...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TUESDAY NIGHT...
...POTENTIAL FOR LIFE THREATENING FLASH FLOODING...

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

* WHERE...Areas along and west of the central mountain chain
  including the west slopes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the
  Sandia/Manzano Mountains, and the south-central mountains, as well
  as the Rio Grande Valley westward to the Arizona border. Some metro
  areas and locales include, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Espanola, Taos,
  Socorro, Ruidoso, Los Alamos, Grants, Gallup, and Farmington.

* WHEN...Through late Tuesday night.

* 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...
  - A near-record to record surge of moisture combined with two
    merging storm systems will bring a prolonged multi-day period of
    showers and thunderstorms producing moderate to heavy rainfall.
    Combined with already rain-soaked soil, there is a moderate to
    high risk of flash flooding.
  - Low-lying, poorly drained areas, urban areas and arroyo systems
    will be most susceptible. Rivers and streams will see rises,
    potentially reaching flood stage. Recent burn scars may see flash
    flooding, including the Ruidoso area burn scars, Frijoles,
    Sacaton, Hummingbird, and Whiskey burn scars.
