00:00One New Mexico city received nearly nine times its average rainfall in just six weeks.
00:05After weeks of flooding rain, the southwest is expected to get a break.
00:09But storms are shifting toward the Pacific Northwest.
00:12The city recorded 28.48 inches of rain during that period,
00:16compared with a historical average of just 3.30 inches.
00:20AccuWeather expects a drier pattern across much of the southwest into mid-November,
00:24though some rain remains possible.
00:26Meanwhile, storms could bring several inches of rain to parts of Washington and Oregon.
00:31The heaviest downpours may trigger flash flooding,
00:34while higher elevations could see mountain snow.
00:37The National Weather Service also identifies a risk of heavy precipitation
00:41and possible flooding across parts of the northwest and northern California.
00:45So the southwest may get breathing room,
00:47but the west coast still needs to watch local forecasts.
