Hazardous Weather Outlook National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM 927 AM MDT Tue Jul 6 2021 NMZ401>417-TXZ418>424-071530- Upper Gila River Valley-Southern Gila Highlands/Black Range- Southern Gila Foothills/Mimbres Valley- Southwest Desert/Lower Gila River Valley-Lowlands of the Bootheel- Uplands of the Bootheel-Southwest Desert/Mimbres Basin- Eastern Black Range Foothills-Sierra County Lakes- Northern Dona Ana County-Southern Dona Ana County/Mesilla Valley- Central Tularosa Basin-Southern Tularosa Basin- West Slopes Sacramento Mountains Below 7500 Feet- Sacramento Mountains Above 7500 Feet- East Slopes Sacramento Mountains Below 7500 Feet-Otero Mesa- Western El Paso County-Eastern/Central El Paso County- Northern Hudspeth Highlands/Hueco Mountains-Salt Basin- Southern Hudspeth Highlands- Rio Grande Valley of Eastern El Paso/Western Hudspeth Counties- Rio Grande Valley of Eastern Hudspeth County- 927 AM MDT Tue Jul 6 2021 This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of south central New Mexico, southwest New Mexico, and southwest Texas. .DAY ONE...Today and Tonight Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected across the Borderland today. Storms should develop over the Gila region and Sacramento Mountains by mid-day before drifting into portions of the lowlands. Storm motion today is expected to be generally from north to south. The main hazard with these storms will once again be locally heavy rainfall that could lead to areas of flash flooding. Rain amounts may exceed 2 inches per hour in some of the storms, which may quickly make back country roadways and low water crossings impassable. Hikers and campers should take proper precautions from the threat of lightning and running water. As activity pushes into the lowlands this afternoon, gusty outflow winds up to 40mph will be possible, potentially resulting in loose outdoor objects being blown around. Showers and storms look to continue into the late evening and early overnight period before gradually dissipating by Wednesday morning. Remain alert if driving at night as flash flooding is harder to see in the dark. If you do encounter water running across or ponding on the roadway, be sure to turn around, don't drown as you never know just how deep the water is or what the structure of the road is like underneath the water. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday Daily storm chances will continue for most of the period. The exception will be on Thursday as drier air pushes into the region and cuts off most storm chances. Moisture will start to return on Friday, though storm coverage will remain more limited to mountain areas. Otherwise, expect the typical pattern to persist with storms initially developing in the mountains, then moving into portions of the lowlands. Heavy rainfall leading to flash flooding will be the main hazard with these storms. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be needed, however spotters are encouraged to submit reports of severe weather and flooding if it occurs. Pegram
