125 FNUS75 KABQ 210335 FWSABQ Spot Forecast for 2024 Spring Flooding...SMC CLV OEM National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 935 PM MDT Thu Jun 20 2024 If conditions become unrepresentative, contact the National Weather Service. .DISCUSSION... Isolated to scattered showers this evening are expected to turn a bit more numerous and periodic into the late overnight hours. While overnight rainfall is generally expected to amount to a few tenths of an inch, many drainages on and surrounding the Hermits Peak- Calf Canyon wildfire burn area are likely saturated and primed for quick runoff to occur. This will be more concerning going into the daytime Friday when more unstable conditions are expected to lead to more numerous thunderstorms with higher rainfall rates. Additional flash flooding will be possible, primarily during the afternoon through early Friday evening. Not as many storms are forecast for the weekend, but storms will tend to move slower by then which will keep a threat for locally heavy rainfall. .REST OF TONIGHT...
