Rain is in store for the weekend, especially on Saturday.
National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for Saturday and asks people to be careful near canals, rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Excessive runoff may result in flooding.
If you live near these bodies of water, it might be best to take caution.
“A long duration rainfall event with embedded thunderstorms is expected Saturday when widespread amounts of 1 to 2 inches
are likely, especially across parts of eastern N.M. where locally up to 3 inches is possible,” Albuquerque National Weather Service Meteorologist Daniel Porter said.
Be careful out there folks.
