Description

What

Flooding caused by excessive rainfall possible.

Where

In Southwest New Mexico, Grant County, northern Hidalgo County, and western Sierra County. This includes Silver City, Lordsburg, Gila, and other surrounding communities. This includes the Gila and upper Mimbres watersheds.

When

From noon Sunday through late Sunday 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

- Pacific frontal boundary will move through New Mexico on Sunday, bringing widespread showers and thunderstorms to much of western New Mexico. Storms will be capable of heavy rain and training, which will lead to localized flash flooding. High soil saturation due to recent rains will cause runoff to occur more quickly. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
