The National Weather Service in El Paso Tx/Santa Teresa has issued a

* Flash Flood Warning for...
  The South Fork and Salt burn scars in...
  North Central Otero in south central New Mexico...

* Until 800 PM MDT.

* At 204 PM MDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing
  heavy rain over the South Fork and Salt burn scars. Between 0.2
  and 0.5 inches of rain have fallen. Additional rainfall amounts up
  to 0.8 inches are possible in the warned area. Flash flooding is
  ongoing or expected to begin shortly.

Excessive rainfall over the burn scar will result in debris flow
moving through the area. 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 South Fork
           and Salt burn scars.

  SOURCE...Radar.

  IMPACT...Life threatening flash flooding of areas in and around
           the South Fork and Salt burn scars.

* Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Lake Mescalero.

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 South Fork and Salt 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.

Move away from recently burned areas. Life-threatening flooding of
creeks, roads and normally dry arroyos is likely. The heavy rains
will likely trigger rockslides, mudslides and debris flows in steep
terrain, especially in and around these areas.

In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are
potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded
roads. Find an alternate route.
