New Mexico's National Weather Service forecast offices are facing a significant drop in staffing amid a summer monsoon season that has spawned tragedies like the flooding that claimed the lives

The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a flash flood emergency for Ruidoso on Tuesday, warning of rapidly deteriorating conditions and rising river levels

The National Weather Service is sharing details on the rapidly evolving situation in New Mexico. In the past few minutes, the NWS says a "father and two children washed away. SW crews in pursuit." Another update reads, "1 adult 2 children trapped and needing rescue".

Over the holiday weekend, New Mexico’s neighboring state endured a catastrophic flood that claimed the lives of 90 people, with several others still missing.

Flash flooding hit a New Mexico town devastated by wildfires last year, washing away at least one home and causing gas leaks, city officials said Tuesday.

Monsoon rains in southern New Mexico triggered flash flooding that killed three people in a village that is a popular summer retreat, officials said.
