The episode as NWS MAF wrote it up.
A dryline was set up against across the higher terrain before moving eastward through the afternoon. Upper air disturbances moved across the region providing upper level lift. Instability was high with good moisture in place, and enough wind shear was present to sustain organized thunderstorms that produced large damaging hail and damaging winds.
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 12, 2:23 PM CST, 1 hour 22 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX Issued by National Weather Service SAN ANGELO TX 323 PM CDT Mon Jun 12 2017 .DISCUSSION... Not many changes to the current forecast as the ridge rules. WV imagery shows the west coast upper trough has begun its NE trajectory, and centered over the junction of NV/UT/ID. Further south, the upper ridge remains centered over Durango, Mexico, and nosing NE into Texas. Surface obs/analysis shows the dryline backed up against the western mountains, and this feature should begin mixing east at any time. Despited warm temperatures aloft, convergence along the dryline was enough to initiate convection over the lower Trans Pecos/Big Bend yesterday afternoon. H7 temperatures on today's 12Z KMAF RAOB came in about 1C cooler than yesterday, so a repeat of isolated activity seems likely this afternoon/evening, as well as the next couple of days. Forecast soundings yield CAPEs in excess of 2000 J/kg and steep lapse rates each afternoon, and deep layer shear increasing Tue/Wed for organized convection along the dryline. Wet-bulb zero heights are getting to the upper limit for large hail, but high CCLs will leave the door open for damaging winds, and we'll mention this in the HWO. As the west coast trough ejects up into Canada, the Mexican ridge will begin building north into the SW CONUS, dominating the extended forecast. This will keep the thermal ridge axis generally just west of the CWA, allowing continued triple-digit temps many locations each afternoon. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
