* Flash Flood Warning for...
  The Blue 2, South Fork and McBride burn scars in...
  South Central Lincoln County in central New Mexico...

* Until 200 AM MDT.

* At 1057 PM MDT, Doppler radar and automated rain gauges indicated 
  thunderstorms producing heavy rain over the Blue 2, South Fork and

  Additional rainfall amounts of 0.25 to 0.75 inches are possible in 
  the warned area. Flash flooding is ongoing or expected to begin 
  shortly.

Excessive rainfall over the burn scar will impact the Rio Bonito, 
Eagle Creek, Cedar Creek and Rio Ruidoso drainages as well as 
downstream along the Rio Hondo. Impacts will include but are not 
limited to all nearby reservoirs, bridges, culverts and roadways 
associated with these drainages, especially at those points where 
streams merge.  Vulnerable properties in low lying areas are 
especially at risk. Impacts could extend at least to Picacho, New 
Mexico. The debris flow can consist of rock, mud, vegetation and 
other loose materials.

  HAZARD...Life threatening flash flooding. Thunderstorms
           producing flash flooding in and around the Blue 2,
           South Fork and McBride burn scars.

  SOURCE...Radar and automated gauges.

  IMPACT...Life threatening flash flooding of areas in and around
           the Blue 2, South Fork and McBride burn scars.

  Bonito Lake, Lincoln State Monument and Hollywood.

This includes Highway 380 between Mile Markers 91 and 99.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

This is a life threatening situation. Heavy rainfall will cause 
extensive and severe flash flooding of creeks, streams and ditches 
in the Blue 2, South Fork and McBride burn scars. Severe debris 
flows can also be anticipated across roads. Roads and driveways may 
be washed away in places. If you encounter flood waters, climb to
