...HIGH FLOWS IN THE SAN JUAN, ANIMAS AND LA PLATA RIVERS...

Rainfall will continue through Tuesday morning across northwest New
Mexico and southwest Colorado. Rainfall on saturated soils will
increase runoff into the San Juan, La Plata and Animas rivers. As a
result, high flows will persist through Wednesday. Bankfull
conditions are once again expected for the Animas River in
Farmington and the San Juan River near Shiprock late Tuesday into
early Wednesday.

For your safety, stay away from the banks of these rivers. Erosion
will make the banks unstable and 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. Do
not drive through water of unknown depth. The road may not be intact
below. Stay aware of any flash flood or river flood warnings that are
issued.
