...HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR FOR
SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL NEW MEXICO AND FAR WEST TEXAS...
.A COMPLEX UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL REMAIN OVER THE
SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES WHILE MOIST UNSTABLE AIR FLOWS INTO
THE REGION. THIS WEATHER PATTERN WILL PRODUCE SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. STORMS THAT DEVELOP TODAY
AND TONIGHT WILL MOVE SLOWLY AND PRODUCE HEAVY RAIN. BECAUSE OF
RECENT HEAVY RAINS AND SATURATED SOILS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO
AND FAR WEST TEXAS...THERE IS AN ELEVATED RISK OF FLASH FLOODING
ALONG ARROYOS...STREAMS...DRAINAGES...IN LOW LYING AREAS AND
ROADWAYS...AND EVEN SOME BUILDINGS IN FLOOD PRONE AREAS.

DESERT/BOOTHEEL...SOUTHWEST DESERT/MIMBRES BASIN...SOUTHWEST
MOUNTAINS/LOWER GILA REGION AND TULAROSA BASIN/SOUTHERN
DESERT. IN SOUTHWEST TEXAS...EL PASO AND HUDSPETH.
* THROUGH THIS EVENING
* AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL SLOWLY MOVE ACROSS THE REGION
WHILE MOIST UNSTABLE AIR FLOWS INTO THE AREA. ABUNDANT MOISTURE
AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS WILL LEAD TO SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
STORMS. HEAVY RAIN AND SLOW STORM MOTION COMBINED WITH NEARLY
SATURATED SOIL CONDITIONS WILL ELEVATE THE FLASH FLOOD
POTENTIAL. RAINFALL AMOUNTS COULD EXCEED TWO INCHES PER HOUR
FROM SOME STORMS DURING THIS PERIOD WITH AS MUCH AS THREE
INCHES POSSIBLE OVER ISOLATED LOCATIONS.
* POTENTIAL FLASH FLOOD IMPACTS INCLUDE FLOODING IN AND NEAR
NORMALLY DRY ARROYOS AND DRAINAGES...STREAMS AND LOW LYING
AREAS. HIGHWAYS...CITY STREETS...AND COUNTY ROADS MAY BECOME
IMPASSABLE...LOW WATER CROSSING WILL BE MOST EFFECTED.
HYDROLOGIC CONCERNS MAY ALSO INCREASE ALONG THE RIO GRANDE AS
HEAVY RUNOFF CAUSES THE RIVER TO RISE DOWNSTREAM.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD
TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.
YOU SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION
