This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of north and central
New Mexico.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms along and east of the
central mountain chain this afternoon and evening where large hail,
damaging winds, isolated tornadoes, and locally heavy rainfall are
expected. The potential exists for flash flooding below recent burn
scars in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

Sunday through Tuesday, daily rounds of scattered-to-numerous
showers and thunderstorms will be capable of producing locally heavy
rainfall along and east of the continental divide. Some of the
heaviest rain is expected over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and
along and east of the south central mountains, where rain
accumulation should generally reach 0.75 to 2.25 inches with locally
heavier amounts. The potential exists for flash flooding to develop,
especially in complex terrain, below recent burn scars, and in urban
parts of the southeast like Roswell, Clovis, and Portales.

Wednesday through Friday, daily rounds of scattered-to-numerous
showers and thunderstorms capable of producing locally heavy rainfall
will continue, mainly along and east of the continental divide. The
potential exists for severe thunderstorms along and east of the
central mountain chain each afternoon and evening.
