FLOOD WATCH
Issue Date: 1157 AM MDT Tue Sep 22 2026
FLOOD WATCH NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
WHAT
Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. WHERE
Portions of central, east central, north central, northeast, northwest, southeast, and west central New Mexico, including the following areas, in central New Mexico, Central Highlands, Eastern Lincoln County, Estancia Valley, Lower Rio Grande Valley, Middle Rio Grande Valley including the Albuquerque Metro Area, San Agustin Plains and Adjacent Lowlands, Sandia and Manzano Mountains including Edgewood, South Central Highlands, South Central Mountains and Upper Tularosa Valley. In east central New Mexico, De Baca County, Guadalupe County and Quay County. In north central New Mexico, East Slopes Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Espanola Valley, Far Northwest Highlands, Glorieta Mesa Including Glorieta Pass, Jemez Mountains, Northern Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Northwest Highlands, Santa Fe Metro Area, Southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Tusas Mountains Including Chama and Upper Rio Grande Valley. In northeast New Mexico, Eastern San Miguel County, Far Northeast Highlands, Harding County, Johnson and Bartlett Mesas Including Raton Pass, Northeast Highlands and Union County. In northwest New Mexico, Chuska Mountains and Northwest Plateau. In southeast New Mexico, Chaves County Plains and Southwest Chaves County. In west central New Mexico, San Francisco River Valley, Southwest Mountains, West Central Highlands, West Central Mountains and West Central Plateau. WHEN
Through late Wednesday night. 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. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may be flooded. Storm drains and ditches may become clogged with debris. Extensive street flooding and flooding of creeks and rivers are possible. ADDITIONAL DETAILS
- A dangerous surge of monsoon moisture will arrive today and Wednesday with widespread heavy rain. Scattered occurrences of flash flooding are likely, and there will probably be some main stem river and tributary flooding later in the week, as the most likely rain amount by Wednesday afternoon exceeds 1.5 inches many locations along and east of the central mountain chain, and 1 inch in many locations westward to around Dulce, Gallup, and Glenwood. Stronger storms will produce torrential rainfall at rates over 2 inches per hour, and storms will train repeatedly in succession over some locations, with locally heavier rain amounts reaching over 4 inches over portions of southern, central, and eastern New Mexico. Heavy rain will likely continue Wednesday night over north-central and eastern New Mexico, then showers and storms with locally heavy rainfall are forecast to return to much of the state again on Thursday. - Rapid runoff and flash flooding will be most likely in complex terrain, below recent burn scars, low-lying areas, urban areas, normally dry arroyos, and near rivers and streams. As the event unfolds, locations with saturated ground will also become prone to rapid runoff and flash flooding from additional rounds of storms. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should Flash Flood Warnings be issued. &&
