over much of northern and central New Mexico with soaking rainfall
concentrating along and east of the central mountain chain again.
Meanwhile, areas from the Rio Grande valley toward the Continental

Remember, a Flood Watch is your notification to be prepared. A Flood Watch is issued when weather ingredients are aligning for possible flooding. 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.
After a wildfire: flash floods and debris flows. Floods and debris flows happen quickly after rainfall. Prepare now! Be aware of your surroundings and stay informed by having multiple ways to receive watches and warnings. Follow any evacuation or other instructions from local officials. If you have to shelter in place, get to the highest point inside your home. Go up, not out!
Afternoon thunderstorm activity continues Thursday and Friday, but trends down in coverage and intensity. There remains a minor risk for burn scar flash flooding where locally heavy rainfall occurs over recent burn scars.
