.Thunderstorm coverage and rainfall intensity will continue to
decrease through the pre-dawn hours, so the Flood Watch that was in
effect until 6 AM MDT this morning for portions of west central and
northwest New Mexico, as well as parts of the central mountain
chain, has been cancelled. A disturbance passing to the north of
New Mexico will draw even richer subtropical moisture northward over
New Mexico this afternoon and tonight, so another Flood Watch for
flash flooding is now being issued for west central and northwest
areas for this afternoon through tonight, and for recent burn scars
along the central mountain chain for this afternoon and evening.
