Stronger storms will be capable of producing heavy rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour with some areas receiving multiple rounds of storms. This will be too fast and heavy for the ground to adequately absorb, leading to excessive runoff and flash flooding. Recent wildfire burn scars within Lincoln county will be especially vulnerable to flash flooding. - http://www.weather.gov/abq/EmergencyPrepFlood PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
