...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING...

* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
  possible.

* WHERE...Areas along and east of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains,
  Central Highlands and South-Central Mountains to the Texas border.

* WHEN...Through Sunday morning.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
  creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
  Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Low-water
  crossings may be flooded.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Abundant moisture combined with strong forcing from a storm
    system over AZ moving over NM tonight will produce lines of
    strong thunderstorms that will train over the same areas
    repeatedly this afternoon through Sunday morning. Widespread
    rainfall amounts totaling 2 to 4 inches in the watch area
    with locally higher amounts up to 6 inches over parts of
    northeastern NM will threaten flash flooding. This includes
    the Hermit`s Peak/Calf Canyon and Ruidoso burn scars. Large
    areas of standing water and noteworthy rises on creeks and
    rivers are possible by Sunday morning.
