Wetter-Warnungen, Kiowa View V

Flood Watch issued June 21 at 4:14AM MDT until June 22 at 6:00AM MDT by NWS Albuquerque NM Thunderstorm coverage and rainfall intensity will continue to decrease through the pre-dawn hours, so the Flood Watch that was in effect until 6 AM MDT this morning for portions of west central and northwest New Mexico, as well as parts of the central mountain chain, has been cancelled. A disturbance passing to the north of New Mexico will draw even richer subtropical moisture northward over New Mexico this afternoon and tonight, so another Flood Watch for flash flooding is now being issued for west central and northwest areas for this afternoon through tonight, and for recent burn scars along the central mountain chain for this afternoon and evening. * WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...Portions of north central and west central New Mexico, including the following areas, in north central New Mexico, Espanola Valley and Tusas Mountains Including Chama. In west central New Mexico, West Central Highlands. * WHEN...From noon MDT today through late tonight. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Numerous showers and thunderstorms will develop this afternoon and evening. Some storms will produce torrential rainfall at rates over one inch per half hour. Rapid runoff will quickly produce flash flooding, especially below recent burn scars and in locations where the ground is already saturated from recent heavy rainfall. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
