Flash Flood Warning
National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
233 PM MDT Sat Jun 29 2024

The National Weather Service in Albuquerque has issued a

* Flash Flood Warning for...
  The Blue 2, South Fork and McBride burn scar in...
  Southeastern Lincoln County in central New Mexico...

* Until 830 PM MDT.

* At 233 PM MDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing 
  heavy rain over the Blue 2, South Fork and McBride Burn Scar. 
  Between 0.25 and 0.75 inches of rain have fallen. Flash flooding 
  is ongoing or expected to begin shortly.

Excessive rainfall over the burn scar will impact the Rio Bonito, 
Eagle Creek, Cedar Creek and Rio Ruidoso drainages as well as 
downstream along the Rio Hondo. Impacts will include but are not 
limited to all nearby reservoirs, bridges, culverts and roadways 
associated with these drainages, especially at those points where 
streams merge.  Vulnerable properties in low lying areas are 
especially at risk. Impacts could extend at least to Picacho, New 
Mexico. The debris flow can consist of rock, mud, vegetation and 
other loose materials.

  HAZARD...Life threatening flash flooding. Thunderstorms
           producing flash flooding in and around the Blue 2,
           South Fork and McBride Burn Scar.

  SOURCE...Radar indicated.

  IMPACT...Life threatening flash flooding of areas in and around
           the Blue 2, South Fork and McBride Burn Scar.

* Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Ruidoso, Lincoln, Ruidoso Downs, Fort Stanton, Glencoe, Alto, 
  Lincoln State Monument, San Patricio, Bonito Lake and Hondo.

This includes Highway 380 between Mile Markers 91 and 107.

The heaviest rains as of 2:30pm MDT have been over the North Fork 
Rio Ruidoso and Panther Creek basins. Rains will expand further over 
the South Fork and Blue 2 burn scars.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

This is a life threatening situation. Heavy rainfall will cause 
extensive and severe flash flooding of creeks, streams and ditches 
in the Blue 2, South Fork and McBride Burn Scar. Severe debris flows 
can also be anticipated across roads. Roads and driveways may be 
washed away in places. If you encounter flood waters, climb to 
safety.

Runoff from rainfall will cause elevated water levels within 
vulnerable drainages in and downstream of the South Fork, Blue 2 and 
McBride burn area.

Do not camp along streams and rivers. Remain alert when hiking in 
steep, narrow canyons. Know where you are relative to low spots and 
drainages.
