The radar

The Holloman AFB radar (KHDX), 66 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 22:24 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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

Santa Teresa, NM (KEPZ), launched 12:00Z, 10.4 hours before the alert went out and 168 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.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 12, 3:45 PM MDT, 39 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
345 PM MDT SUN JUL 12 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT...MOSTLY OVER THE
MOUNTAINS AND FROM DEMING WEST. HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WHICH HAS
PRETTY MUCH SNUFFED OUT ANY CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE
LOWLANDS...WILL REMAIN OVER THE TEXAS PANHANDLE THROUGH MONDAY AND
THEN TO FAR EAST TEXAS BY TUESDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS TO COVER MOST OF THE BORDERLAND. EXPECT MORE
THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
ADEQUATE MOISTURE WILL EXIST FOR SOME FLOOD POTENTIAL. THE UPPER
HIGH WILL BEGIN BUILDING BACK FROM EAST TEXAS TO THE BORDERLAND
FRIDAY OVER THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL LIKELY LIMIT THUNDERSTORMS BACK
TO THE MOUNTAINS AND NEAR THE ARIZONA BORDER. TEMPERATURES WILL
WARM BACK UP ABOVE NORMAL FOR MUCH OF THIS WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
CONVECTION SO FAR IS OCCURRING ABOUT WHERE WE THOUGHT...OVER THE
MOUNTAINS AND WEST OF THE DIVIDE...AS UPPER HIGH CENTERED OVER THE
TEXAS PANHANDLE HAS SUPPRESSED ANY ACTION OVER THE EASTERN
LOWLANDS. STRONG/SEVERE STORMS ON BOTH ENDS OF THE CWA BUT LITTLE
IN BETWEEN DUE TO THE HIGH. HRRR SHOWS NICE OUTFLOW FROM ARIZONA
MOVING EAST TO AT LEAST DEMING BY THIS EVENING. SEVERAL RUNS ON
THIS FOR CONSISTENCY...THOUGH GUST SPEEDS HAVE DIMINISHED LAST RUN
OR TWO. TPW PRODUCT SHOWS PW'S STILL AROUND 1.0-1.1 INCH ACROSS
THE AREA SO SOME HEAVY RAINFALL AND LOCAL FLOODING WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. EXPECT MUCH THE SAME MONDAY AGAIN AS
UPPER HIGH JUST BEGINS TO MOVE EAST. FOR MONDAY AIRMASS SHOWS GOOD
INSTABILITY MOUNTAINS AND DEMING WEST...THOUGH PW'S OF 1+ INCH
ONLY FROM DEMING WEST.

BY TUESDAY UPPER HIGH IS OVER FAR EAST TEXAS AND SUBSIDENCE
SUPPRESSION SHOULD EASE OVER THE EASTERN ZONES...POPS BACK IN ALL
AREAS TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...THOUGH MODELS SUGGESTING BY
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY RIDGING DEVELOPING WESTWARD FROM CENTER MAY
SUPPRESS STORMS AGAIN IN THE EAST. GFS SHOWING PW'S REMAINING
AROUND 1 INCH...BUT SLOW STORM MOVEMENT SPEEDS COULD STILL LEAD TO
LOCAL FLOOD POTENTIAL.

FOR THE WEEKEND...REGIME OF MOUNTAIN AND FAR WEST THUNDERSTORMS
AGAIN AS UPPER RIDGE LIKELY TOO MUCH FOR THE EAST. GFS LONG TERM
SHOWS UPPER HIGH RE-CENTERING TO OUR WEST...WITH NORTHERLY FLOW
BRINGING BACK DOOR FRONT AND INCREASED CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ALL
AREAS. ECMWF MORE INCLINED TO KEEP UPPER HIGH OVER TEXAS. WILL
HAVE TO WATCH THIS PLAY OUT.

&&

.AVIATION...VALID 13/00Z-14/00Z.
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN WILL LIMIT STORM DEVELOPMENT TO FAR NORTH
AND WEST LOCATIONS EARLY IN THE PERIOD. IN GENERAL EXPECT VFR
CONDITIONS WITH P6SM FEW-SCT080-100 SCT-BKN250 AND WINDS AOB 12 KTS.
HOWEVER VRB15G30KT ISO-SCT -TSRA WILL BE POSSIBLE AT TCS AND DMN
THRU 06Z WITH BRIEF EXCURSIONS INTO MVFR VISIBILITIES ASSOCIATED
WITH HEAVIER PRECIP.

.FIRE WEATHER...
HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT OVER TEXAS WILL CONTINUE TO EXERT AN
INFLUENCE ON THE REGION FOR SEVERAL DAYS TO COME. THIS WILL LIMIT
MOST WETTING RAIN CHANCES TO AREAS WEST OF THE RIO GRANDE AND OVER
THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS AS ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED STORMS DEVELOP EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AFTERNOON
TEMPS WILL RUN A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL WITH MIN RH VALUES IN
THE UPPER TEENS TO LOW 20 PERCENT RANGE FOR THE LOWLANDS AND
AROUND 30 PERCENT FOR HIGHER TERRAIN FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK AHEAD.
OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS...WINDS WILL REMAIN FAIRLY LIGHT BUT VENT
RATES WILL STILL MANAGE TO REACH THE GOOD TO VERY GOOD CATEGORY
FOR MOST OF THE REGION THANKS TO HIGHER MIXING HEIGHTS.
