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, 10.0 hours before the alert went out and 308 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 239 PM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 149 PM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026 - Isolated to scattered storm chances exist this afternoon, mainly across the Davis Mountains. - 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... (This afternoon through Sunday night) Issued at 149 PM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026 Current radar shows a few showers and thunderstorms developing in the Davis Mountains this afternoon. CAMs have handled this well and indicate that convection this afternoon will be less than that seen yesterday. Rain out west diminishes after dark and we then shift our focus to the north as a cold front slowly moves into West Texas and eastern New Mexico. An upper disturbance will cause storms to fire along the front to our north, and the rain will stay closely associated with the front as they move south together. Sunday will be cooler regardless of whether the front arrives before peak heating or not. Increasing clouds and showers, along with more easterly flow advecting in cooler gulf air will shave several degrees off today's highs, especially across the northern Permian Basin. The QPF is not overly impressive with storm total precipitation totals only showing 0.25-0.50" so do not anticipate needing a Flood Watch at this time though it should be stressed that it is certainly possible isolated areas of flooding will be possible and everyone should remain alert for. && .LONG TERM... (Monday through Friday) Issued at 149 PM CDT Sat Jun 13 2026 The main area of showers and storms shifts south Sunday night and into Monday along with the surface cold front. Abundant moisture will continue rain chances in the Permian Basin but the heavier rainfall will more likely be in the lower Trans Pecos and Big Bend. High pressure building in behind the front on Monday gives well below normal temperatures, mainly in the 80s with only a few 90s along the Rio Grande. Rain moves south of the area on Tuesday as the cold front reaches south central Texas and a return of southerly winds brings highs back into the 90s, though still slightly below normal. Below normal temps abruptly end Wednesday as high pressure along the western U.S./Mexico border builds east. Models have been consistently showing Wednesday and Thursday would be dry with many locations seeing their first 100 degree day of the summer season. This has been a cool start to our summer and it had to come to an end some time, it appears Wednesday is that day. Given the cool start to the summer, some may not be acclimated to the hotter temperatures expected so despite temps not quite reaching Heat Advisory criteria, everyone should be alert for the potential for heat stress. Hennig && .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...
