IT'S BEING CALLED THE MOST SIGNIFICANT EVENT OF THE MONSOON SEASON. IT'S BEEN A RAINY WEEK ACROSS NEW MEXICO…AND NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGIST BRENT WACHTER SAYS ALBUQUERQUE WILL END UP WITH SOME IMPRESSIVE TOTALS WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE. HE SAYS THE AREA COULD SEE BETWEEN ONE AND TWO AND A HALF INCHES OF RAIN.
BUT THERE'S ALSO BEEN FLASH FLOODING…THE WORST OF IT SO FAR IN SAN JUAN, GUADALUPE, CHAVES AND EDDY COUNTIES. HERE IN ALBUQUERQUE, WACHTER SAYS YOU CAN EXPECT STREET FLOODING…AND WATER MOVING RAPIDLY THROUGH ARROYOS.
