2026-07-19T18:00:00-06:00

* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...A portion of central New Mexico, including the following area, South Central Mountains. * WHEN...From noon MDT today through this afternoon. * 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. Storm drains and ditches may become clogged with debris. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Numerous thunderstorms will develop over the south-central mountains Sunday afternoon, then move slowly to the southwest and west. Rain rates over 1 inch per hour in a few of the stronger storms will lead to rapid runoff, especially where the ground is saturated from heavy rain and flash flooding on previous days. There is a moderate risk of flash flooding below recent burn scars. - This includes the Ruidoso area burn scars and the Seven Cabins burn scar. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
