Numerous to widespread showers and storms will develop over portions of west Texas and much of southeast New Mexico late this afternoon through tonight. Deep tropical moisture associated with the remnants of Hurricane Polo will bring the potential for very heavy rainfall and flash flooding over these locations through tonight. The focus for heavy rainfall and flash flooding will shift into the eastern Permian Basin and Lower Trans Pecos region Wednesday evening. Rainfall amounts of 1-2 inches with localized higher amounts of 3-4 inches will be possible.
Another round of storms are expected today, though it will be for the eastern half of the region. The primary threats with the strongest storms remain heavy rainfall leading to flash flooding, damaging winds, and a brief spin-up tornado is possible. Ensure you have multiple ways to receive warnings!
