Live-Blogging ABQ Storms - 08/02/11

(2:00 p.m.) Some rain around the Sandias. Some rain is spreading down Tijeras Arroyo into the Rio Grande Valley, but most of action is heading north near Placitas.

(4:30 p.m. PDT) Storm sweeping east to west along the southern flank of the Jemez Mountains.

(6:40 p.m. PDT) Massive gust front from the storms near Cabezon blasting its way SE! It's nearly reached ABQ!

(7:00 p.m. PDT) That massive gust front cause flare-ups of two storms along the Bernalillo/Sandoval Co. Boundary, west of Rio Rancho. and now it is being joined by a second gust front radiating away from collapsing storms on the SE flank of Mt. Taylor. Not sure where this will lead, but it's interesting.

The big action today was in SE Colorado/NE NM. Quite stormy in NE NM.

Indeed, there are storms approaching the Sandias from the NE now, but it's unclear if they will come into the Rio Grande Valley.

(7:40 p.m. PDT) Oooh! The gust front reached the NE Heights, and there's a struggling storm cell there. Maybe it will help!

And that storm east of the Sandias looks like it might just reach ABQ. It's sure raining out towards Glorieta! The way it's extending SW, that action looks like frontal action!

So, maybe, with a little gust front help.......

(11:10 p.m. PDT) A rare day in Torrance County - very wet!

A massive gust front blew eastward from the Sandias a short time ago, sweeping right across the entire city, and out onto the West Mesa. But not much, if any rain, at least, not yet.
