Flash flood watch in effect for El Paso, southern New Mexico on Tuesday and Wednesday
As monsoonal moisture moves into the region, West Texas and southern New Mexico are under a flash flood watch for storms that could produce up to five inches of rain in some areas. The flash flood watch remains in effect until the evening hours of Wednesday, June 25, and includes the following areas: El Paso, Fabens, Las Cruces, Hatch, Deming and Ruidoso. Flooding can occur in low-water crossings, arroyos, and flood-prone areas, the National Weather Service warned. El Paso will experience a 90% chance of rain by 6 p.m. on Tuesday, June 24, with the chance of rain continuing into the nighttime hours and into Wednesday, June 25. Parts of West Texas, including El Paso, have a slight risk of excessive rainfall on Tuesday and Wednesday, while parts of Central and southern New Mexico have a moderate risk, according to the Weather Prediction Center. In New Mexico, burn scars left behind from last year's South Fork and Salt Fire have the potential to turn even the smallest amount of rain into dangerous runoff, especially in flood-prone areas. A water rescue was captured in Ruidoso on Monday, June 23, after flood waters transformed streets into rivers, leaving vehicles submerged near Ruidoso Downs. A flash flood watch is issued when conditions are favorable for a specific hazardous weather event to occur, according to the National Weather Service. While it doesn't necessarily mean flash flooding will occur, it is still possible. A flash flood warning is issued when a flash flood is imminent or occurring, and people should move to higher ground. Sometimes floods develop slowly, and forecasters can anticipate where a flood will happen days or weeks before it occurs. Often, flash floods can occur within minutes, sometimes without any visible sign of rain. Being prepared can save your life and give you peace of mind. Create a Communications Plan Assemble an Emergency Kit Know Your Risk Sign Up for Notifications Prepare Your Home Prepare your Family/Pets Charge Your Essential Electronics Leave During a flood, water levels and the rate at which the water is flowing can quickly change. Stay informed and monitor local radio and television stations. Avoid flood waters at all costs and evacuate immediately when water starts to rise. Stay Informed: Listen to radio and television, including NOAA Weather Radio if possible, check the Internet and social media for information and updates. Get to Higher Ground: If you live in a flood-prone area or are camping in a low-lying area, get to higher ground immediately. Obey Evacuation Orders: If told to evacuate, do so immediately. Lock your home when you leave. If you have time, disconnect utilities and appliances. Practice Electrical Safety: Don't go into a basement or any room if water covers the electrical outlets or if cords are submerged. If you see sparks or hear buzzing, crackling, snapping or popping noises--get out! Stay out of water that may have electricity. Avoid Flood Waters: Don't walk through flood waters. It only takes 6 inches of moving water to knock you off your feet. If you are trapped by moving water, move to the highest possible point and call 911 if possible.

(This story has been updated with new weather forecast information.) Take two: United Launch Alliance now aims to launch an Atlas V rocket on Amazon's second Project Kuiper broadband satellite mission at 6:54 a.m. Monday, June 23, seven days after a scrub. Slotted to soar a half-hour after sunrise, the high-profile mission has a 30-minute window from Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. What is Project Kuiper? It's Amazon's planned $10 billion constellation of 3,232 satellites to provide high-speed internet service around the world. ULA launched the ecommerce giant's first 27 production satellites on April 28 from the Space Force installation. This mission will add another 27 to the mix. On Monday, June 16, ULA scrubbed the initial Project Kuiper 2 launch attempt about 35 minutes before liftoff, citing "an engineering observation of an elevated purge temperature within the booster engine." Technicians spent the past week working the issue. Cape Canaveral: Is there a launch today? Upcoming SpaceX, Axiom, ULA rocket launch schedule at Cape Canaveral Countdown Timer Look for live FLORIDA TODAY Space Team blog coverage to kick off two hours before liftoff at We'll link to ULA's webcast about 20 minutes before launch. Bolstered by five solid rocket boosters, the 205-foot Atlas V will fly to the northeast in its most powerful configuration. ULA announced the forecast calls for 80% "go for launch" weather, with cumulus clouds posing a threat. The National Weather Service forecast calls for a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms Sunday night with mostly clear skies, an overnight low around 77 degrees, and east-southeast wind of 5 to 10 mph at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. In the years to come, ULA is slated to launch six more Atlas Vs and 38 Vulcan rockets on Project Kuiper satellite-deployment missions.
