Details
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible.
* WHERE...All of south-central and southwestern New Mexico, as well as El Paso and western Hudspeth Counties in Texas. The area of greatest concern will be near and east of the Continental Divide to the Tularosa Basin and Sacramento Mountains.
* WHEN...From Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday evening.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may be flooded. Extensive street flooding and flooding of creeks and rivers are possible.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - An early season back door cool front will interact with a late season plume of deep tropical moisture, bringing several rounds of thunderstorms with torrential downpours to the region Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday evening. Repeated thunderstorms may tend to focus in one or two areas, resulting in higher end precipitation totals. The most critical period with the heaviest rain potential will likely be Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
