Northwestern McKinley County in west central New Mexico...

* At 253 PM MDT, Doppler radar indicated heavy rain due to
slow moving thunderstorms between Standing Rock, Tohatchi, Red
Rock State Park and McGaffey. Some of the heavier rain has
fallen near Pinedale and Church Rock. This will cause arroyo
and small stream flooding in the advisory area.
* Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Gallup, Fort Wingate, McGaffey, Church Rock, Standing Rock,
Coolidge, Brimhall Nizhoni, Red Rock, Red Rock State Park and
Coyote Canyon.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.
Both localized and distant heavy rainfall will create dangerous flows
in arroyos and over low water crossings. Do not attempt to drive
through these waters. Water in arroyos may travel many miles and take
hours to reach your location from upstream rain areas.
