What the National Weather Service wrote

Flash flooding occurred through the mid to late evening hours. Multiple cars were stalled across Deming, underpasses were flooded and at least one house started taking in water.

The wider storm

A deep east-southeast monsoon flow brought plenty of Gulf of Mexico moisture into the region. A weak surface low extended through southwest New Mexico which helped to fuel slow moving thunderstorms with heavy rain and flash flooding.

Began near Deming (32.2783, -107.7859).
