...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH 6AM WEDNESDAY...

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

* WHERE...Southwest New Mexico including Dona Ana, Otero, Luna,
  Sierra, Grant, and Hidalgo Counties. Far West Texas, including El
  Paso and Hudspeth Counties.

* WHEN...Through 6AM Wednesday.

* 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...
  - Tropical moisture will be transported northward ahead of decaying
    Tropical Cyclone Polo today, bringing widespread showers and
    thunderstorms to the region. High rainfall rates and repeated
    rounds of rain up to 4 inches may result in instances of flash
    flooding. Heavy rainfall from last week has saturated soils and
    will elevate the flood threat further into Wednesday morning.
