Parts of eastern and southern New Mexico avoided serious flooding this weekend but still received a pretty good soaking from heavy rains.
The National Weather Service said Sunday as much as 5 inches of rain has fallen since Thursday in the Guadalupe Mountains and in other parts of the region.
Meteorologists say between 2 and 4 inches of rain also fell in the last few days in Eddy County.
A flash flood watch was issued Friday and has since expired.
Officials say only minor flooding has been reported on some roads in Carlsbad.
Forecasters predict a 30 percent chance of rain Sunday but shower activity tapering off into the week.
The National Weather Service says the rain stems from remnants of a tropical storm system from the Gulf of Mexico.
