1107 AM MDT Tue Sep 15 2026
...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.
* WHERE...Portions of central and west central New Mexico, including
the following areas, in central New Mexico, San Agustin Plains and
Adjacent Lowlands. In west central New Mexico, San Francisco River
Valley and Southwest Mountains.
* WHEN...From Wednesday afternoon through late Wednesday night.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Much of the area received a soaking rainfall of one half inch to
two inches Monday and Monday night, saturating soils and
increasing flows through area creeks and streams. Heavy rainfall
rates of one to two inches per hour this afternoon and evening
over saturated soils may result in flash flooding, including on
and downstream of the Sacaton/Hummingbird burn scar.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.

...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING...
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.
* WHERE...Portions of central and west central New Mexico, including
the following areas, in central New Mexico, San Agustin Plains and
Adjacent Lowlands. In west central New Mexico, San Francisco River
Valley and Southwest Mountains.
* WHEN...Through this evening.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Area creeks and streams are running high and could flood with more
heavy rain.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Deep monsoon moisture will continue to move into western and
central New Mexico, helping numerous showers and thunderstorms to
develop. Stronger storms will be capable of producing heavy
rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour with some areas
receiving multiple rounds of storms. This will be too fast and
heavy for the ground to adequately absorb, leading to excessive
runoff and flash flooding.
Recent wildfire burn scars such as the Sacaton and Hummingbird in
Catron county will be especially vulnerable to flash flooding.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
Turn around, don`t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood

disturbances will lead to rounds of thunderstorms capable of
producing torrential downpours. Most of the Gila region has
received 1 to 3 inches of rain in recent days, therefore any
additional heavy rain could lead to flash flooding. Thunderstorms
may be slow to initiate in the higher terrain this afternoon, but
will become more numerous during the evening and late night
hours. Another round or two of storms is expected for Wednesday,
therefore the Flood Watch has been extended into early Thursday
morning.
