Moist upslope flow, along with additional pulses within the flow aloft (on the periphery of a ridge to the west), led to the development of thunderstorms in central New Mexico and in/around the Davis Mountains. The storms in New Mexico grew upscale as they moved east into the northern Permian Basin and produced a few severe wind gusts.

The episode as NWS MAF wrote it up.
Moist upslope flow, along with additional pulses within the flow aloft (on the periphery of a ridge to the west), led to the development of thunderstorms in central New Mexico and in/around the Davis Mountains. The storms in New Mexico grew upscale as they moved east into the northern Permian Basin and produced a few severe wind gusts. An additional storm that developed in the Davis Mountains produced a severe downburst wind gust as well.

NWS Midland/Odessa, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 13, 4:02 PM CST, 1 hour 45 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 502 PM CDT Fri Jun 13 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 501 PM CDT Fri Jun 13 2025 - A few showers and thunderstorms (10-30% chance) will develop this afternoon and evening across portions of southeast New Mexico and west and southwest Texas. Isolated storms could become severe with large hail and damaging wind gusts. - A hot and dry weather pattern takes shape this weekend into the middle part of next week with temperatures reaching near to above 100 degrees over much of the area and no chance for rain. && .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Saturday night) Issued at 154 PM CDT Fri Jun 13 2025 Northwesterly flow aloft resides over our region to start off the short term as we transition from a trough to a ridge. The upper- level ridge progresses eastward out of northwestern Mexico on Saturday, kicking up the thermostat a few degrees. Highs in the triple digits become more widespread compared to Friday, spanning across much of the Trans Pecos, near the Rio Grande and Big Bend, and portions of the Permian Basin. As per usual, the hottest locations will be along the Rio Grande, where temperatures could range between 105 and 110. A few shortwave disturbances roll along the edge of the ridge providing lift that, when combined with moist, southeasterly surface winds, may help some showers and thunderstorms develop Saturday afternoon. Rain chances remain low (10-20%) in the vicinity of the Davis Mountains. Given sufficient shear and instability, a storm or two will have the potential to become strong to severe, with hail and severe winds being the main concerns. Temperatures both tonight and Saturday night settle into the upper 60s to low 70s. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through Thursday) Issued at 154 PM CDT Fri Jun 13 2025 The extended forecast can be characterized simply as hot and dry, though there are some subtle changes expected. An upper level ridge over northern Mexico builds north over the weekend causing temperatures to climb with many locations nearing or exceeding 100 degrees. Subsidence associated with the ridge will also eliminate any rain chances through early next week. A trough moves east across the western states and into the Rockies on Tuesday dampening out the ridge and giving us westerly mid and upper level flow. Tuesday is likely to be the hottest day since despite lower heights and weaker subsidence, westerly downsloping winds bring hotter air into the lower levels causing many locations to approach Heat Advisory criteria. Low level moist, southerly flow in the eastern Permian Basin could provide a slight moderating influence to temperatures so highs will depend on how far the dry westerly air will make it into West Texas. The ridge quickly rebuilds after the passage of the trough with the center then located over the Central Plains. This provides our area with a more moderate easterly deep layer flow that should keep temperatures more in the 90s than triple digits. The current NBM forecast is on the high side of guidance, closer to 850mb dry adiabatic extrapolation than it is to MOS. Temperatures may end up being slightly lower than forecast if higher dewpoints manage remain in the area. Hennig && .AVIATION...
