Description
What
Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible.
Where
A portion of southwest Texas, including the following areas, Rio Grande Valley of Eastern Hudspeth County, Salt Basin and Southern Hudspeth Highlands.
When
From noon MDT today through Wednesday evening.
Impacts
Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Low-water crossings may be flooded.
Additional details
- An early season back door cool front will interact with a late season plume of deep tropical moisture, bringing several rounds of thunderstorms with torrential downpours to the region Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday evening. Repeated thunderstorms may tend to focus in one or two areas, resulting in higher end precipitation totals. The most critical period with the heaviest rain potential will likely be Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. - The heaviest rainfall through Wednesday is expected to be focused further to the west, closer to El Paso and the Tularosa Basin. However, more widely scattered thunderstorms with torrential rainfall are possible in eastern Hudspeth County. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
