NWS News:

While any rain is usually welcomed in New Mexico, the National Weather Service is forecasting extreme rainfall rates across northeast New Mexico later this afternoon and evening that will likely lead to flash flooding.

Anomalously high atmospheric moisture content will interact with an oulow boundary moving southeast out of Colorado later today and yield storms producing torrenal rainfall across northeast New Mexico. These storms will persist into the evening hours and may extend south to the Interstate 40 corridor overnight into Monday morning.

Flash flooding possible of creeks, arroyos and other low lying areas impacting low water crossings and other flood prone areas. Road closures also will be possible.

Rainfall amounts between 1-2 inches will be common across northeast New Mexico, with locally higher amounts to between 4 and 5 inches.
