Stay tuned to trusted news sources and be ready to seek higher ground. A Flood Warning is your notification to take action! A Flood Warning is issued when flooding is happening or about to happen. Move to higher ground immediately! Never drive or walk through flood waters.
There is a greater risk of flash flooding from slow-moving thunderstorms today over the Seven Cabins and Ruidoso area burn scars. A Flood Watch has been issued from 12pm - 6pm today.
Scattered afternoon thunderstorms will again favor the central mountain chain before moving southward over surrounding lower elevations Saturday. Drier and hotter weather arrives Sunday.
Drier and hotter weather arrives Sunday into next week. A moderate risk of heat induced illnesses results from highs in the 90s to low 100s for lower elevation areas.
Temperatures will rise over the next week with minor to moderate heat- related impacts likely. Moderate heat risk affects those who are sensitive to heat, especially those without cooling/hydration, and some health systems and industries.
