A significant flooding alert is now in effect across the majority of New Mexico as an extended rainfall event, initiated on September 22, poses a serious threat of flash floods through Wednesday. The National Weather Service has indicated that widespread precipitation totals of 3 to 4 inches are anticipated, with certain localized areas possibly receiving up to 5 inches. There exists a 10% likelihood that regions in east-central New Mexico and the Lower Rio Grande Valley may experience 6 to 8 inches of rain. Major urban centers such as Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Carlsbad, and Hobbs are currently under advisory. Meteorologists caution that the most intense rainfall is expected to occur from Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, as multiple rounds of thunderstorms traverse the state.
