A Flash Flood Watch goes into effect Saturday afternoon through early Sunday morning. Showers/storms look to be quite scattered, bit the potential for occasionally heavy rainfall has elevated flood concerns.
A level 2/4 risk of excessive rainfall is forecast Saturday for much of Southeast New Mexico and West Texas. Additional rainfall is expected through the weekend into next week. As a result, flash flooding concerns will increase into next week. Some of this flooding may occur after dark, so be especially careful if driving and avoid flooded roads!
Rain chances increase today in the higher terrain. By tomorrow evening/overnight, rain chances increase across the area (50-80% generally). This wet pattern is expected to persist into next week. Given the potential for heavy rainfall over multiple days, flash flooding will be the main concern. Damaging winds and some hail will also be possible.
