Additional details: - A potent Pacific storm system will continue to draw deep moisture over western New Mexico generating widespread showers and thunderstorms. Some of the fast moving thunderstorms will produce locally heavy rain at rates over 1 inch per hour, and storms will train in succession over some locations repeatedly increasing the risk of flash flooding. Additional rain amounts for the remainder of tonight through late Thursday night will generally range from 0.25 inch to 1 inch, with locally higher totals up to 3 inches. - This includes Farmington, Gallup, Zuni Pueblo, and portions of Navajo Nation. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
