MDT/ THIS AFTERNOON FOR EAST CENTRAL CULBERSON, NORTH CENTRAL JEFF
DAVIS, REEVES AND WEST CENTRAL WARD COUNTIES...

At 1259 PM CDT /1159 AM MDT/, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms
producing heavy rain across the warned area. Up to 1 inch of rain has
fallen. The expected rainfall rate is 0.5 to 1 inch in 1 hour. Flash
flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly.

HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms.

SOURCE...Radar indicated.

IMPACT...Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas,
         highways, streets and underpasses as well as other poor
         drainage and low-lying areas.

Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Pecos, Kent, Toyah, Balmorhea, Barstow, Saragosa, Balmorhea State
  Park, Balmorhea Lake, Verhalen, Toyahvale, Pecos Municipal Airport
  and Toyah Lake.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.

In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are
potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded
roads. Find an alternate route.

.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 645 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
  Saturday.

- Warmer and drier conditions return next week.

.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.

(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 645 AM CDT Wed Jun 3 2026

Showers and thunderstorms are diminishing this morning with some
lingering the next few hours near MAF/FST. More activity will
develop later today with CNM/HOB most likely to see something near
00Z. Cannot rule out SHRA/TS at other locations but uncertainty in
location and timing is very high.
