The radar

The Albuquerque radar (KABX), 66 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 02:46 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Albuquerq/Krtlnd, NM (KABQ), launched 00:00Z, 2.8 hours before the alert went out and 75 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Albuquerque, NM wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Aug 4, 2:57 PM MDT, 5 hours 50 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 4, 2:57 PM MDT, 5 hours 50 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM
257 PM MDT MON AUG 4 2008

.DISCUSSION...
20Z SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS TWO SURFACE TROUGHS OVER NM...ONE OVER THE
EASTERN PLAINS AND THE OTHER OVER THE WEST CENTRAL MTNS. WATER
VAPOR LOOP SHOWS AN UPPER WAVE OVER CENTRAL NM MOVING SLOWLY NORTH.
VISIBLE SATELLITE LOOP SHOWS AN IMPRESSIVE MCV OVER EASTERN SOCORRO/
WESTERN LINCOLN COUNTIES SLIDING NORTH WITH CONVECTION FIRING IN
THE VICINITY OF THIS FEATURE. ELSEWHERE...NUMEROUS STORMS HAVE
FIRED OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND ARE MOVING LITTLE THUS THE HEAVY
RAINFALL THREAT CONTINUES.

FOR TONIGHT...EXPECT SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS STORMS WITHIN THE SFC
TROUGH AXES THROUGH AT LEAST 06Z OVER THE NORTHERN MTNS/ESTANCIA
VALLEY AND CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WILL BE THE MAIN
FORCING MECHANISM FOR THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AGAIN THIS EVENING...
INCLUDING STORM MOTIONS FROM THE SSE OFF THE MANZANO/SANDIA MTNS.
700MB/500MB TEMPS ARE 1 TO 3 DEGREES WARMER THAN SUNDAY WITH HIGHER
PWATS THEREFORE OUTFLOWS MAY NOT BE AS EFFICIENT IN THE VALLEY
TONIGHT.

THE AXIS OF BEST MOISTURE CONVERGENCE SHIFTS TO THE NORTHWEST ACROSS
THE STATE TUESDAY. 500MB TEMPS CONTINUE TO WARM TO AROUND -3C OVER
THE CENTRAL AND SE PLAINS TO LIMIT CONVECTION IN THESE AREAS. ALL
EYES THEN TURN TO LOW/MID LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTION FROM TROPICAL
STORM EDOUARD DRIFTING WESTWARD TOWARD TX. SUBSIDENCE AHEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM WILL LIKELY SHUT OFF CONVECTION IN ALL BUT THE NW CORNER
WEDNESDAY. EXTENDED MODEL GUIDANCE WASHES OUT MOST OF EDOUARD
BEFORE REACHING NEW MEXICO...RESULTING IN MOSTLY A BOOST TO OUR
MONSOONAL CIRCULATION. THE MOST INTERESTING PERIOD WILL BE THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO SATURDAY AS A FRONT MOVES SW INTO THE E PLAINS OF NM.
THIS WILL LIKELY AID IN WIDESPREAD STORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE
CENTRAL AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE...WITH A HEAVY QPF EVENT
POSSIBLE OVER THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS/CENTRAL MTN CHAIN.

GUYER

&&

.AVIATION...
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE OVER ALL BUT THE
FAR EASTERN PLAINS THROUGH AT LEAST MIDNIGHT.  LOCALIZED IFR CIGS
AND VSBYS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE STRONGEST STORMS ALONG WITH WIND GUSTS
TO 35 KNOTS.  LINGERING SHOWERS AND ISOLATED MVFR CIGS MAY OCCUR
OVERNIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING BEFORE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP AGAIN
EARLY TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 09Z...KD

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A MOIST SOUTH OR SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEK.
THIS WILL RESULT IN HIGHER HUMIDITIES ON AVERAGE AND DAILY ROUNDS OF
THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING WETTING RAINS...PRIMARILY THE
NORTHWEST TWO THIRDS OF THE AREA. KD
