Additional flash flooding possible where storms persist over flood prone areas as rates exceed 1 inch per hour. DISCUSSION...Numerous thunderstorms are ongoing across much of western New Mexico and along the Front Range of Colorado this afternoon. A low over northeastern Arizona is increasing the forcing across western New Mexico, generally supporting the storms merging into very slow moving clusters. Those storms that have formed thus-far have a history of producing localized rainfall rates over 1 inch per hour, resulting in widely scattered instances of flash flooding. Continued easterly advection of deep Gulf moisture into the terrain of New Mexico and Colorado along a frontal boundary in the area will also continue to support thunderstorm formation and persistence across southern Colorado and central New Mexico. SPC Mesoanalysis shows CAPE values between 1,000 and 2,000 J/kg across this area, which given the very slow movement of the storms should allow them to persist into the evening hours. HiRes guidance suggests very slow moving storms, likely tied to the terrain, will persist through about 05Z. With continued moisture advection, and low FFGs across much of western New Mexico and southern Colorado, localized areas of flash flooding are possible. The most likely areas are typical dry washes and local valleys that drain nearby terrain where storms may be anchored. For far northern New Mexico and southern Colorado, the Front Range and adjacent Plains appear to be the area of greatest concern for additional flash flooding into this evening.
