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... - Thunderstorms are expected to develop Saturday afternoon across the Sacramento Mountains, moving slowly to the southwest. Rainfall rates are expected to exceed 1 inch per hour in the strongest storms. Additionally, heavy rainfall from thunderstorms Friday afternoon have made soils even more susceptible to flash flooding. There is a moderate to high risk of flash flooding below the area burn scars. - This includes the Ruidoso area burn scars and the Seven Cabins burn scar. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
