* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - An early season back door cool front will interact with a late
    season plume of deep tropical moisture, bringing several rounds
    of thunderstorms with torrential downpours to the region Tuesday
    afternoon through Wednesday evening. Repeated thunderstorms may
    tend to focus in one or two areas, resulting in higher end

    rain potential will likely be Tuesday night into Wednesday
    morning.
  - The heaviest rainfall through Wednesday is expected to be focused
    further to the west, closer to El Paso and the Tularosa Basin.
