The wider storm

Despite a relative downtick in monsoon moisture over the weekend, slow storm motions of thunderstorms developing near or directly over the Ruidoso area burn scars resulted in flash flooding on June 26th and 28th. Swift moving water was reported to run down the Rio Ruidoso on the 26th, destroyed one small bridge crossing in the Upper Canyon area. Similar burn scar flash flooding resulted in the closure of the bridge at Main Road and Fox Drive on the 28th.
