Live-Blogging ABQ Storms - 08/03/11 - A Watched Pot Does Not Boil!

This morning started off as a SSW kind of day, with lots of activity towards Alamo. I wondered whether that super-massive MCC in Colorado yesterday had warped the fabric of space-time enough to squeeze out a few drops today for ABQ.

(3:25 p.m. PDT) Wow! Looks promising! Big gust front racing down into the Rio Grande Valley and heading towards Acoma from the collapsing cell at the Socorro/Valencia Co. line. Looks like a bomb went off! Powerful storm cells on ABQ's SE and SW sides. It may even be raining at the Airport. But is it enough? The SW cell is fading....

Looks like the SE cell is raining even harder as it moves into the Sandias.

(3:45 p.m. PDT) Maybe that gust front triggered a cell at the Bernalillo Co. line, just south of I-40.

(4:10 p.m. PDT) Raining nicely in Socorro, and in the Pecos Wilderness Area. Some rain out in Rio Rancho too. That little cell on the Bernalillo Co. line looks like it's crossing I-40 and heading towards Rio Rancho.

(4:30 p.m. PDT) Socorro storms moving north. Storms moving onto Santa Ana Pueblo land north of Bernalillo. Signs of renewed activity along Highway 6 SW of ABQ. Albuquerque may get another round of rain!

(4:40 p.m. PDT) Gust front blasting west from collapsing Socorro/Polvadera storm.

Looks interesting on ABQ's SW side!

(5:25 p.m. PDT) SW storms weakening, but coming on in to ABQ's southern periphery.

(10:30 p.m. PDT) Looks like it rained a little bit....
