...HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT INTO SATURDAY
MORNING ACROSS MUCH OF WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO...
.Moisture from Tropical Cyclone Sergio will move across the area
overnight and combine with a cold front to produce widespread
heavy rainfall. While a general 1 to 2 inches of rain is expected,
training of storms could lead to locally higher amounts. Already
saturated soils could lead to faster runoff that may result in a
higher chance of flooding. Heavy rain will move away from the area
late Saturday morning.
...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM CDT /6 PM MDT/ THIS
EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...
* This evening through Saturday morning
* Heavy rainfall and already saturated soils could lead to
runoff that may result in flash flooding of urban areas,
streams, and other low lying areas.
* Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize
the dangers of floods and flash floods. Dont drive across
flooded roads as most flash flood deaths occur in automobiles.
Turn around, don`t drown.
