The radar

The Ft Hood radar (KGRK), 111 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 10:24 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

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.

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Hot and humid conditions return for Sunday and Monday, with heat
  index values again climbing to near or above the 105 mark in
  some areas. A Heat Advisory may be needed.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 141 AM CDT Sat Jun 20 2026

A small scale low pressure aloft (MCV) is evident in satellite
imagery to the south of Junction as of 1:30 AM CDT. This
disturbance has supported scattered thunderstorm development to
the southeast of Junction. Most of the model guidance continues to
depict this disturbance moving off to the north and northeast. We
may see some of the scattered thunderstorms eventually drift into
our area along the I-10 corridor near Junction as well as areas
northeast of there towards San Saba. Chances are low (30%) across
those locations given the bulk of the activity should be off to
our southeast. Ample moisture and slow storm motions will allow
for some risk of localized flooding to occur for any cells that do
move into our area. The Weather Prediction Center has this
portion of our area outlooked in a Marginal Risk (5 to 15% chance)
for excessive rainfall that leads to flash flooding.

Otherwise, most locations north of a San Angelo to Brady line
should remain dry today. Highs will continue to rise with most
locations settling into the upper 80s to middle 90s.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 1229 AM CDT Sat Jun 20 2026

Main weather story will be the return of the hot and humid
conditions for at least Sunday and Monday, as the upper level
ridge remains in control across the area. Model blends show
highs inching above the 100 degree mark across the western third
of the area for Sunday and western half of the area by Monday.
Evapotranspiration from the rain on Saturday (and the fairly wet
last month) will again help keep low level moisture in place.
Forecasted heat index values again climb to near or above the 105
mark across at least much of the Big Country and Concho Valley,
and perhaps east into the Heartland again as well.

Upper level ridge builds across the Southwest US for mid week,
creating a little more northwest flow aloft. Shortwave dropping
through may be enough to help trigger more convection across
Oklahoma and the Panhandle, with either the convection itself or
associated outflow boundaries pushing south across the Red River
into the Big Country to trigger more convection. Best POPs are
Monday night into Tuesday morning, and then again Tuesday night
into Wednesday morning with low to medium chances in place
(20-40%) for areas north of I-20.

Temperatures remain hot through the rest of the week, but models
do suggest a little drying as wet soils dry out. This may be
enough to drop heat index values back down to roughly match actual
temperatures and below heat advisory criteria.

&&

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1217 AM CDT Sat Jun 20 2026

Current radar observations (as of 520z) shows scattered rain
showers and thunderstorms south of KJCT. This activity may
develop, or shift, north and affect KJCT and KBBD on Saturday
morning. Chances are fairly low (30% chance) for this to impact a
terminal directly. Otherwise, a brief window for MVFR ceilings
across areas near the I-10 corridor overnight tonight.
