Hydrologic Outlook
National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
418 PM MDT Tue Oct 14 2025

Earlier rainfall across northwest New Mexico and southwest Colorado
will continue to create excessive runoff this evening into the San
Juan, La Plata and Animas rivers. As a result, high flows will
persist through Wednesday with a significant crest forecast late
this evening through the early morning hours Wednesday.

Bankfull conditions are once again expected for the Animas River in
Farmington and the San Juan River near Shiprock late this evening
into early Wednesday.

For your safety, stay away from the banks of these rivers. Erosion
will make the banks unstable and this fast running water could
easily sweep away those distracted near the bank of the river. Avoid
any recreational activities on these rivers through at least
Wednesday.

Expect rises and impacts to nearby roads and low water crossings. Do
not drive through water of unknown depth. The road may not be intact
below. Stay aware of any flash flood or river flood warnings that are
issued.
