northwestern Rio Arriba County in north central New Mexico
northern San Juan County in northwest New Mexico

* until 630 PM MDT

* at 425 PM MDT... National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated
heavy rainfall across northern San Juan and northwest Rio Arriba
counties. Most of the heavier precipitation remains over southern
Colorado... but this activity will slide into northern New Mexico.
Heavy rainfall will impact La Plata... Cedar Hill and areas north
of Navajo Dam. High water flows can be expected in Barker Arroyo...
kiffen canyon... Ditch Canyon... Rattlesnake Canyon and Cottonwood
Canyon. Persons camping or hiking in the area should be alert to
high water flows in arroyos and creeks.

* Strong flows and high water levels are expected in arroyos... small
streams and over low water crossings.

Both localized and distant heavy rainfall will create dangerous flows
in arroyos and over low water crossings. Do not attempt to drive
through these waters. Water in arroyos may travel many miles and take
hours to reach your location from upstream rain areas.

* Arroyo and small stream flood advisory for...
southwestern Catron County in west central New Mexico

... Potential for a significant increase in rain coverage over the
weekend...

The center of Dolly... only a depression as of late this
afternoon... was located roughly 175 miles southeast of The Big
Bend area and was heading to the west northwest. There is of
course a lot of moisture with this system and... while the system
will continue to weaken... it is looking increasingly likely that
some of that moisture will track into some portion of New Mexico
over the weekend. Computer model tracks are still changing
somewhat... but as of this writing there is a pretty good chance
that the remnants of this system will bring an increase in clouds
and showers... along with a few thunderstorms... to western and
central New Mexico starting Saturday and into at least Sunday.
Eastern New Mexico has a lower but not insignificant chance of
increasing shower and storm activity as well. The increase in
cloud cover may lower somewhat the chance of thunderstorms in the
densest portion of the cloud shield... but rain coverage will
likely be greater than what has occurred the last 2 or 3 days.
While there is still significant uncertainty as to the exact track
of the heaviest rain potential for this system... the best estimate
at this time is for the southwest then west central mountains
region to be affected first... followed by the central... northwest
plateau and north central mountains region.
