Heavy Rain, Flash Floods Across New Mexico

New Mexico is experiencing ongoing heavy rainfall and thunderstorms, especially in the northern and western regions as well as the Albuquerque Metro and surrounding areas, with flash flood warnings in effect for locations like Farmington. Record rainfall and persistent storms have heightened the risk of flooding, large hail, and gusty winds through Wednesday. Flood watches and warnings remain in place until at least Wednesday morning. Cooler temperatures are present during this period, but drier and hotter conditions are expected to return statewide by Thursday, leading to a mostly dry and warmer weekend. Spotty afternoon storms may continue in the northern mountains and far eastern parts of the state, but the overall risk of severe weather is forecast to decrease by the weekend. Residents are advised to remain cautious around flood-prone areas and low-water crossings until the weather stabilizes.
