Flood Watch

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible.

* WHERE...Portions of western, central, and north-central New Mexico, mainly along and west of the Continental Divide.

* WHEN...Through late tonight.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may be flooded.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - A potent Pacific storm system will continue to draw deep moisture over western New Mexico generating widespread showers and thunderstorms. Some of the fast moving thunderstorms will produce locally heavy rain at rates over 1 inch per hour, and storms will train in succession over some locations repeatedly increasing the risk of flash flooding. Additional rain amounts for the remainder of tonight through late Thursday night will generally range from 0.25 inch to 1 inch, with locally higher totals up to 3 inches. - This includes Farmington, Gallup, Zuni Pueblo, and portions of Navajo Nation. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
