Description
What
Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible.
Where
Portions of south central and southwest New Mexico, including Sierra, Dona Ana, Luna, and eastern Grant Counties and the Sacramento Mountains in northern Otero County.
When
Through late tonight.
Impacts
Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, arroyos, low water crossings, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Additional details
- 24-hour rainfall observations shows a wide swath of 1-2" across much of south-central New Mexico. High soil moisture will allow runoff to occur quickly with any additional rounds of rain. Thunderstorms are expected to track north across the Watch area Thursday night into Friday morning, leading to localized flash flooding. Additionally, risk of flooding continues for the Sacramento Mountains, where storms initiating along a N/S oriented ridge and parallel storm motions may lead to training storms and prolonged heavy rain Thursday afternoon. - This includes portions of the I-25 corridor through Hatch and Truth-or-Consequences and the I-10 corridor through Las Cruces and Deming. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
