WE NEEDED SUNDAY’S RAIN STORM, BUT IT DIDN’T DO MUCH FOR NEW MEXICO EXTREME DROUGHT. THE STORM MOVED IN A BIT EARLY SUNDAY AFTERNOON, IMPACTING BERNALILLO, VALENCIA, SOCORRO AND CIBOLA COUNTIES. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS ONE METEOROLOGIST SAYS IT’LL TAKE MORE RAIN STORMS LIKE SUNDAY’S TO BRING THE STATE OUT OF DROUGHT CONDITIONS.
AT THE ALBUQUERQUE SUNPORT, JUST OVER HALF AN INCH OF RAIN WAS REPORTED WITH HAIL THAT WAS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A DIME. BELEN GOT HAIL THE SIZE OF PING-PONG BALLS SUNDAY WHILE HALF-INCH HAIL HIT IN RIO RANCHO. BUT THE REST OF THIS WEEK IS FORECAST TO BE HOT AND DRY.
