What happened
The episode as NWS MAF wrote it up.
A round of severe thunderstorms brought large hail, damaging winds, and flash flooding to parts of West Texas late on the 1st. Severe thunderstorms initially developed during the late afternoon hours along the mountainous areas. These storms moved east into the adjacent plains, and cold pool interactions generated additional storms near a retreating warm front across the Permian Basin. An isolated supercell thunderstorm tracked across Martin County, and affected the Tarzan and Stanton areas with golfball size hail and damaging winds. Very explosive development occurred during the evening hours along a line from Big Spring to Snyder. These storms also resulted in similar severe weather reports.
What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Midland/Odessa, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 1, 1:00 PM CST, 1 hour 30 minutes earlier.

MESO ETA SHOWALTER HAS -9 OVER NORTHERN CWA LATER TODAY. GIVEN YESTERDAYS HEAVY RAIN OVER PARTS OF THE PERMIAN BASIN... WILL EXPAND THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH SOUTHWARD TO INCLUDE MOST OF EASTERN CWA.

THUNDERSTORMS WHICH WERE DEVELOPING ALONG THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE NEW MEXICO AND WEST TEXAS MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON WILL INTENSIFY AND INCREASE IN COVERAGE AS THEY MOVE EAST INTO THE PLAINS OF THE TRANS PECOS...SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO...AND THE PERMIAN BASIN. THESE STORMS WILL PRODUCE PARTICUARLY HEAVY LOCALLIZED RAINFALL WHICH MAY RESULT IN FLASH FLOODING. DAMAGING THUNDERSTORM WINDS AND LARGE HAIL CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED. A LIMITED THREAT OF AN ISOLATED TORNADO CAN NOT BE RULED OUT...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE UPPER TRANS PECOS AND PERMIAN BASIN. AREAS WHICH ARE MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE SEVERE WEATHER TONIGHT INCLUDE LOCATIONS EAST OF LINE FROM FORT STOCKTON...TO WINK...TO HOBBS. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. ANY THUNDERSTORMS WHICH DEVELOP WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME SEVERE. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BECOME NECESSARY THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT GENERALLY EAST OF THE PECOS RIVER. TECHNICAL DISCUSSION... A WELL DEFINED UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO/WEST TEXAS BORDER THIS AFTERNOON. THIS FEATURE WILL AID THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE REGION. AT THE SURFACE...A WARM FRONT WILL MOVE NORTH ACROSS THE PERMIAN BASIN. MANY OTHER BOUNDARIES LIKELY EXIST ACROSS THE REGION IN THE WAKE OF EARLIER CONVECTION. AN VERY MOIST ATMOSPHERE AND NEARLY FULL SUNSHINE WILL RESULT IN A VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS WITH LIFTED INDEX VALUES NEAR -10 DEGREES. WITH THE DEGREE OF MOISTURE/INSTABILITY AND RECENT HEAVY RAIN EVENTS...EXPECT FLASH FLOODING TO BE A PRIMARY CONCERN OVER THE BASIN. INVERTED V BOUNDARY LAYER PROFILES AND RELATIVELY LOW FREEZING LEVELS SUPPORT AN ENHANCED THREAT OF DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. SHEAR PROFILES WILL BECOME MORE FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE EVENING HOURS. ALTHOUGH EXTREMLY LIMITED...GIVEN THESE FACTORS AN ISOLATED TORNADO CAN NOT BE RULED OUT...ESPECIALLY NEAR BOUNDARIES. LINDLEY
