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.

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.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 1230 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026 ...New AVIATION... .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. && .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. Hennig && .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. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
