The radar
The El Paso radar (KEPZ), 213 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:56 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, 9.9 hours before the alert went out and 413 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.

- Updated at 219 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026

- Cloud cover and rain chances keep temperatures below normal Wednesday through Saturday.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 300 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 219 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026 - Shower and thunderstorm chances increase across much of west Texas and southeast New Mexico starting tonight through at least Friday. We will be keeping a close eye on the flash flood potential during this time. - Cloud cover and rain chances keep temperatures below normal Wednesday through Saturday. && .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Wednesday night) Issued at 219 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026 An active weather pattern once again develops for west Texas and southeast New Mexico starting this afternoon. Upper-level troughing is evident this afternoon near southern California. This trough will gradually make its way towards our area through the rest of the week. In the meantime, once again this afternoon scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop across the higher terrain west of the Pecos River. Similar to yesterday, storms that develop this afternoon could become strong to marginally severe, posing a large hail and damaging wind threat. For tonight, the latest runs of convective-allowing models have come into better agreement depicting a cluster of storms developing in southeast New Mexico and moving across the Permian Basin. By this time, precipitable water will have increased to 1.0-1.5 inches across the area, which is well over the 90th percentile (approaching daily record territory). As a result, flash flooding will be our main concern as this cluster moves across these areas. The cluster of storms clears the area by Wednesday morning. After that occurs, forecast confidence becomes lower overall. Guidance indicates there may be a general break in activity late Wednesday morning into the afternoon for portions of the area (mainly much of the Permian Basin and southeast New Mexico). However, medium (40- 60%) PoPs are maintained in the higher terrain west of the Pecos thanks to continued upslope flow. Additional showers and thunderstorms may once again move across portions of southeast New Mexico and the Permian Basin Wednesday night/early Thursday morning, but convective-allowing models have been notably slower to catch onto this solution than coarser resolution models. In any case, rain chances will continue from early Thursday morning through portions of the Long Term Period as the trough continues its slow approach towards our area. While issuing a Flood Watch was heavily considered on this shift, low confidence in shower/storm coverage after tonight and the potential for long breaks in activity dissuaded us from doing so yet. That being said, should model agreement increase and converge towards a wetter solution Wednesday onward, a watch may be deemed necessary later on (especially given our anomalously high PWATs and antecedent wet soils). Otherwise, highs today top out in the upper 80s and low 90s, but fall into the 80s for most tomorrow thanks to dense cloud cover. Sprang && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through Monday) Issued at 219 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026 The unsettled weather pattern will continue across west Texas and southeast New Mexico through the latter part of the week. A slow moving upper-level trough will remain oriented over eastern New Mexico and west Texas Thursday into Thursday night. An upper-level low will gradually become cut off over the vicinity of Sonora/ Chihuahua MX on Friday. Abundant deep-layer moisture will remain oriented over our forecast area ahead of this system through late this week with precipitable water values remaining very high between 1.0-1.4 inches. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will develop across the region Thursday into Friday, with the best chances (50-70 percent) focused from the Permian Basin to the Lower Trans Pecos/Davis Mountains/Marfa Plateau/ Big Bend region. We will need to continue to monitor the potential for locally heavy rainfall and an associated flooding threat with storms that develop in the moist airmass across our region late this week. A few strong to marginally severe storms will be possible during the afternoon and evening. Temperatures will remain below normal through the end of the week with highs mostly in the 80s and lows generally in the 60s. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop across the region on Saturday as the upper-level trough axis remains over the region. This feature finally shifts to the east of our region on Sunday with upper-level ridging building in through Monday. Convection will become much less in coverage and mainly relegated to the eastern Permian Basin/Lower Trans Pecos both days. Temperatures heat back up into the 90s Sunday and Monday. && .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...
