  Rio Grande above Presidio 6WNW affecting Presidio County
  Rio Grande at Presidio International Bridge affecting Presidio 
  County
  Rio Grande below Presidio 5SE affecting Presidio County
  Rio Grande At Lajitas 1WNW affecting Brewster and Presidio Counties
  
.Thunderstorms have produced abundant rainfall in the Rio Grande and 
Rio Conchos watersheds over the past few days. As a result, the Rio
Grande has risen to flood stage from the Presidio International Bridge downstream to at least Lajitas. More rainfall is expected tomorrow, and may prolong or increase flooding.

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.

Additional information is available at:  www.weather.gov/midland

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, 6:07 PM CDT, 1 hour 37 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 15, 6:07 PM CDT, 1 hour 37 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
607 PM CDT Sat Jul 15 2017

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF issuance
Scattered storms continue across the area this evening, but should
be dissipating soon after sunset. VFR conditions expected tonight
lasting into Sunday. Afternoon storms are expected again Sunday
afternoon, but timing and location is still up in the air so have
not included in TAFs just yet.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 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.
