EVENING FOR CENTRAL GRANT COUNTY...

At 502 PM MDT, Thunderstorms have moved out of the warning area, but
runoff will continue for some time. Between 1 and 1.5 inches of rain
have fallen around Fort Bayard east to near Hanover. This will
likely cause flooding in Cameron Creek, as well as Yellow Dog Gulch
and Whitewater Creek. Low water crossings, particularly along
Cameron Creek, will likely be too dangerous to cross.

HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms.

SOURCE...Radar.

IMPACT...Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, low water
         crossings, roads, as well as other poor drainage and
         low-lying areas.

Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Cobre, Bayard, Hanover, Fierro, Santa Clara and Fort Bayard.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around, don`t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.

Remain alert for flooding even in locations not receiving rain.
Arroyos, streams, and rivers can become raging killer currents in a
matter of minutes, even from distant rainfall.
