BULLETIN - EAS ACTIVATION REQUESTED
Flash Flood Warning
National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
817 PM MDT Sun Sep 28 2025

The National Weather Service in Albuquerque has issued a

* Flash Flood Warning for...
  Bernalillo County in central New Mexico...

* Until 1015 PM MDT.

* At 817 PM MDT, Doppler radar and automated rain gauges indicated
  thunderstorms producing heavy rain across the warned area. Flash
  flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly.

  HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms.

  SOURCE...Radar and automated gauges.

  IMPACT...Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban
           areas, highways, streets and underpasses as well as
           other poor drainage and low-lying areas.

* Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Southeastern Albuquerque, South Valley and Carnuel.

This includes the following highways...
Interstate 40 between Mile Markers 167 and 171.
Interstate 25 between Mile Markers 214 and 221.

This heavy rain will compound runoff thru the Tijeras Arroyo from
earlier this afternoon. A 10 foot spike was observed at Tijeras
Arroyo at Coyote Springs Rd. This will create a dangerous flow of
water within the Tijeras Arroyo. Get out of arroyos now!

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around, don`t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.

Arroyos, streams, and normally dry rivers can become raging killer
currents in a matter of minutes. Water in arroyos can travel many
miles and take hours to reach your location from upstream rain areas.
