Flood Watch This Week
Heavy Rainfall and a Few Severe Storms Today
More Rain Chances This Week
Tropical moisture will overspread the region during the early to middle part of the week, promoting very heavy rainfall for portions of the area. Soils remain saturated across SE New Mexico and in Culberson County from last week's rains/flash flooding. As a result, a Flood Watch has been issued for these locations from Monday evening through early Wednesday morning.

The primary threats with the strongest storms will be heavy rainfall leading to flash flooding, damaging winds, and a brief spin-up tornado or two. The tornado threat will be mainly confined across locations in the dashed yellow circle this afternoon through the late evening. Ensure you have multiple ways to receive warnings!

Shower/storm chances will increase across the region as it nears, especially for SE New Mexico and the Permian Basin. This system will bring tropical moisture to west Texas and southeast New Mexico. As a result, atmospheric moisture will be nearing record levels, and flash flooding will be our primary concern.
