Narrative:

TCASII RA target at 12 O'clock 200-300 ft below. Climb command given by TCASII. Immediate climb through 14000 ft. ATC advised traffic at 2500 ft then after RA, ATC called the traffic at 12500 ft. My opinion was traffic descended from approximately 12800 ft to 12500 ft after seeing us. We never saw traffic visually only on TCASII. WX was good with localized thunderstorms.
