A few minutes ago, I took a gander at today's forecast at the National Weather Service website. Jamestown, New Mexico and the whole region around it are under a Flash Flood Watch. 

Well, we definitely can use the water.

The National Weather Service in Albuquerque has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for portions of central, north central,
  northeast, northwest, and west central New Mexico, including the
  following areas, in central New Mexico, Middle Rio Grande
  Valley/Albuquerque Metro Area and San Agustin Plains and Adjacent
  Lowlands. In north central New Mexico, East Slopes Sangre de
  Cristo Mountains, Espanola Valley, Far Northwest Highlands,
  Glorieta Mesa Including Glorieta Pass, Jemez Mountains, Northern

  Area, Southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Tusas Mountains

* A disturbance aloft will approach northern New Mexico today,
  bringing abundant moisture and instability that will lead to
  scattered to numerous thunderstorms. Many thunderstorms will be
  capable of producing heavy to torrential rainfall with localized
  areas receiving in excess of 2 inches under the strongest storms.
  Areas that have recently received heavy rainfall are likely to
  have saturated soils and will be susceptible to abrupt runoff and
  flash flooding. In addition, burn scars from recent wildfires will
  also be vulnerable to flash flooding.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
