The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Midland Regional, TX (KMAF), launched 12:00Z, 9.7 hours before the alert went out and 55 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Midland/Odessa, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Sep 27, 1:50 PM CDT, 2 hours 51 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 27, 1:50 PM CDT, 2 hours 51 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 150 PM CDT MON SEP 27 2004 .SHORT TERM... A CUTOFF LOW IS CENTERED NEAR THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...AND TRANSLATING SLOWLY EASTWARD. SCATTERED CONVECTION DEVELOPING UNDER COLD POOL ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE...BUT EXPECT MOST TO REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LIMITS AS SHEAR IS WEAK AND LAPSE RATES NOT VERY STEEP. A STORM OR TWO COULD PRODUCE SOME HAIL IF INSOLATION BECOMES GREAT ENOUGH UNDER COLD POOL ALOFT...BUT NOT EXPECTING MANY STORING STORMS. WARM CONVEYOR SHOWERS AND STORMS PERSISTING OVER THE NORTHEAST ZONES...BUT TRANSLATING EVER SO SLOWLY NORTH AND EAST OUT OF THE CWA. UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE TO LUMBER SLOWLY EASTWARD TONIGHT...THEN OPEN AND BEGIN TO PULL AWAY FROM THE AREA BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON AS IT BECOMES ENTRAINED INTO A PASSING CENTRAL U.S. PLAINS SHORTWAVE TROUGH. THE BEST CHANCE OF RAIN WILL RESIDE ALONG AND TO THE EAST OF THE TROUGH AXIS...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF AREAS TO THE NORTH/ NORTHWEST OF THE UPPER LOW WHERE SHOWERS WILL WRAP NORTHWESTWARD AROUND THE CUTOFF LOW. THEREFORE...WILL RETAIN THE HIGHEST POPS AND CONTINUE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH OVERNIGHT FOR THESE AREAS. EXPECT MORE SCATTERED RAIN CHANCES UNDER AND TO THE WEST OF THE CUTOFF LOW. CONSIDERED DROPPING THE FFA OVER THE WESTERN THIRD OF THE CWA...BUT EVEN THOUGH ACTIVITY WILL BE MORE SCATTERED...SOME INSOLATION... MARGINALLY STEEP LAPSE RATES...AND MOIST LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE FLOW SHOULD ALLOW FOR TSRA TO DEVELOP OVER THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST ZONES. SINCE PRECIPITABLE WATER IS STILL NEAR ONE INCH THESE LOCATIONS... SOILS ARE SATURATED...AND TSRA WILL PRODUCE HIGHER RAINFALL AMOUNTS...WILL GO AHEAD AND LEAVE THE FFA GOING OVERNIGHT HERE TOO. MOS GUIDANCE COMING UP WITH WARMER MAX TEMPS THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. WILL UNDERCUT THE COOLER GFS MOS AS ANY INSOLATION RECEIVED WILL BE TEMPERED BY EVAPORATIONAL COOLING. OTHERWISE...TWEAKED WIND AND DEWPOINT GRIDS. .LONG TERM... CONTINUED FLASH FLOOD PROBLEMS OVER THE NORTHEAST CWA...FLOODING ALONG THE RIO GRANDE...AND A HOST OF OTHER CONSIDERATIONS WILL LIMIT THE NUMBER OF CHANGES TO THE FORECAST BEYOND DAY 2. IT DOES APPEAR WE WILL HAVE ONLY A BRIEF RESPITE FROM THE ACTIVE WEATHER AS A CUTOFF LOW CURRENTLY OFF THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST WILL TRANSLATE SOUTHEAST TO THE FOUR CORNERS REGION BY WEEK/S END. THIS WILL PUT THE CWA IN AN AREA OF UPPER DIFFLUENCE...WITH AFOREMENTIONED CUTOFF LOW EJECTING PERIODIC SHORTWAVES OVER THE CWA. SINCE IT APPEARS WE WILL STILL HAVE PLENTY OF MOISTURE AROUND...AND BETTER SHEAR...MAY EVEN SEE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS BY WEEK/S END. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AFFECTING THESE AREAS AGAIN TONIGHT WILL AGGRAVATE THE FLOODING SITUATION. ALTHOUGH WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED...A FEW OF THE THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP MAY PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND STRONG WINDS IN EXCESS OF 55 MPH. RIVER LEVELS ON THE RIO GRANDE ARE ELEVATED DUE TO RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINS FROM THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS TO THE BIG BEND REGION SINCE SATURDAY. A FEW LOCATIONS ARE ABOVE FLOOD STAGE...WITH A COUPLE LOCATIONS EXPERIENCING MODERATE TO MAJOR FLOODING. THIS FLOODING IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH TOMORROW...WITH THE RIVER LEVELS SLOWLY FALLING TUESDAY NIGHT.

A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST TUESDAY...WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUING INTO THE WEEKEND. THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL LIKELY PRODUCE HEAVY RAINFALL AND POTENTIALLY AREAS OF FLOODING. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED. LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES...EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS...STORM SPOTTER GROUPS...AND OTHER INTERESTED CONCERNS SHOULD MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS AND WEATHER INFORMATION REGARDING THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING.
