High water rises are expected in the Pecos River in Chaves County today due to several inches of rain falling upstream overnight. Stay away from the river today! #TurnAroundDontDrown #nmwx pic.twitter.com/rX1QxSHh20

The forecast for the Pecos River below Acme was revised by the @NWSWGRFC. A somewhat lower crest, but data from the @USGS gage and webcam are showing the current rapid rise in river levels. #TurnAroundDontDrown #NMwx pic.twitter.com/mi5QcQZQxV
