This may lead to isolated flash flooding, especially near burn scars and dry washes. DISCUSSION...Satellite and regional radar imagery across east-central AZ into central NM highlight ongoing convection blossoming over the last hour within an unstable environment (RAP analysis of 1,000-1,500 J/kg SBCAPE). PWs are not anomalous and remain under 1" outside of southern AZ/NM. The greatest factor increasing the flash flood risk, when combined with the sufficient instability levels, are weak mean layer westerly winds around 10-15kts. This may allow for convection tied to sensitive terrain to remain mostly stationary for enough time with rainfall rates up to 1.0-1.5" and lead to isolated flash flooding. Additionally, some west-east training of cells are possible across central NM through this evening should convection align in this orientation. This flash flood risk, while isolated, is greatest near recent burn scars and dry washes. Considerable flash flooding is possible should thunderstorms directly impact the most sensitive terrain in the region.
