The radar

The Midland/Odessa radar (KMAF), 191 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 20:49 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 12:00Z, 8.8 hours before the alert went out and 190 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.

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Thursday night)
Issued at 118 PM CDT Wed Jun 10 2026

Water vapor imagery shows a broad trough over western portions of
the CONUS and ridging across the northeast. Meanwhile, zonal flow
aloft and 500mb heights around 590 decimeters maintain hot
temperatures. With that said, highs in the upper 90s and above the
century mark are to be commonplace this afternoon and Thursday.
Many spots along the Pecos River Valley and the Rio Grande can
expect to see highs top out between 104 and 108 degrees, with some
spots along the border (including the Big Bend) seeing
temperatures approach 110 degrees. While temperatures don't quite
meet Heat Advisory criteria, we cannot stress enough the
importance of drinking plenty of fluids (water and electrolyte
drinks) and taking frequent breaks under shade or inside a
building with air conditioning. This is especially for those who
work outside or spend a lot of time outdoors.

The other side of the weather story today and tomorrow are the
chances of isolated to scattered shower/thunderstorms. Upslope
flow and weak forcing along the dryline yield low (10-30%) chances
of showers/storms across the higher terrain through the western
Permian Basin this afternoon and evening. By tomorrow, chances
(20-40%) mainly reside in and around the Davis Mountains as weak
upslope flow persists. A few storms may become strong, capable of
producing gusty winds, small hail, and localized flash flooding
with the heaviest rainfall (though the overall severe and flash
flood threat is low). Farther to the east, winds become breezy
(15-20 mph sustained) in response to surface troughing across
eastern portions of the Permian Basin and Lower Trans-Pecos. Lows
tonight and tomorrow night remain in the low-to-mid 70s for most.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through Tuesday)
Issued at 118 PM CDT Wed Jun 10 2026

Low level flow becomes slightly more southeasterly on Friday
providing better access to cooler gulf air with this pattern
continuing into the weekend. Therefore temperatures should cool
slightly on Friday, getting closer to normal for this time of year
with highs reaching the mid to upper 90s for most areas, low 100s
in the river valleys. Temps remain seasonably hot Saturday but the
pattern becomes more uncertain on Sunday.

Models depict a large trough moving into the upper Midwest pushing
a cold front into West Texas and eastern New Mexico on Sunday.
How far south this front makes it will greatly determine the highs
and rain chances for Sunday afternoon. The current NBM is trying
to have it's cake and eat it too; showing hot temperatures like
the front fails to arrive, while increasing rain chances like the
front does arrive. The more likely solution may be the front
makes it into the area if not on it's own then with an assist from
outflow from convection in the TX Panhandle. Even if it doesn't
quite make it this far south the likely increase in cloud cover
should cool temps down a couple of degrees so the greatest
uncertainty lies in the temperature forecast. High pressure behind
the front builds south Monday and Tuesday providing a return of
below normal temperatures and continuing what has been a mild
start to the summer so far. The best rain chances are closer to
the front and push into the Big Bend by Tuesday. An upper ridge
then builds into the Great Plains by late in the week bringing
hotter and drier conditions to the CWA.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1221 PM CDT Wed Jun 10 2026

VFR conditions prevail at all terminals the next 24 hours. Southerly
to south/southeasterly winds persist for most, with gusts ranging
between 20-25 knots this afternoon and evening. A couple of showers
and thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and evening across the
Trans Pecos and Stockton Plateau. However, confidence in coverage is
lacking. Have thus included PROB30s for TS at FST, PEQ, and INK from
19Z-01Z to account for this.
