New Mexico
Many New Mexico workers would be impacted by federal government shutdown
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – On Sunday, authorities spoke about how flash flooding affected the Albuquerque Metro.
Bernalillo County experienced power outages and severe flash flooding on Saturday evening. Along with standing water on major roads, rescues were also reported.
Around 10:30 a.m., Albuquerque Fire Rescue and the mayor held a press conference to discuss the weather events.
NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Dangerous weather has been impacting The Metro, as well as other areas in The Rio Grande River Valley. Active weather in the form of flooding thunderstorms, with a few of them severe, have been roaring through with high winds. Additionally, temperatures have taken a dive in areas that have rained.
Earlier today, parts of the South Fork burn-scar received at least a few inches of rain with flash flooding in and around the Ruidoso area. Now, a few of the storms have produced some potentially damaging hail in addition to the heavy rain and gusty winds around Albuquerque as most of the storms are moving relatively quickly from south to north. While some communities closer to the border were sitting in the low triple digits with rain-free conditions, most areas in the Gila National Forest, the Sacramento Mountains, around the urban areas of The Rio Grande, and along the New Mexico-Colorado border are now sitting in the 60’s and low 70s! Thunderstorms got their fuel from the afternoon warmth, the ample moisture present in the atmosphere, and even some help from the arrival of a backdoor cold front. Eventually, as the storms lose their steam tonight while they move to the northern part of the region, the northeastern mountain canyons may experience even gustier east-northeasterly winds early as rain-cooled air will continue to spread.
The high pressure system to the east will keep funneling in Gulf of Mexico and Pacific Ocean moisture as rounds of storms will likely be in store until 4th of July.
New evacuations were ordered Saturday with the possibility of flooding near the burn scar.
RUIDOSO, N.M. – New evacuations were ordered Saturday with the possibility of flooding near New Mexico burn scars.
Ruidoso Emergency Management has issued a critical evacuation notice for the Upper Canyon Area due to the heightened risk of unstable soil conditions and life-threatening floodwaters. Residents and visitors are urged to seek higher ground immediately.
Video showed flooding near Ruidoso, near the Gavilan Canyon Softball Field. Video also showed a steady stream of black sludge making its way through town.
Two years later, and communities in that part of the state are still dealing with the fallout of the Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak burn scar. It was already hit hard by floodwaters last weekend.
Sandbags are being handed out in preparation for more monsoon storms.
