Heavy Rains & Flash Flood Threat.

NM 5-Day Rainfall Total Map.

October has started out very wet and cool and this trend is forecast to continue through Monday night. Widespread moderate to heavy rains with a few embedded thunderstorms are in our forecast today through Monday night. Areas of fog will also occur in many locations especially at night into the morning hours.

A Flood Watch is in effect for today through Monday night for Eddy, Lea, and Culberson Counties as well as parts of West Texas. Another 1" to 2" are in our local forecasts today into Monday night with a few spots possibly picking up more.

This is the time of the year that we need to start looking at the potential for our first freeze across the lower elevations of Southeastern New Mexico. Long-term averages show this occurs between the last week of October and the first week of November. Typically by Halloween, most of us have experienced our first freeze with a few exceptions.
