...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 1PM TO 8PM MDT TODAY FOR
WESTERN NM AS WELL AS THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AND THE SANDIA
AND MANZANO MOUNTAINS DUE TO STRONG WINDS, VERY LOW HUMIDITY AND
AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE...
.Critical fire weather conditions are expected this afternoon
across western and portions of central New Mexico. Strong west to
southwest winds will increase in advance of an approaching
disturbance and surface winds may gust near 50 mph during the

single digits this afternoon. In addition, the atmosphere is
forecast to be unstable with excellent mixing. Strong winds and
low relative humidity values are also expected across eastern New
Mexico, however recent rainfall and ongoing greenup will mitigate
the critical fire weather concerns.

Hydrologic Outlook
National Weather Service Pueblo CO
507 AM MDT Thu May 16 2024
...SPECIAL HYDROLOGIC STATEMENT...
This statement is primarily for areas below Turquoise Lake along
Lake Fork Creek, downstream to the Arkansas River confluence within
Lake County.
This statement is valid from May 15 to June 30, 2024.
The potential for elevated river levels and inundation of low-lying
areas, due to increased releases from Sugar Loaf Dam, is higher than
normal for areas along Lake Fork Creek in Lake County.
...OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT 45 DAYS...
In order to make room for anticipated inflows to Turquoise Lake from
snowmelt runoff, and to prevent an uncontrolled spill from Sugar
Loaf Dam, The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation will increase reservoir
releases to 450 cfs beginning Wednesday May 15 and continuing
through June 30, 2024.
This release is expected to continue to inundate and cause damage to
County Road 5 in Lake County.
Local authorities and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation have been
actively notifying those downstream of Sugar Loaf Dam of these
anticipated impacts that could last through late June, and
mitigation measures to help fortify County Road 5 and other areas
are currently being made.
At this time, no additional flooding or impacts are expected further
downstream along Lake Fork Creek, or beyond its confluence with the
Arkansas River. Please continue to heed all road closures and
additional orders from local law enforcement and emergency
management.
...ADDITIONAL INFORMATION...
For the latest information on reservoir conditions and releases from
Sugar Loaf Dam at Turquoise Lake, please contact Anna Perea, Public
Affairs Specialist with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, at
aperea@usbr.gov

County, visit our web site at weather.gov/pub
