Live-Blogging ABQ Storms - 07/29/11

Nice big easterly wave rained a lot west of El Paso last night, and is moving across western Arizona now.

(1:55 p.m. PDT) Looks like an easterly day. a line of convection is setting up along the dry line; approximately from Santa Rosa to Truth or Consequences, and heading west.

(2:25 p.m. PDT) Lots of action on the SE flank of the Jemez, and just east of Socorro. Convection increasing on north slope of Mt. Taylor.

(3:10 p.m. PDT) Skies are darkening just east of Willard. They might get a nice fetch of moisture through the Rio Grande Valley near Polvadera, making the place live down its name, even if just for one day. Rains are heading up Water Canyon near Socorro.

And a gust front is coming down the flanks of the Jemez, and has already reached Santo Domingo/northern Rio Rancho.
