Additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms with heavy rainfall will spread over the Van Horn Corridor, Guadalupe Mountains and much of southeast New Mexico again this afternoon through late tonight. Torrential downpours may quickly result in flash flooding. Other isolated to scattered storms may also produce very localized flash flooding outside of the watch area this afternoon and evening.
Flash flooding can escalate quickly. Set up multiple ways to get weather warnings. When alerted to a flash flood get to higher ground immediately. Never enter flood waters in a vehicle or on foot.
