The episode as NWS MAF wrote it up.
An upper level low remained over the area causing showers over the Lower Trans Pecos and eastern Permian Basin. Showers did not affect the already elevated flow through the Pecos River from Red Bluff Reservoir to I-20. The elevated flow was caused by significant rainfall from previous days rains.

NWS Midland/Odessa, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 27, 3:07 AM CST, 53 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 407 AM CDT Sat Sep 27 2014 .DISCUSSION... Today looks like the last day we will have to deal with a pesky upper low that has remained over our region most of this past week. Showers have developed over the lower Trans Pecos and eastern Permian Basin this morning. These locations are on the eastern periphery of the low and will be the main focus today for convection. Heavy rain and localized flash flooding will be possible mainly south of I-20 where atmospheric moisture content remains high. Isolated storms are possible elsewhere, but should not cause much of a concern for flooding. Another upper trough to our west will finally kick out the system over us by Sunday. This should end most rain chances except for possible terrain induced convection in the Davis Mountains. The Western U.S. trough will lift into the Plains Monday and give SE NM and the higher terrain of W TX a chance for storms. Temperatures really warm by midweek under dry, westerly flow aloft. Yet another trough will swing across the Northern Plains late next week and push a cold front south. It appears most of the upper level energy associated with this system will pass well to our north so a dry frontal passage is expected. Cooler temperatures and much drier air will fill in behind the front. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
