🚨LIFE-THREATENING FLOODING 🚨

Earlier this evening, relentless tropical moisture unleashed heavy rain across Lincoln County, NM, just northeast of Ruidoso, triggering a flash flood emergency. Flood alerts remain in effect through Friday. #NMwx

One of our #CoCoRaHS observers in Clovis, NM reported 10.10" of rainfall their gauge this morning. That turned out to be the greatest daily rainfall we've seen in the New Mexico CoCoRaHS network since it was started in 2005. #nmwx

Another haboob moved through Las Cruces tonight. Visibility down to about 2 or 3 miles. Can see the boundary from the radar reflectivity. Air has the "smell" of dust. #nmwx

💥 Big news: Using Tanager-1 observations from @Planet, we detected a large methane plume in the Permian Basin ~7,000 kg/hr.

After we flagged the emissions, the operator mitigated them, & follow-up data confirmed the fix. Accessible data drive action! ⬇️ https://t.co/71Hx7DCL3p
