A stationary boundary (and associated surface convergence), coupled with upslope flow, led to the development of severe thunderstorms during the afternoon of June 10th as a shortwave approached Southeast New Mexico and West Texas. Initial isolated to scattered storms tended to produce large hail and damaging winds.

The episode as NWS MAF wrote it up.
A stationary boundary (and associated surface convergence), coupled with upslope flow, led to the development of severe thunderstorms during the afternoon of June 10th as a shortwave approached Southeast New Mexico and West Texas. Initial isolated to scattered storms tended to produce large hail and damaging winds. Upscale growth occurred during the evening/overnight hours, and the primary threat shifted to damaging winds (similar to what happened during the evening of June 9th).

NWS Midland/Odessa, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 10, 11:46 AM CST, 10 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 1246 PM CDT Tue Jun 10 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1238 PM CDT Tue Jun 10 2025 - A complex of storms is moving through the Permian Basin and Western Low Rolling Plains this morning. Some of the storms are severe, producing large hail. In addition, locally heavy rainfall could result in localized flash flooding. - Thunderstorm chances continue through Wednesday, along with the threat of severe activity and locally heavy rainfall. && .SHORT TERM... (Today through Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 203 AM CDT Tue Jun 10 2025 Area radars show a very busy night across West Texas and Southeast New Mexico, as a MCS rolls through the area. Interestingly, wind reports have been rather sparse since this event began, when LCLs were quite high. However, there's been no lack of large hail reports. This activity will continue overnight. WV imagery shows a trough riding the US/Mexico border, and this feature is forecast to arrive late this afternoon/evening. With multiple residual boundaries from previous convection knocking about, rain chances will remain high through at least late Wednesday afternoon, when the trough clears the area. Unfortunately, deep-layer shear will persist, as well as steep mid-level lapse rates, so the severe threat will, as well. For those who like cooler temperatures, highs will remain below normal over the lowlands, and not much above normal elsewhere. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday night through Monday) Issued at 203 AM CDT Tue Jun 10 2025 Thursday, as the upper trough exits the region, thicknesses/temperatures begin increasing as upper ridging fills in behind it. Indeed, this looks like the first bona fide attempt of the summertime ridge to establish itself and, if we're honest, it's climatologically overdue. This means an end to rain chances by the weekend, and above-normal temperatures everywhere by Sunday afternoon. However, the LREF and long-range models suggest at least one more trough may beat this monstrosity down before it's here to stay the rest of the summer. Stay tuned... && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1238 PM CDT Tue Jun 10 2025 Scattered storms are beginning to develop over the northern Permian Basin and across the southwest mountains as of 18Z. We expect showers and thunderstorms to increase in coverage and spread eastward across southeast New Mexico and the Trans Pecos region this afternoon. Some storms could become severe with erratic gusts, hail, and heavy rainfall. There could be brief reductions in ceilings to MVFR with visibility lower than MVFR times in stronger storms that develop. We included PROB30 at all terminals late this afternoon and evening between 21-03Z. Surface winds will be variable in direction this afternoon and evening. MVFR ceilings could develop over the Permian Basin Wednesday morning, which could impact KMAF, but confidence was low enough to keep mention out of the TAF there for now. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
