Live-Blogging ABQ Storms - 08/01/11

(1:50 p.m. PDT) Looks like a westerly/southwesterly day. Nice big storms in that direction, but will they approach ABQ?

(2:15 p.m. PDT) Great-looking gust front blasting a circular area out near Acoma from a collapsing thunderstorm cell.

(2:40 p.m. PDT) Second gust front from storm west of Dalies merges with previous gust front, and that combined front is racing east to the Rio Grande Valley. Not causing anything specific, but it's interesting that the combined front is there.

(3:00 p.m. PDT) First sign of convection at crest of West Mesa just south of I-40, just before the gust front arrives.

(4:50 p.m. PDT) Collapsing storms south of San Ysidro and along the southern flank of the Jemez push a gust front south, completely across Albuquerque. But will it rain, or not?
