE64 (see Table 3 both gauges are located within the box shown on the southwestern boundary of the Spring Creek catchment in Fig. Station numbers 1–5 correspond to locations in reflectivity maps of Fig. Virtual temperature time series at Texas A&M surface stations.

Track of the Kickapoo Creek storm from 0000 to 0600 UTC 17 Oct. Time series of (a) elevation (km AGL) of the reflectivity centroid and (b) rain area (defined by the 35-dB Z boundary) of the Spring Creek storm. Time series of elevation (km AGL) of the reflectivity centroid for the Kickapoo Creek storm. Time series plot of lightning occurrences over the domain shown in Fig. The basin boundaries of the East Fork San Jacinto River basin and Long King Creek basin ( Table 1) are shown along with the Kickapoo Creek, Lake Livingston, and Spring Creek basin boundaries (see Fig. Times of the reflectivity images are (a) 2300 UTC, (b) 2353 UTC, (c) 0059 UTC 17 Oct, (d) 0140 UTC, (e) 0251 UTC, (f) 0357 UTC, and (g) 0514 UTC.Ĭontour map of the storm total lightning flash density (flashes per kilometer squared) for the period 1200 UTC 16 Oct to 1200 UTC. Basin boundaries for Kickapoo Creek and Spring Creek are included on each image, as are locations of surface meteorological stations: Central (1), Huntsville (2), Burton (3), Milano (4), and Easterly (5). Reflectivity observations (in dB Z) over Spring Creek and Kickapoo Creek are from the 0.5° elevation scan. Throughout the storm period, the Houston WSR-88D was operated in precipitation mode (nine elevation angles in 6 min).
