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, 7.3 hours before the alert went out and 315 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.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 1210 PM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1159 AM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026 - Isolated to scattered storm chances exist this afternoon, mainly across the higher elevations. - Cold front approaches the region on Sunday bringing higher rain chances through Monday. Will be monitoring for heavy rainfall leading to flash flooding. - The hottest temperatures of the season so far are possible by the middle of next week with many locations experiencing their first 100 degree day. && .SHORT TERM... (Today through Sunday afternoon) Issued at 328 AM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026 Today sees temperatures move a few degrees higher compared to yesterday with many areas reaching into the low to mid 90s. Temperatures near 100F will be seen along the Pecos and Rio Grande River valleys. With slightly less upper level support available, shower and storm chances will be slightly lower across the region overall with the highest chances remaining over the Davis Mountains. Convection should mostly decay overnight tonight, but a cold front will approach Sunday morning. Rain chances will increase with and behind the front as it acts as a focus for activity to develop along. Temperatures south of the front will stay near to above normal in the 90s. North of the front where cloud cover keeps it cooler, temperatures may only reach into the 80s. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday night through Friday) Issued at 328 AM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026 The cold front mentioned in the short term above stalls out across the Permian Basin or as far south as the Pecos River Valley. Scattered showers and storms will continue through Sunday evening and into Monday morning. Moderate to heavy rainfall will be seen with some of the more organized storms making flash flooding a threat once again. A few storms may become strong to severe with large hail and damaging winds being the main hazards. Rain and clouds keep the region cooler with many areas only making it into the low 80s. By that evening, rain chances decrease as a drier northwest flow aloft takes hold. Tuesday will be drier with temperatures moving back into the upper 80s to low 90s. The heat is on for Wednesday and Thursday as low level flow shifts more southerly to southwesterly. Wednesday looks to be the first day of the year where Midland reaches 100F for the first time this year. The average first 100F day at MAF is May 31st, so this is later in the year than normal, but not unprecedented. -Stickney && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1159 AM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026 Ceilings have lifted above 3000ft which will continue through most of the period. Breezy southeasterly to southerly winds (10-15 kts sustained) are expected again this afternoon and early evening at most terminals where occasional gusts up to 25-30 kts may occur, especially at MAF and FST sites. Isolated TS is in store this afternoon and early evening where highest confidence in occurrence at CNM. Very low confidence remains at INK, PEQ, and FST. A cold front is forecast to enter northern sites by tomorrow morning (10-13Z timeframe). This will bring breezy northerly winds, along with CIGs below 3000ft across most terminals. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
