The radar

The Midland/Odessa radar (KMAF), 145 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 11:16 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

Midland Regional, TX (KMAF), launched 00:00Z, 11.2 hours before the alert went out and 146 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.

.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 137 AM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026

- Good shower and thunderstorm chances (40-60%) continue 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 through

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Thursday afternoon)
Issued at 137 AM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026

Current radar this morning shows the expected MCS moving out of
southeastern New Mexico and into the western Permian Basin. The
outflow boundary is beginning to outrun the convective complex
which may inhibit additional development and cause the demise of
this system. In the northeast, convection is developing near
Snyder along an old outflow boundary that has moved in and become
stationary. Hi- res models show these two areas of precipitation
merging later this morning over the northern Permian Basin and
then diminishing.

Beyond that models diverge on the evolving weather pattern in the
short term. Weak heights aloft and abundant low level moisture
should provide enough instability for continuing rain chances. The
problem is that there is no strong upper level feature, or well
defined low level feature, to focus convective development. Storms
will form in favored higher elevations, along weak/transient
boundaries, or from simple differential afternoon heating.
Everyone has a chance to see some rainfall but due to the
scattered nature of the storms, there will be some who get no
precip at all. Highs will be quite pleasant for this time of year
only reaching the 80s everywhere except the Rio Grande valley
which will get into the 90s.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 137 AM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026

Modest rain chances continue into the extended as an upper shear
axis remains stationary from western Oklahoma to southeastern New
Mexico and into Mexico. The rain and cloud cover will keep
temperatures below normal through the end of the week as highs
remain in the 80s.

Low pressure develops on the southern end of this axis over
Mexico and moves northeast into Texas on Saturday, then leaving
the region on Sunday. Rain chances come to an end with the exit of
the low as a ridge builds in and provides increasing stability.
Highs rise back up to near normal next week as highs get back into
the 90s.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1223 AM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026

A cluster of storms has developed into a messy line that
currently spans from the north-central Permian Basin, southwest
toward Van Horn. Scattered storms continue to develop along this
line, with northwesterly outflow gusting between 30-40kts,
occasionally higher. This system looks to continue through much
of the overnight hours, bringing gusty winds and scattered storms
to most terminals. Expect amendments as necessary and occasional
moments of MVFR conditions. Storm activity looks to largely
diminish around sunrise, before redeveloping Wednesday afternoon.
