County, Northern Lea and Southern Lea and southwest Texas,
including the following areas, Eastern Culberson, Guadalupe
Mountains Above 7000 Feet, Guadalupe and Delaware Mountains and Van

creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Area creeks
and streams are running high and could flood with more heavy rain.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Tropical moisture from the remnants of Hurricane Polo will
overspread the region, which will promote heavy rain across
southeast New Mexico and far west Texas. Soils in these areas
remain saturated following heavy rains from last week, which will
further promote the risk for flash flooding.
