What happened
The episode as NWS MAF wrote it up.
Afternoon thunderstorms developed late in the day and formed a line from Fort Davis to near Monahans, and slowly moved northeast. The 06/10/99 00z upper air sounding at Midland indicated the atmosphere was very unstable. The Permian Basin was in the front left quadrant of the jet stream with an approaching weak upper level disturbance, but the atmosphere lacked the wind shear necessary for supercell storm development. By evening, some of the storms had become severe producing several one inch hail reports and one flash flood event.
The radar
The Midland/Odessa radar (KMAF), 42 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 01:49 UTC.
