Some locations that will experience flash flooding include... Eastern Albuquerque, North Valley, South Valley and Carnuel. This includes the following highways... Interstate 40 between Mile Markers 159 and 170. Interstate 25 between Mile Markers 219 and 225. The heaviest rainfall of near 2 to 3 inches has occurred near or just west of the Four Hills community. Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Arroyos, streams, and normally dry rivers can become raging killer currents in a matter of minutes. Water in arroyos can travel many miles and take hours to reach your location from upstream rain areas. Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of normally dry arroyos and streambeds, low water crossings, intersections and underpasses as well as other poor drainage and low lying areas.
