The episode as NWS MAF wrote it up.
A weak upper low continued to affect the area by bringing a chance|for showers and thunderstorms. The area near Red Bluff Reservoir received 3 to 4 inches of rain overnight. Areas of Southern Eddy County had already seen significant rainfall over the last several days. The additional rainfall only aggravated ongoing flooding concerns across the area.
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 Sep 25, 10:25 AM MST, 1 hour 35 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 1225 PM CDT Thu Sep 25 2014 .DISCUSSION... See 18Z aviation discussion below. && .AVIATION... An upper low will bring scattered showers and TS to the area with the best chances being at HOB and CNM. Chance of TS is too low at other TAF sites to put in the forecast at this time and will instead amend as needed. VFR conditions expected through the period with light southeast winds. Hennig && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 413 AM CDT Thu Sep 25 2014/ DISCUSSION... Unfortunately, more heavy rain fell across parts of the area overnight. The area near Red Bluff Reservoir received 3 to 4 inches of rain while locations between Hobbs and Gail saw 1 to 3 inches. The Delaware and Pecos Rivers north of Red Bluff have already shown a rise this morning. This water will head into Red Bluff and likely keep lake and river levels high through the week. A weak upper low continues to affect the area by bringing a chance for showers and thunderstorms. Similar to yesterday, convection is expected to form just north of the Permian Basin and move south into the area during the afternoon. The best chance for storms will be across northwest portions of the Permian Basin. Heavy rain fell there yesterday and more is possible today so localized flash flooding will be a threat. The upper low will remain over the area Friday while a mid level disturbance moves west across south Texas. This will increase chances for storms over the lower Trans Pecos. A deep trough to our west will finally kick the upper low northeast by Saturday. Weak ridging will then develop over the area keeping rain chances low and warming temps to near normal this weekend. The western trough then lifts into the Northern Plains early next week while transitioning our flow aloft to southwest. This looks like a very springlike pattern as a dryline sets up across the area. Models begin to diverge with the overall upper pattern mid to late week so didn't make many changes to the extended. Pecos River Flood Update... The Red Bluff Reservoir spillway discharge decreased Wednesday, but has began to increase once again this morning due to the heavy rain overnight. A large increase of water into Red Bluff is not expected. The Pecos River near Orla crested yesterday and will continue to fall, however this fall may slow due to last nights heavy rain. River levels at Pecos are holding steady this morning, but will slowly begin to rise today. The river will crest tonight or Friday at Pecos and then slowly fall into the weekend. This crest appears to be very similar to the one that affected the city of Pecos Monday. && .MAF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NM...NONE.
