Meteorological Synopsis
On June 5, a tropical disturbance crossed over from the Eastern Pacific through Mexico out into the Gulf of Mexico. The following day,the area of convection lost tropical characteristics. This allowed the storm system to begin spawning numerous severe thunderstorms in Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, and even the tropical paradise Cuba. At 2:19 PM Central Time on June 7, the first severe weather report came in from Bay City, Texas, where thr town experienced up to baseball sized hail. After that, the NWS (national Weather Service) was flooded with reports of hailstorms, wind damage, waterspouts, landspouts, funnel clouds, and even full blown tornadoes. This trend continued for 2 days, until the moisture was absorbed by Tropical Storm Bret, and ultimately helped intensify the storm into a hurricane.
