The heavy rainfall poses significant risks, including flash flooding, road washouts, and property damage. Areas with saturated soils, such as Clovis and Curry County, are particularly vulnerable, with standing water exacerbating flood risks. Burn scars from past wildfires, including those in Mora County and southern regions like Ruidoso, are at heightened risk of runoff-related flooding. A wind advisory is also in effect for southern counties, with gusts up to 55 mph potentially causing power outages and downed trees. Residents are urged to avoid flooded roadways and prepare for rapidly changing conditions.
