New Mexico, Chaves County Plains and Southwest Chaves County.

* WHEN...Through late tonight.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Rounds of showers and storms will continue through tonight.
Rainfall rates up to 2 inches per hour will have the potential to
produce rapid runoff, especially during the afternoon and evening
hours on Thursday. Soils are becoming increasingly saturated from
persistent rainfall over the past couple of days, further
elevating the risk of flash flooding. Rainfall amounts will
generally range from 1 to 2 inches, with isolated totals up to 3
inches.
- Rapid runoff and flash flooding will be most likely in complex
terrain, below recent burn scars, low-lying areas, urban areas,
normally dry arroyos, near rivers and streams, and in locations
where the ground is already saturated from recent heavy rainfall.
