Fox 32 Chief Meteorologist Emily Wahls has an update on the Flash Flood Warning in Chicago for July 8, 2025.

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

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Three people were killed when monsoon rains triggered flash flooding in a New Mexico village, sending walls of water, mud and debris rushing down mountainsides that have been repeatedly scarred over recent years by wildfires and post-fire flooding.

A flash flood is a rapid rise of water along a stream or in a low-lying urban area, the National Weather Service said. Flash flooding can result from slow-moving thunderstorms, from numerous thunderstorms that develop repeatedly over the same area, or from heavy rains associated with tropical cyclones.
