High pressure building over the western plains sent the remnant moisture of Hurricane Odile, which had passed over the region a few days earlier, back into far west Texas and southwestern New Mexico. A weak upper trough was moving into the southwestern U.S. which aided in providing lift to the region. Heavy rain caused several road closures and a vehicle to be washed away near Cliff and flooding in downtown Truth or Consequences.
