The radar

The Midland/Odessa radar (KMAF), 147 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 00:40 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.

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Friday night)
Issued at 135 PM CDT Thu Aug 13 2026

An upper-level ridge is currently centered over southeastern
portions of the CONUS. Meanwhile, a surface trough extends across
western portions of the Permian Basin into the Trans-Pecos. A few
showers and light thunderstorms developed this morning near the axis
of this surface trough. Additional shower and storm development is
expected later this afternoon along this feature, as well as in the
higher terrain thanks to upslope flow and weak disturbances rounding
the western periphery of the ridge. The highest chances (40-50%)
will be in/near the Davis Mountains and Stockton Plateau, with lower
chances (20-30%) across southeast New Mexico, the Permian Basin
(mainly the western two-thirds), the Trans-Pecos, the Big Bend, and
the Presidio Valley. Easternmost counties remain mostly dry today
due to their relative proximity to the ridge, though a couple of
isolated, short-lived showers or storms cannot be totally ruled out.
Similar to previous days, storms that develop could produce strong
to severe winds, small hail, and heavy rainfall that may lead to
localized flash flooding. Temperatures largely top out in the upper
90s to just above 100 degrees (low 90s in the higher terrain). Lows
tonight end up in the low-to-mid 70s for most locations.

Surface troughing hangs around Friday, but the ridge starts to shift
slightly westward (though the highest heights remain well to our
east). As a result, the best moisture and lift (and therefore PoPs)
are displaced a bit farther to the west as well. The highest rain
chances (40-50%) will once again be in the Davis Mountains, with 10-
30% chances confined mainly to southeast New Mexico, the Upper Trans-
Pecos, the Stockton Plateau, the Big Bend, and the Presidio Valley
(with perhaps a storm or two sneaking into the far western Permian
Basin). Highs end up in the mid-to-upper 90s for most locations
again, though 100 degree temperatures become a bit more confined to
the river valleys.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Wednesday)
Issued at 135 PM CDT Thu Aug 13 2026

Models have been consistent with showing the broad upper-level ridge
retrograding to the west over much of the southern CONUS this
weekend and becoming dominant through the middle part of next week.
This feature will continue to yield above normal temperatures each
day, with afternoon highs in the upper 90s for most. Though spots
along the Pecos River and Rio Grande Valleys can expect to see
maximum temperatures above the century mark. Cooler tempertures in
the upper 80s to low 90s can be found in the mountains. Moist
southeasterly upslope flow and maybe some minor disturbances in the
flow aloft could bring isolated to scattered showers and
thunderstorms across the western higher terrain each afternoon
through at least Sunday. After Sunday, shower and storm chances
become less likely, but not completely out of question. Otherwise,
the remainder of the area remains dry through the extended as
sinking motion under the ridge inhibits convective initiation. Low
tempertures continue to range in the 60s in the mountains and 70s
elsewhere.

Greening

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 610 PM CDT Thu Aug 13 2026

TS continues across the Permian Basin with gusty outflow winds and
periodic reductions in visibilities. This will mainly affect
KINK/KMAF through 03Z. Storms will generally dissipate thereafter
with southerly winds around 10 kts and VFR prevailing.
