AREAS AFFECTED : SAN JUAN, NM
ESFABQ
Rainfall will continue today across northwest New Mexico and
southwest Colorado. Rainfall on saturated soils will increase runoff
into the San Juan, La Plata and Animas rivers. As a result, high
flows will persist through Wednesday. Bankfull conditions are once
again expected for the Animas River in Farmington and the San Juan
River near Shiprock late today into early Wednesday.
For your safety, stay away from the banks of these rivers. Erosion
will make the banks unstable and this fast running water could
easily sweep away those distracted near the bank of the river. Avoid
any recreational activities on these rivers through at least
Wednesday.
Expect rises and impacts to nearby roads and low water crossings. Do
not drive through water of unknown depth. The road may not be intact
below. Stay aware of any flash flood or river flood warnings that are
issued.
