Rainfall will continue today across northwest New Mexico and southwest Colorado. Rainfall on saturated soils will increase runoff into the San Juan, La Plata and Animas rivers. As a result, high flows will persist through Wednesday. Bankfull conditions are once again expected for the Animas River in Farmington and the San Juan River near Shiprock late today 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. $$ 11
