The episode as NWS MAF wrote it up.
A weak upper level low pressure was near the Texas coast. An outflow boundary from previous thunderstorms was across the Permian Basin. Instability was in place and the boundary created a focus for thunderstorms to develop. These storms produced a strong wind gust.
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.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 243 PM CDT Sun Jun 30 2019 .DISCUSSION... West Texas and eastern New Mexico are currently caught between high pressure to the west and a weak upper level low near the Texas coast. The low will slowly drift westward through the early part of next week and lower heights aloft will gradually increase instability. Current satellite is already showing some effects of this with an agitated cumulus field and even a few showers developing over the Permian Basin where an outflow boundary from earlier convection is helping with low level convergence. While these showers are a promising sign for possible rain this week, the upper low is not expected to progress farther west than central Texas which will make convective initiation more difficult lacking a trigger other than daytime heating. Therefore the highest PoPs this forecast will be west of the Pecos River and especially in the Davis and Guadalupe Mountains where orographics will provide that extra lift. These areas could use more rainfall since they are still a tad behind areas farther east in rain amounts this year. Models are notoriously bad at forecasting westward moving lows and inverted troughs so should this system move over West Texas, then we could see higher chances for the eastern CWA than currently forecast. 500mb heights less than 592dam will keep highs near or slightly above normal for this time of year, not a bad start to July with highs mostly under 100 degrees.
