The saturated ground from last week's rainfall, which ranged between 2 to 5 inches, increases the risk of flash flooding in affected areas. Localised flash floods are possible in western Texas, including Lubbock and Midland, during the first round of rain. A more serious flood threat exists for the Desert Southwest, including northern Arizona, New Mexico, southern Colorado, and southern Utah. Areas scorched by recent wildfires are particularly vulnerable to debris flows. Additionally, slippery travel conditions are expected in higher elevations due to snowfall, especially over mountain passes in the Sierra Nevada.
