BULLETIN - EAS ACTIVATION REQUESTED
Flash Flood Warning
National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
1238 PM MDT Mon Sep 2 2024

The National Weather Service in Albuquerque has issued a

* Flash Flood Warning for...
  The Blue 2, South Fork and McBride burn scars in...
  Southeastern Lincoln County in central New Mexico...

* Until 330 PM MDT.

* At 1238 PM MDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing 
  heavy rain over the Blue 2, South Fork and McBride burn scars. 
  Between 0.5 and 1 inch of rain has fallen. Additional rainfall 
  amounts of 0.25 to 0.5 inches are possible in the warned area. 
  Flash flooding is already occurring.

Excessive rainfall over the burn scar will impact the Rio Bonito, 
Eagle Creek, Cedar Creek and Rio Ruidoso drainages as well as 
downstream along the Rio Hondo. Impacts will include but are not 
limited to all nearby reservoirs, bridges, culverts and roadways 
associated with these drainages, especially at those points where 
streams merge.  Vulnerable properties in low lying areas are 
especially at risk. Impacts could extend at least to Picacho, New 
Mexico. The debris flow can consist of rock, mud, vegetation and 
other loose materials.

  HAZARD...Life threatening flash flooding. Thunderstorms
           producing flash flooding in and around the Blue 2,
           South Fork and McBride burn scars.

  SOURCE...Radar indicated.

  IMPACT...Life threatening flash flooding of areas in and around
           the Blue 2, South Fork and McBride burn scars.

* Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Ruidoso, Lincoln, Ruidoso Downs, Fort Stanton, Glencoe, Alto, 
  Lincoln State Monument, San Patricio, Bonito Lake and Hondo.

This includes Highway 380 between Mile Markers 91 and 107.

The main area of concern is along Cedar Creek where cameras show 
that water is out of the creek bank. Water will likely flow over 
Paradise Canyon/Hull Road.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

This is a life threatening situation. Heavy rainfall will cause 
extensive and severe flash flooding of creeks, streams and ditches 
in the Blue 2, South Fork and McBride burn scars. Severe debris 
flows can also be anticipated across roads. Roads and driveways may 
be washed away in places. If you encounter flood waters, climb to 
safety.
