...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 PM MDT THIS

AFTERNOON FOR WEST CENTRAL CHAVES COUNTY...



At 231 PM MDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms produced heavy

rain across the warned area. Between 1.5 and 2 inches of rain have

fallen. Flash flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly.



HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms.



SOURCE...Radar indicated.



IMPACT...Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas,

         highways, streets and underpasses as well as other poor

         drainage and low-lying areas.



Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...

  Mainly rural areas of West Central Chaves County.



The heaviest rains have occurred near the Chaves, Lincoln, and Otero

County lines, with flash flooding expected first within the Whitetail

and Lincoln Canyons.



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood

deaths occur in vehicles.



Arroyos, streams, and normally dry rivers can become raging killer

currents in a matter of minutes. Water in arroyos can travel many

miles and take hours to reach your location from upstream rain areas.



Both localized and distant heavy rainfall will create sudden and

dangerous flows in arroyos and over low water crossings.
