The episode as NWS MAF wrote it up.
Continued lee troughing ahead of a large shortwave trough across the southwestern U.S. and a leading shortwave trough helped develop afternoon thunderstorms. These thunderstorms were largely sub-severe but one thunderstorm produced severe winds in rural Culberson County.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 553 PM CDT Tue Jun 6 2023 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Wednesday night) Issued at 240 PM CDT Tue Jun 6 2023 Isolated showers and thunderstorms will develop over the Davis and Guadalupe mountains this afternoon and the first signs of convection are already being seen in the Davis Mountains on satellite and radar. The bigger concern will be a shortwave trough moving into far West Texas later this evening and overnight that will send a more organized area of storms across El Paso and into the far western counties of our CWA. There will be some chance for the storms to be severe but the overall threat will be low given the sparse population and increasing stability due to the loss of daytime heating. Rain chances diminish toward early morning before a second round develops again Wednesday. Storms will again initiate in the higher elevations west of the Pecos River, but an upper ridge axis currently over West Texas will shift east allowing the storms to propagate further east into the Permian Basin and lower Trans Pecos. Shear and instability are enough to support an isolated severe risk with large hail and strong winds the primary threats. In addition to a broader storm threat tomorrow, westerly flow increases from the eastward shift of the upper ridge advecting in warmer temperatures from southern New Mexico and northern Mexico. Highs will increase several degrees from today and begin a warming trend that is expected to last into next week. Hennig && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through Monday) Issued at 240 PM CDT Tue Jun 6 2023 The long term forecast is, appropriately, jejune as upper-level ridging begins building into West Texas and Southeast New Mexico Thursday into the extended. While the synoptic pattern does not indicate this to be the industrialized summertime ridge that should be materializing any week now in the long-range models, it does signify a drier, warmer spell for the area. Upper troughs are still set to develop and persist over the SoCal/Baja region, suggesting one or maybe two more convective events, the immediate long term looks relatively dry. The only chance looks to be Friday evening, when a shortwave moving through the ridge may kick off convection just east of the CWA, and a thunderstorm or two could sneak into the Western Low Rolling Plains. Otherwise, grids stay dry. As would be expected, temperatures/thicknesses will be on the increase through the extended as the ridge strengthens and soils dry out. By Friday afternoon, temperatures will climb to just above normal, increasing through the weekend, to widespread triple digits by Tuesday afternoon. Should the forecast temperatures Tuesday afternoon materialize, Heat Advisories may be need for the Davis/Chinati Mountains and adjacent areas. Fortunately, apparent temperatures look to be lower than actual. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 550 PM CDT Tue Jun 6 2023 Isolated showers and storms continue along and west of a line from the Guadalupe Mountains to the Davis Mountains which shouldn't directly impact the TAF sites. Storms may approach CNM near 06Z but not confident to put in the TAF right now. VFR conditions will continue with generally light and occasionally gusty southeast winds. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
