...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING...
The Flash Flood Watch continues for
* a portion of north and central New Mexico, including the
following areas: East Slopes Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Jemez
Mountains, Northern Sangre de Cristos above 9500 feet including
Red River, San Juan Mountains, Southern Sangre de Cristos above
9500 feet and West Slopes Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
* through this evening.
* A very moist atmosphere and an unstable airmass will be ripe for
thunderstorm development over the northern mountains of New Mexico
today. Some of the rain will be locally heavy with one to two inch
rain amounts possible. Slow storm motion will increase the threat
for flash flooding. The greatest concern for flash flooding will be
on the recent wildfire burn scars.
* The Ute Park, Morris Creek, Sardinas Canyon, Cajete and Bonita
wildfire burn scars will be vulnerable to flash flooding. The
greatest concern for flash flooding exists on the Ute Park burn
scar near Cimarron where dangerous debris flows and mud slides are
possible over U.S. Highway 64 between Ute Park and Cimarron. Keep a
watchful eye on arroyos, creeks, small streams and low lying
areas, and stay out of flooded low water crossings. While main stem
river flooding is not expected, rapid rises on area rivers, creeks
and streams are possible.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead to
flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.
Monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should Flash
Flood Warnings be issued.

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE 416 FIRE BURN SCAR IN NORTHWEST LA
PLATA COUNTY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM NOON MDT TODAY
THROUGH THIS EVENING...
The Flash Flood Watch continues for
* the 416 Fire Burn Scar in Northwest La Plata County.
* From noon MDT today through this evening.
* National Weather Service Meteorologists are forecasting the
possibility of heavy rainfall over the 416 Fire burn scar,
which may lead to flash flooding and debris flows.
* The potential for heavy rainfall over the 416 Wildfire burn
scar is of particular concern due to the threat of debris
flows and flash flooding. Residents near this wildfire burn
scar and along the Highway 550 corridor near Hermosa should
prepare for potential flooding impacts. Elsewhere, be prepared
for flash flooding and debris flows on many area highways and
roads. Be sure to stay up to date with information from local
authorities.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Local emergency services personnel are monitoring the situation
and will issue a public statement as conditions warrant. Plan now
so you will know what to do in an emergency. Keep informed by
listening to local radio and television for statements and
possible warnings. Follow the advice of public safety officials
and be prepared to take action should Flash Flood Warnings be

This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of central...east
central...south central and southeast Colorado.
.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight
Moderate to heavy rainfall will be capable of producing localized
flash flooding, especially in and near the newer burn scars,
including the Spring, Chateau, Hayden Pass and Junkins burn scars
as well as urban locations that have received heavy rainfall
during the past few days. Flash flooding on area burn scars can
generate dangerous debris flows along with unstable stream banks.
In addition, strong to marginally severe thunderstorms capable of
producing hail around one inch in diameter and wind gusts around 60
mph will be possible from this afternoon and evening, favoring
portions of El Paso, Kiowa, Bent and Prowers counties.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday
On Wednesday and Thursday, isolated to scattered afternoon and
evening thunderstorms will mostly be confined to over and near the
mountains. With limited moisture, the main threats from these
storms will be gusty winds and lightning.
Starting Friday, atmospheric moisture will increase. Thunderstorms
will be capable of producing locally heavy downpours, which can
lead to flash flooding on recent burn scars. Storms are possible
over much of the region, and the best chances for storms will be
over and near the mountains.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Weather conditions that meet reporting criteria for spotters will be
possible through this evening over area burn scars and across
portions of the Eastern Plains.

Thunderstorm activity will generally be less compared to recent days
from Wednesday into the weekend. However, isolated thunderstorms may
still produce torrential downpours with localized flash flooding a
