Widespread rain amounts between 0.1-0.5 inches, with higher amounts of 1-3 inches in stronger storms, may cause flash flooding today. With some areas having very saturated soils, it will take less rainfall to create flooding impacts.
Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected over the weekend. A slight risk of excessive rainfall exists across much of western and portions of central NM today. A marginal risk of excessive rainfall exists on Sunday in these same areas.
Daily rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected through the next seven days. The strongest storms will be capable of heavy rainfall and flash flooding. Temperatures will also climb with triple digit heat expected for the Rio Grande Valley and eastern NM.
Never, never, never leave children, disabled or elderly adults, or pets in parked, unattended vehicles! Studies have shown that the temperature inside a parked vehicle can rapidly rise to dangerous levels for people and pets. Leaving the windows slightly open does not significantly decrease the heating rate. The effects can be more severe on children because their bodies have not developed the ability to efficiently regulate internal temperature.
