...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE THURSDAY NIGHT...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.

* WHERE...Portions of western, central, and north-central New Mexico,
mainly along and west of the Continental Divide.

* WHEN...Through late Thursday night.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water
crossings may be flooded.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- A potent Pacific storm system will draw up anomalously high
moisture into the Desert Southwest, generating repeated rounds of
widespread showers and thunderstorms. Fast moving thunderstorms
producing locally heavy rainfall will have the ability to pass
over the same areas repeatedly, threatening flash flooding.
Rainfall amounts through late Thursday night will generally range
from 0.75 inch to 1.5 inch in most areas, with locally higher
totals up to 3 inches.
- This includes Farmington, Gallup, Zuni Pueblo, and portions of
Navajo Nation.
