The radar

The Midland/Odessa radar (KMAF), 230 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 19:40 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.

The nearest sounding before it

Del Rio, TX (KDRT), launched 12:00Z, 7.7 hours before the alert went out and 305 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.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash 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 flash flood warning went out at Jun 2, 12:30 PM CDT, 2 hours 9 minutes earlier. Its key messages:

  • Updated at 1222 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026
  • Today will be the last day with highs in the 90s. Temperatures are cooler the rest of the week only reaching the 80s.
  • Rain chances increase from the Guadalupe to the Davis mountains this afternoon and spread east overnight. There will be a good chance for rainfall over much of the area the remainder of the week, with localized flash flooding the main threat.

- Today will be the last day with highs in the 90s. Temperatures
  are cooler the rest of the week only reaching the 80s.

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 234 AM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026

Everything is quiet on satellite and radar this morning. This
changes later this afternoon as a negatively tilted trough over
the Baja of Mexico moves closer to New Mexico and Texas. A
disturbance ahead of the deeper trough moves across our CWA this
evening and tonight causing showers and thunderstorms to develop
in the higher elevations west of the Pecos River, then move east
to the adjacent plains overnight. Models are in good agreement
that an MCS develops over southeastern New Mexico but diverge on
how this system evolves with some moving it southeast into Texas
while others leave it nearly stationary. Climatology would favor
this system moving southeast, especially with a low level jet
feeding it moisture from the southeast, so PoPs shift east into
Wednesday. Highs today will be near normal then clouds and
rainfall bring highs down into the 80s on Wednesday.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through Monday)
Issued at 234 AM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026

The upper pattern late in the week can best be described as
chaotic. There isn't a strong upper system (low or high) in place
to dominate the weather pattern. This time of year though, lower
heights aloft, low level gulf moisture, and daytime heating
usually favors scattered afternoon/evening convection. The NBM
PoPs may be a bit high given that it is an ensemble forecast and
has difficulty in scattered convective events where individual
storms show in many different areas over various model runs.
Therefore despite the high PoPs over several days, there are
likely to be times when convection diminishes or locations get
missed due to the scattered nature of the individual storms.
Still, most locations should see at least a quarter of an inch by
the end of the week and a few isolated locations could see much
more. WPC QPF is enough to consider the issuance of a flood watch
but will not issue at this time due to low confidence in amounts
and timing. Temperatures during the rain event this week will be
below normal with highs generally in the 80s.

The upper pattern finally gets a strong feature Saturday when a
low develops over northern Mexico and moves northeast into West
Texas on Sunday. Subsidence on the back of the departing low
finally decreases rain chances and pushes temperatures back up to
near normal for early next week as highs get back into the 90s.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1222 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026

VFR conditions prevail. Showers and thunderstorms begin to develop
this afternoon in the higher terrain west of the Pecos River.
Convection gradually spreads closer to TAF sites this evening and
overnight. PROB30s have been maintained for all sites, and
amendments may be necessary later this evening to add TEMPOs for
thunderstorms (particularly at FST or CNM). Gusty southeasterly
winds diminish overnight (outside of any wind from nearby
thunderstorms). Winds briefly become northeasterly overnight before
becoming southeasterly again by the end of the period.
