Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Tropical moisture from the remnants of Hurricane Polo will
overspread the region, which will promote heavy rain across
southeast New Mexico and far west Texas. Soils in these areas
remain saturated following heavy rains from last week, which will
further promote the risk for flash flooding.
