THE MONSOONS ARE RETURNING TO NEW MEXICO. IN FACT, THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR MUCH OF THE STATE, INCLUDING ALBUQUERQUE. IT’S IN EFFECT FROM LATE TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH LATE TUESDAY NIGHT.
THE WEATHER SERVICE SAYS THE THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING IS ELEVATED DUE TO ALREADY WET SOIL CONDITIONS, PLUS THE LIKELIHOOD OF SLOW MOVING STORMS. URBAN AND SLOPED AREAS WILL BE ESPECIALLY SUSCEPTIBLE.
AND, AS ALWAYS, PEOPLE ARE BEING URGED TO STAY AWAY FROM ARROYOS.
