* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Rounds of showers and storms will continue through tonight. The
heaviest rainfall will focus over the northeast plains where
rainfall rates up to 1 inch per hour may occur. Rain will
generally be lighter further west, but briefly heavy rates cannot
be ruled out as far west as the Santa Fe Metro area and the
Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Additional rainfall amounts tonight
will range from 0.5 to 1.5 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.
