...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT...
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.
* WHERE...Western and south central New Mexico, including Farmington,
Shiprock, Aztec, Bloomfield, Gallup, Zuni Pueblo, Grants, Quemado,
Pietown, Magdalena, Datil, and Glenwood.
* WHEN...Through late tonight.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of creeks,
streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Deep monsoon moisture will continue to move into western and
central New Mexico, helping numerous showers and thunderstorms to
develop. Stronger storms will be capable of producing heavy
rainfall rates of one to two inches per hour with some areas
receiving multiple rounds of storms. This will be too fast and
heavy for the ground to adequately absorb, leading to excessive
runoff and flash flooding.
Recent wildfire burn scars within Catron and Lincoln Counties
will be especially vulnerable to flash flooding.
