EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14) — The KFOX14 Severe Weather Team has issued a Weather Warn through Saturday as showers and storms are expected to bring periods of heavy rain to parts of the Borderland Thursday and Friday.
Moisture associated with Tropical Storm Vance is expected to move north from Mexico and combine with a passing weather disturbance, helping fuel showers and storms across the region.
Vance is forecasted to weaken as it moves along Mexico’s western coast, but some of its moisture could still reach the Borderland.
A marginal flash flood risk, or 1 out of 4, includes El Paso and Las Cruces as well as parts of southern New Mexico.
Heavy downpours could cause localized flooding, especially where storms repeatedly pass over the same areas, or in places with poor drainage.
Stay weather aware and check for updates as the forecast develops. If you encounter a flooded road, turn around, don’t drown. Never drive through floodwater.
