BULLETIN - EAS ACTIVATION REQUESTED
Flash Flood Warning
National Weather Service El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa NM
1019 PM MDT Tue Jul 22 2025

The National Weather Service in El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa has extended
the

* Flash Flood Warning for...
  Northwestern Otero County in south central New Mexico...

* Until 300 AM MDT.

* At 1019 PM MDT, Heavy rain has subsided across most of the warning
  area, but runoff continues, and additional rain has fallen
  upstream over Nogal Canyon.

  HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms.

  SOURCE...Radar.

  IMPACT...Flash flooding of small creeks and streams. The gauge
           on Tularosa Creek near the west end of Gato Mountain
           Road rose by about 4.5 feet between 9 and 9:30 PM,
           reaching 6.5 feet, or 1100 cfs. Record flows are over
           4000 cfs. Still, high flows are expected to flow
           downstream towards Tularosa, likely making low water
           crossings too dangerous to cross late into the night.
           Also, heavy rainfall over Nogal Canyon will work  into
           Tularosa Creek, also supporting increased flows.

* Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Tularosa, Lower Nogal Canyon and Bent.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.

Be aware of your surroundings and do not drive on flooded roads.
