A Severe Flash Flood Warning is in effect for Jeff Davis County, Texas, until 7:30 PM CDT on June 12, 2026, as issued by the National Weather Service in Midland/Odessa.
The warning covers west central Jeff Davis County, including areas such as Plateau Valentine Road. Between 0.5 and 1.5 inches of rain have already fallen, and flash flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly.
A Flash Flood Warning indicates that flooding is imminent or occurring, and that individuals in the affected areas should be prepared for rapidly rising water levels. Small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets, and underpasses, as well as other poor drainage and low-lying areas, may experience flash flooding.
In case of an emergency, dial 911. Follow the guidance of the National Weather Service (NWS) and local authorities. To stay safe, turn around and do not drown when encountering flooded roads, as most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Be aware of your surroundings and do not drive on flooded roads. In hilly terrain, there are hundreds of low water crossings which are potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded roads; instead, find an alternate route.
