Impacts

Additional details
- A late season plume of deep tropical moisture is transported northward ahead of an upper-level disturbance, bringing several rounds of thunderstorms with high rainfall rates to the region through this evening. Repeated thunderstorms will result in scattered to numerous instances of flash flooding with some considerable cases. This 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
