1251 AM CDT SAT SEP 27 2014

...The Flood Warning continues for the following rivers in Texas..
  Rio Grande at Presidio International Bridge affecting Presidio 
  County
  Rio Grande below Presidio 5SE affecting Presidio County
  
.Previous heavy rainfall and subsequent runoff into the Rio Conchos 
watershed, along with releases from Luis Leon Reservior, will result
in elevated flows along the Rio Grande from the Presidio International
Bridge downstream.  The river is expected to remain in minor flood for
the next few days.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Motorists are urged to heed flood warnings, and exercise caution if 
traveling through this area.  Vehicle-related fatalities are the 
number one source of flood fatalities in West Texas and New Mexico.
If you encounter a flooded stretch of roadway, do not attempt to  
cross it.  You and your vehicle could be swept downstream in rushing 
floodwaters.  Turn around, don't drown!  

River levels are high.  Ranchers and farmers should move livestock 
and machinery out of flood-prone areas if time permits.

Keep in mind that any additional rainfall across the area could
significantly change the present forecast stage.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river 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 river flood warning went out at Sep 25, 4:58 AM CDT, 5 hours 22 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 25, 4:58 AM CDT, 5 hours 22 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
458 AM CDT Thu Sep 25 2014

.DISCUSSION...

See Aviation Discussion below.

&&

.AVIATION...

VFR conditions will prevail next 24 hours. Buffer soundings
develop a cu field late morning/early afternoon invof KCNM,
KHOB, and KINK, w/bases 2.3-6 kft agl. Plenty of mid/hi cloud will
hamper fog development.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 413 AM CDT Thu Sep 25 2014/

DISCUSSION...

Unfortunately, more heavy rain fell across parts of the area
overnight. The area near Red Bluff Reservoir received 3 to 4 inches
of rain while locations between Hobbs and Gail saw 1 to 3 inches.
The Delaware and Pecos Rivers north of Red Bluff have already
shown a rise this morning. This water will head into Red Bluff
and likely keep lake and river levels high through the week.

A weak upper low continues to affect the area by bringing a chance
for showers and thunderstorms. Similar to yesterday, convection is
expected to form just north of the Permian Basin and move south into
the area during the afternoon. The best chance for storms will be
across northwest portions of the Permian Basin. Heavy rain fell there
yesterday and more is possible today so localized flash flooding
will be a threat. The upper low will remain over the area Friday
while a mid level disturbance moves west across south Texas. This
will increase chances for storms over the lower Trans Pecos. A deep
trough to our west will finally kick the upper low northeast by
Saturday. Weak ridging will then develop over the area keeping rain
chances low and warming temps to near normal this weekend.

The western trough then lifts into the Northern Plains early next
week while transitioning our flow aloft to southwest. This looks
like a very springlike pattern as a dryline sets up across the area.
Models begin to diverge with the overall upper pattern mid to late
week so didn't make many changes to the extended.

Pecos River Flood Update...

The Red Bluff Reservoir spillway discharge decreased Wednesday, but
has began to increase once again this morning due to the heavy
rain overnight. A large increase of water into Red Bluff is not
expected. The Pecos River near Orla crested yesterday and will
continue to fall, however this fall may slow due to last nights
heavy rain. River levels at Pecos are holding steady this morning,
but will slowly begin to rise today. The river will crest tonight
or Friday at Pecos and then slowly fall into the weekend. This
crest appears to be very similar to the one that affected the city
of Pecos Monday.
