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 8, 2:32 PM MDT, 58 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 8, 2:32 PM MDT, 58 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 232 PM MDT Wed Aug 8 2018 .SYNOPSIS... The threat for strong to severe thunderstorms will continue over eastern New Mexico through late this evening. Meanwhile, very warm and dry conditions will persist over the northwestern corner of the state. Moisture will surge west across the state Thursday as high pressure moves northwest into the Great Basin. The coverage of showers and storms is expected to increase over the entire area Thursday through Saturday with a higher risk for flash flooding. High temperatures will cool below normal with lots of 70s and 80s. && .DISCUSSION... The uptick in storm activity continues for the eastern half of the state with yet another round of strong to severe storms today. 19Z LAPS data shows abundant instability in place and latest near-term and hi-res model guidance shows an active afternoon and overnight period east of the central mt chain. Convective outflows and a deepening cold pool from the plains will allow moderate gap winds to develop within the Rio Grande Valley after 9 pm. This will force low level moisture west to the Cont Dvd tonight and set the stage for scattered to numerous storms Thursday. Steering flow will become north to south Thursday then northeast to southwest Friday as high pressure builds over the Great Basin and an upper trough drifts south from the plains. The Four Corners area is finally expected to get in on the action Friday as steering flow forces storms off the San Juan Mts. The threat for flash flooding will increase over the entire area Thursday through Friday night. High temperatures both days will trend 5 to 10 degrees below normal. Model guidance is still at odds with how the upper wave evolves over the southern plains and/or eastern NM over the weekend. There will still be abundant moisture in place across central and eastern NM but it will become a matter of where an area of subsidence develops on the western periphery of the upper wave. At this time it appears the greatest threat for locally heavy rainfall will be over southern half of NM Saturday. Confidence beyond Saturday lowers significantly so the focus for higher precip chances remains near the high terrain into early next week. Guyer && .FIRE WEATHER... An uptrend in PWATs and wetting storms is underway and will continue through the end of the work-week as the upper high continues to move further northwest away from New Mexico to over the Great Basin. In the mean-time, northwest New Mexico is hot, dry and unstable again today. However, moisture will transport further west across the state overnight thanks to convective outflow and a smaller portion of western New Mexico will be hot, dry and unstable tomorrow. By Friday a moist atmosphere will be in place across the state, with scattered to numerous wetting storms expected. Daytime temperatures will be below normal by Friday thanks to the added cloud cover and rain-cooling. This will continue through the weekend. Forecast confidence in the placement of the upper high next week is low given ongoing differences among the medium range models solutions. Both the GFS and ECMWF show pressure heights increasing over the state as the upper high moves south from over the Great Basin, leading to a warming trend. However, the GFS keeps things moist with the upper high over AZ/UT, while the ECMWF bring the upper high directly over NM. 11 && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF CYCLE VFR conditions prevail and are forecast to persist, with a couple exceptions. Short-lived MVFR conditions are possible at KLVS and KTCC later this afternoon/evening with thunderstorms. Strong outflow winds from an organizing complex of storms across eastern New Mexico this evening will result in east canyon/gap winds at KABQ and a wind shift at KSAF and KROW. 11 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Locally heavy rainfall and flash flooding is also possible with any storm this afternoon and evening. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday Widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected across New Mexico Thursday afternoon through Friday night. Storm motion will be slow and enough instability will exist for heavy rainfall. As soils become increasingly saturated, flash flooding will be possible. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
