Description

What

Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible.

Where

Portions of central, east central, north central, and northeast New Mexico, including the following areas, in central New Mexico, Central Highlands, Estancia Valley, Sandia and Manzano Mountains including Edgewood, South Central Highlands and Upper Tularosa Valley. In east central New Mexico, Curry County, Guadalupe County, Quay County and Roosevelt County. In north central New Mexico, East Slopes Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Glorieta Mesa Including Glorieta Pass, Northern Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Santa Fe Metro Area and Southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains. In northeast New Mexico, Eastern San Miguel County, Far Northeast Highlands, Harding County, Johnson and Bartlett Mesas Including Raton Pass, Northeast Highlands and Union County.

When

Through late tonight.

Impacts

Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may be flooded. Storm drains and ditches may become clogged with debris. Extensive street flooding and flooding of creeks and rivers are possible.

Additional details

- Rounds of showers and storms will continue through Wednesday night. The heaviest rainfall will focus over the eastern plains where rainfall rates up to 2 inches per hour may occur. Rain will generally be lighter further west, but briefly heavy rates cannot be ruled out as far west as the central mountain chain. Rainfall totals will generally range from 0.5 to 1.5 inches, with isolated totals up to 4 inches. - Rapid runoff and flash flooding will be most likely in complex terrain, below recent burn scars, low-lying areas, urban areas, normally dry arroyos, near rivers and streams, and in locations where the ground is already saturated from recent heavy rainfall. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
