* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.

* WHERE...Portions of west central and northwest New Mexico as well
as the South Central Mountains and Eastern Lincoln County. This
includes the Ruidoso area burn scars.

* WHEN...From noon MDT today through this evening.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Soils are very saturated from days of soaking rainfall and flash
flooding. Rainfall rates of 1 to 1.5 inches per hour may occur
with storms this afternoon and evening. Wildfire burn scars,
urban areas, communities with underdeveloped infrastructure,
complex terrain, and areas where the ground is already saturated
are most at risk for rapid runoff and flash flooding. Storms
across western New Mexico will end during the evening, but storms
could persist as late as Midnight in the Lincoln County portion
of the Watch.
