Repeated thunderstorms will result in scattered to numerous instances of flash flooding with some considerable cases. Wednesday morning is the most likely time to see excessive rainfall. Rainfall amounts around 2 inches are likely with isolated amounts of 4 inches or more. - Central Dona Ana County through southeastern Sierra County are most likely to see the heaviest rainfall through Wednesday morning. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
