Description
What
Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be 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
Until 10 PM MST this evening.
Impacts
Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Low-water crossings may become flooded.
Additional details
- Pacific frontal boundary will move through New Mexico this afternoon, 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
