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.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 151 PM CDT Wed Jun 10 2026 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 118 PM CDT Wed Jun 10 2026 - Hot temperatures return across the area today and Thursday. The hottest temperatures (highs between 104-108, locally nearing 110) will be along the Rio Grande and in the Pecos River Valley. - Temperatures cool down a touch this weekend before a cold front brings even cooler conditions early next week. - Near daily rain chances are forecast for western portions of our area through the end of the week. By early next week, rain chances become low to medium areawide. && .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. Greening && .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. Hennig && .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. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
