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

At least three people were killed by historic flash floods in a New Mexico mountain community that suffered devastating wildfires last year, officials said late Tuesday.

Ruidoso's surge follows deadly flooding in Texas, where authorities reported more than 160 people missing in the aftermath of catastrophic storms.

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.

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".

New Mexico will see both heat and flooding concerns in the coming days following last week’s rainfall, which brought slight improvements to the drought in the southern part of the state. Meteorologist Carter Greulich with the National Weather Service’s Albuquerque office described the coming days as “a rinse-and-repeat-type week” during a weather briefing Monday.

At least three people, including two children, have been killed when catastrophic flooding tore through the community of Ruidoso, New Mexico, and dramatic timelapse video provides a horrific look at just how fast the water rose.

A man who saw the flash flood that descended upon the New Mexico mountain community of Ruidoso, killing three people and damaging dozens of homes, described the scenes as "unbelievable."
