Our confidence is increasing that an upper-level system will bring heavy rainfall and a risk of flash flooding to West Texas and southeastern New Mexico today through Friday afternoon.
Showers will increase in coverage overnight tonight. Greatest concern for flash flooding begins this evening through Friday morning. Repeated rounds of heavy rain may result in flash flooding of low lying and poor drainage areas, as well as along creeks, streams, and urban areas.
The greatest coverage of showers will move north of the I-10 corridor early Friday morning. Rain is expected to taper off by the early afternoon hours. Streets, highway/interstate construction zones, low-lying areas, and low water crossings may remain flooded Friday afternoon due to runoff from previous rainfall.
Many locations across West Texas and Southeast New Mexico have a good chance (>50%) of receiving >1" of rain today-Friday. Locations from the Permian Basin into the Lower Trans Pecos also have a good chance of receiving >2" of rain with this event.
