San Juan County, New Mexico — The National Weather Service in Albuquerque has kept a Flash Flood Warning in effect for east-central San Juan County until 11:45 PM MDT.

## What is happening:

At 6:20 PM MDT, emergency managers confirmed flash flooding already underway in Largo Wash and Gobernador Canyon. Up to an inch and a half of rain has fallen, with as much as another inch possible. This is an observed flood event, not just a radar estimate. Navajo Dam, Archuleta, and Turley are in the warning area, along with Highway 64 between mile markers 74 and 86, Largo Wash, and Gobernador Canyon near Blanco and Archuleta.

## Local impacts:

Small creeks and streams, city streets, highways, underpasses, and low spots are flooding. Flash floods can sweep vehicles off the road in minutes.

## What to do:

- Turn around, don't drown. Never drive through flooded roads — most flood deaths happen in vehicles.

- If you see water rising around you, get to higher ground immediately.

- Stay away from Highway 64 through the warned stretch and keep clear of washes and canyons tonight.

- Do not camp along streams and rivers.
