What a depressing monsoon season in ABQ so far! It isn't raining that much, and what rain there is goes elsewhere. It must be because I'm blogging about it!
(12:10 p.m. PDT) Hey there's a line of weather that looks like it's pointed straight at ABQ! How can Albuquerque possibly miss rain today? (Oops, I blogged about it - now watch what happens.)
(12:20 p.m. PDT) Gust front out near Alamo.
(1:20 p.m. PDT) There is a spreading gust front from Mt. Taylor too, even without a source storm that seems large enough to merit it. The small storm cell near Belen is riding the Alamo gust front into the Rio Grande Valley: the storm cell just south of I-40 is riding the Mt. Taylor gust front into ABQ.
(2:30 p.m. PDT) Storm arrives in South Valley/Isleta, collapses, and sends out a gust front.
The wind direction has now switched from the NW, so does that mean no more rain?
(3:30 p.m. PDT) Gust front has reached Los Lunas from the north. But all the action is farther south - pretty bleak north of ABQ.
(5:15 p.m. PDT) It's late, but maybe the Jemez will try to send something south.
