The episode as NWS MAF wrote it up.
An upper level trough was over the Rocky Mountains and an upper ridge was over the southeastern part of the country. A dryline was present across parts of West Texas with fairly high mid-level moisture and instability to the east of this feature. These conditions resulted in thunderstorms developing and producing severe wind gusts and wind damage.

NWS Midland/Odessa, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 14, 5:20 PM CST, 44 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 620 PM CDT Tue Jun 14 2022 ...New AVIATION... .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 618 PM CDT Tue Jun 14 2022 TS is currently affecting INK/PEQ/FST. Storms will dissipate after 02Z and no other TAF sites should be affected though TS could approach HOB. VFR conditions will otherwise continue outside of brief convection with southerly winds occasionally gusting. && .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Wednesday night) Issued at 152 PM CDT Tue Jun 14 2022 Latest IR water vapor imagery shows a fetch of mid lvl moisture extending from N Chihuahua through far W TX and into SE NM. A CU field is currently forming over the higher terrain of W TX, and with continued diurnal heating and increased instability, scattered showers and storms are expected to develop this afternoon and evening. The greatest coverage of showers and storms should be confined to the Davis and Glass Mtns and Marfa Plateau. A secondary axis of widely scattered storms may develop further N across SE NM and the Western Permian Basin near sunset as indicated by latest CAMs. Storms should remain high-based due to larger dew point depressions especially west of the Pecos River and thus gusty and erratic winds will be possible. Any lingering convection should dissipate shortly after sunset as the boundary layer stabilizes. Overnight lows will remain warm, especially across the Permian Basin due to a stout low lvl jet and ample low lvl moisture. We will continue to see decreasing hghts aloft into Wednesday, resulting in high temperatures near normal across the region, mainly in the mid to upper 90s. The mid lvl theta-e ridge will shift slightly further wwd Wednesday afternoon extending from far W TX swd to the Big Bend region where isold showers and storms will possible. Otherwise, another mild night is expected with lows falling into the low to mid 70s by Thursday morning. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through Monday) Issued at 152 PM CDT Tue Jun 14 2022 By Thur the subtropical ridge will be centered INVOF Arkansas with a mid/upper-level low tracking nwwd across the Trans Pecos on the wrn periphery of the said ridge. NAM12/GFS are more dampened wrt the referenced low than ECMWF and thus less precip. Any precip that does develop will be confined to the Trans Pecos and nearby plains. Interesting that models still show that the mid-level theta-e ridge will be oriented across the Trans Pecos Thur, but GFS reveals low Td air, probably too low. ATTP we tend to favor the "wetter" ECMWF. Models are in good agreement that on Fri the mstr will be off to the w-nw with lower sfc Td in most all locations, thus precip ending. On Sat the subtropical ridge will remain positioned well off to the ne and deeper ely flow will bring in cooler 7h temps and high temps will be closer to normal, but probably a few degrees above. A minor shrtwv trof within the ely mid-level flow may bring some afternoon SHRA to the ern half of the CWFA Sat. Beyond Sat there will be little sensible change with each afternoon 1-4 degrees above normal and generally no precip to speak of. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
