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
Brownsville Intl, TX (KBRO), launched 12:00Z, 4.5 hours before the alert went out and 72 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.

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
358 AM CDT FRI OCT 30 2015
.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...SATELLITE AND RADAR
IMAGES CONTINUE TO INDICATE CONVECTION DEVELOPING ACROSS
PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST MEXICO AND SOUTHWEST TEXAS INTO PORTIONS
OF THE HILL COUNTRY EARLY THIS MORNING. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND
SOUTH TX THIS MORNING AND SPREAD EASTWARD THIS AFTERNOON AS LOW
PRESSURE CONTINUES TO DEVELOP ACROSS NORTHWEST TX AHEAD OF THE
500MB TROUGH ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES AND NORTHWEST
MEXICO. LOW TO MID LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE HIGH ACROSS THE CWA
TODAY INTO TONIGHT BEFORE THE SURFACE LOW ACROSS NORTHWEST TX
MOVES EASTWARD SATURDAY BRINGING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA SAT
AFTERNOON. RAIN CHANCES WILL BE HIGH TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT BEFORE
DRIER AIR FILTERS INTO THE CWA IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT SATURDAY.
THE MAIN IMPACT CONTINUES TO BE THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL
THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING BUT THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR
GUSTY WINDS AND SMALL HAIL WITH STRONGER STORMS. WITH THE RECENT
FLOOD ISSUES ACROSS PORTIONS OF HIDALGO AND WILLACY COUNTIES FROM
THE HEAVY RAINFALL THAT FELL LAST WEEKEND...HAVE DECIDED TO ISSUE
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR HIDALGO...WILLACY AND CAMERON COUNTIES
TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT AS THE GROUND IN PORTIONS OF THESE COUNTIES
REMAIN SATURATED OR NEAR SATURATED. ANY HEAVY RAINFALL THAT FALLS
ACROSS SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF HIDALGO COUNTY AND EASTERN PORTIONS
OF WILLACY COUNTY WILL PRODUCE FLASH FLOODING.
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
EXITS THE AREA INTO SUNDAY WITH ABUNDANT DRY AIR FILTERING IN WITH
NORTHWEST FLOW BEHIND IT. MOISTURE CONTENT WILL LOWER ACROSS THE
CWA WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES LOWERING TO LESS THAN AN INCH.
AS THE DRY AIR MASS MOVES INTO THE AREA THE CHANCES OF RAIN WILL
BECOME LIMITED THROUGH NEXT WEEK. EXPECT A PLEASANT EVENING SATURDAY
NIGHT WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 80S FOR HALLOWEEN FESTIVITIES
WITH LOW HUMIDITY AND SKIES GRADUALLY CLEARING. OVERNIGHT TEMPS WILL
COOL DOWN INTO THE 60S SUNDAY MORNING WITH CLEAR SKIES AND THE 50S
TO LOW 60S BY MONDAY MORNING. ABUNDANT SUNSHINE WILL KEEP HIGH
TEMPERATURES WARM THROUGH THE PERIOD. LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY
ANOTHER TROUGH DIGS S ALONG THE PAC COAST ENTERING THE US. THIS
WILL RESULT IN SHIFTING WINDS SE ACROSS DEEP SOUTH TEXAS MOVING A
WARM FRONT NORTH INTO TUESDAY. THE GULF MOISTURE WILL INCREASE THE
POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED SHOWERS INTO TUE. A FEW RIPPLES WITHIN THE
UPPER LEVEL FLOW IN ADDITION TO THE INSTABILITY IN THE AREA WILL
ENHANCE ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN NEAR NORMAL ACROSS THE AREA WITH AN
INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER WITH THE CONVECTION EXPECTED. PRESSURE
GRADIENT STRENGTHENS INCREASING SE WINDS ACROSS THE AREA.
&&
.MARINE...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY...SEAS WERE NEAR 5 FEET WITH SOUTH-
SOUTHEAST WINDS NEAR 19 KNOTS AT BUOY020 EARLY THIS MORNING. STRONG
SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS TODAY AS LOW
PRESSURE ACROSS NORTHWEST TEXAS INCREASES THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
ACROSS THE LOWER TEXAS COAST. WILL ISSUE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR
THE LAGUNA MADRE TODAY AND TONIGHT AND CONTINUE SCA FOR THE OFFSHORE
WATERS TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT AS WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN HIGH AS
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS STRONG ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS.
STRONG SOUTH WINDS TONIGHT WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST AND DIMINISH
SATURDAY AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE COASTAL WATERS SAT
AFTERNOON. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE EXTENDED FOR THE
OFFSHORE WATERS SATURDAY BEFORE WINDS AND SEAS DIMINISH IN THE WAKE
OF THE FRONT.
SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...A FEW SHOWERS WILL STILL LINGER
ACROSS THE OFFSHORE WATERS EARLY SAT NIGHT AS THE TROUGH GRADUALLY
SHIFTS EAST. DRY AIR MASS BEHIND THIS TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO THE
REGION LIMITING THE POTENTIAL FOR ANY ADDITIONAL RAIN. THE SE
WINDS WILL DIMINISH AND SHIFT NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT AND
REMAIN LESS THAN 15 KNOTS. THIS WILL LOWER SEAS BACK TO LESS THAN
4 FEET WITH SCA CONDITIONS NOT CONTINUING. SEAS SUBSIDE MONDAY
THROUGH TUESDAY AS WINDS LOWER. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE DIGS SOUTH
ALONG THE W COAST RETURNING SE FLOW ACROSS THE GULF WATERS AND
RETURNING WARM FRONT ACROSS THE REGION LATE MON NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY. SEAS WILL BEGIN TO BUILD WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SCEC OVER
THE OFFSHORE WATERS INTO WEDNESDAY WITH A ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING.
