...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TUESDAY NIGHT...
...POTENTIAL FOR LIFE THREATENING FLASH FLOODING...

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

* WHERE...All of northern and central New Mexico.

* WHEN...Through late Tuesday night.

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

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - A near-record to record surge of moisture combined with two
    merging storm systems will bring a prolonged multi-day period of
    showers and thunderstorms producing moderate to heavy rainfall.
    Combined with already rain-soaked soil, there is a moderate to
    high risk of flash flooding.
  - Low-lying, poorly drained areas, urban areas and arroyo systems
    will be most susceptible. Rivers and streams will see rises,
    potentially reaching flood stage. Recent burn scars may see flash
    flooding, including the Ruidoso area burn scars, Frijoles,
    Sacaton, Hummingbird, and Whiskey burn scars.

Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.
