Heavy rainfall in Colorado has resulted in high flows across multiple rivers across northwest New Mexico. Bankfull conditions have already been reported across the Animas River in Farmington and very high flows have also been reported on the San Juan River near Shiprock. Though river levels have crested for today and will come down through the evening and overnight hours, additional rainfall on Monday and Tuesday will cause these rivers to rise once again. For your safety, stay away from the banks of these rivers. This fast running water could easily sweep away those distracted near the bank of the river. Avoid any recreational activities on these rivers through at least Wednesday. Expect rises and impacts to nearby roads and low water crossings. Stay aware of any flash flood or river flood warnings that are issued. $$ 34
