Flood Watch issued June 24 at 2:05PM MDT until June 26 at 12:00AM MDT by NWS Albuquerque NM

* WHAT…Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall.

* WHERE…A portion of south central New Mexico, including Ruidoso
and the burn scars surrounding the village.

* WHEN…Through Wednesday evening.

* 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 and village streets may be flooded. Storm drains and
ditches may become clogged with debris.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…
– Multiple rounds of heavy rainfall on top of saturated soils
from Monday’s rainfall may result in catastrophic and life-
threatening flash flooding as a rich monsoon plume remains
over the area. Rainfall rates of up to 3 inches per hour are
possible at times. Though chances for flooding and heavy
rainfall are generally higher in the afternoon, precipitation
will occur on and off during the rest of the daytime and
nighttime hours. Areas within and downstream of the Blue 2,
McBride, South Fork and Salt burn scars will be especially
susceptible to flooding and debris flows.
