...FLOOD WARNING NOW IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON UNTIL FURTHER
NOTICE...
* WHAT...Major flooding is forecast.
* WHERE...Rio Grande at Johnson Ranch.
* WHEN...From Thursday afternoon until further notice.
* IMPACTS...At 12.0 feet (3.7 meters), the river reaches bankfull,
minor lowland flooding occurs, and no significant damage is
expected.
At 15.0 feet (4.6 meters), flood stage is reached. Moderate
lowland flooding begins. Roads that lead to Cottonwood Campground
and River Road may flood. Stages are practically synonymous with
the gage at Cottonwood Campground at Castolon (CSTT2), and

in the lowlands, and may be threatened.
At 19.0 feet (5.8 meters), the river reaches major flood stage.
Flooding begins to occur upstream in Cottonwood Campground at
Castolon, as stages at each location are practically synonymous.
Moderate lowland flooding begins at the gage site, but no damage
occurs. The gage is inaccessible, as River Road is impassable at
several locations.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 9:15 AM CDT Wednesday the stage was 11.6 feet (3.5
meters).
- Forecast...The river is expected to rise above flood stage
early tomorrow afternoon and continue rising to 20.1 feet

expected.
At 15.0 feet (4.6 meters), flood stage is reached. Moderate
lowland flooding begins. Roads that lead to Cottonwood Campground
and River Road may flood. Stages are practically synonymous with
the gage at Cottonwood Campground at Castolon (CSTT2), and
therefore represent the reach from Santa Elena Canyon through
Cottonwood Campground, where damage may occur. Cattle also graze
in the lowlands, and may be threatened.
At 19.0 feet (5.8 meters), the river reaches major flood stage.
Flooding begins to occur upstream in Cottonwood Campground at
Castolon, as stages at each location are practically synonymous.
Moderate lowland flooding begins at the gage site, but no damage
occurs. The gage is inaccessible, as River Road is impassable at
several locations.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 9:15 AM CDT Saturday the stage was 13.4 feet (4.1 meters).
- Forecast...The river is expected to rise above flood stage
early Monday morning and continue rising to 17.4 feet (5.3
meters) early Thursday morning. Additional rises are possible
thereafter.
- Flood stage is 15.0 feet (4.6 meters).

JPWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Midland/Odessa, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Sep 6, 1:45 PM CDT, 2 hours 51 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 6, 1:45 PM CDT, 2 hours 51 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 145 PM CDT Tue Sep 6 2022 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Wednesday night) Issued at 129 PM CDT Tue Sep 6 2022 A broad upper level ridge encompassing the western half of the CONUS will be our main weather driver for today and tomorrow. Subsidence from the ridge and plenty of mid-level dry air in place will keep precipitation chances at zero areawide each day. Temperatures continue to stay a few degrees above average for most, peaking in the upper 80s to low 90s today and tomorrow afternoon. Upper level cloud cover associated with the outflow from Hurricane Kay may limit high temperatures a degree or so south and west of the Pecos River. A weak cold front is set to move in tomorrow, but won't bring much of an impact other than a wind shift to the northeast. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through Monday) Issued at 129 PM CDT Tue Sep 6 2022 Ridging over the Four Corners will keep our area dry and hot through the rest of the week. Highs will generally be above normal in the 90s with lows quite comfortable in the 60s. Changes look to arrive this weekend as a deepening trough over the N. Plains sends a cold front our way. This front could bring some isolated storms over northern portions of the area, but most notably will be cooler temperatures. Highs will drop into the 80s with lows in the 50s/60s Sunday and Monday. Upper ridging builds back in next week with more warm, dry conditions. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1222 PM CDT Tue Sep 6 2022 Clear skies and VFR conditions will continue through the next 24 hours. Winds will remain relatively light throughout the afternoon, primarily out of the south-southeast. A weak front will push into the area by the end of the period, bringing a northeasterly wind shift to CNM/HOB/INK/MAF before tomorrow afternoon. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
