## extract

Flood Watch — Upper Gila River Valley; Southern Gila Foothills/Mimbres Valley; Central Grant County/Silver City Area; Southern Gila Region Highlands/Black Range
Severity: Severe. Certainty: Possible.
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.

* WHERE...Much of southwest New Mexico, including the Dona Ana,
Grant, Luna, Hidalgo, and Sierra Counties and the Sacramento
Mountain in south-central New Mexico.

* WHEN...Through late tonight. An extension beyond this point may be
needed.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water
crossings may be flooded.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Increasing upper level moisture and a series of upper level
disturbances will lead to rounds of thunderstorms capable of
producing torrential downpours. Most of the Gila region has
received 1 to 3 inches of rain in recent days, therefore any
additional heavy rain could lead to flash flooding.
