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.

.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.

.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.
