What the National Weather Service wrote

Heavy rain fell across Reeves County and resulted in flash flooding near Balmorhea. There was a high water rescue. A person in a pickup drove through a low water crossing south of Balmorhea Lake. The pickup and driver were washed 1000 feet downstream. The cost of damage is a very rough estimate.

The wider storm

A cold front had pushed into West Texas. Modest wind shear was across far West Texas. The Davis Mountains provided a good source of elevated heating and lift. Fairly high moisture and instability were across the area. These conditions resulted in heavy rain that produced flash flooding in Reeves County.

Began near Balmorhea (30.9540, -103.7186).
