$$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 Jul 15, 2:45 PM CDT, 42 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 15, 2:45 PM CDT, 42 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 245 PM CDT Sat Jul 15 2017 .DISCUSSION... WV imagery shows the inverted upper trough remains over Chihuahua, nosing NE into West Texas and Southeast New Mexico. Convection developed under this feature last night and moved across the river into West Texas, dropping as much as 1.5" of rainfall in some locations over the last 24 hours. This has resulted in elevated flows on the Rio grande, w/even minor flooding near Presidio. Temperatures remain below normal, especially invof convection out west. The inverted trough is forecast to move slowly west over the next few days, and trying to nose up into the SW CONUS, shifting the upper ridge to north of the Arklatex by 12Z Tue. This will open the door for easterlies to pull in abundant Gulf moisture, w/ensemble showing anomalously high PWATs in central Texas over the next few days. Hi PWATs are also forecast further west near the inverted trough. In short, chances for convection will be on the increase in both the west and east. Hi-res models and radar confirm this, at least for the short term. Lowest chances will be in the Permian Basin. Longer term, models keep bringing shortwaves around the bottom of the ridge and up the Rio Grande, w/easterly upslope flow favoring rain over the higher terrain our west, and the Lwr Trans Pecos south. Increased moisture and the ridge centered well north will allow temperatures each day to stay right around normal. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
