Impact & Risks

Flash flooding poses a significant risk to Southeast New Mexico, Far West Texas, and adjacent areas. Saturated terrain from previous rainfall increases the likelihood of rapid runoff and localized flooding.

Urban areas, low-lying regions, and locations near rivers or streams may experience hazardous conditions. Motorists and residents should remain alert to rapidly changing weather and flooding threats.
