The episode as NWS ABQ wrote it up.
A back door cold front squeezed through the central mountain passes and canyons into the Rio Grande Valley early in the morning, increasing low level moisture and setting up a surface boundary nearby. Thunderstorms formed south of Albuquerque in the afternoon and moved north across eastern portions of the Duke City. Three quarters to over two inches of rain fell over the eastern heights and foothills in less than one hours time. This resulted in major street flooding with up to two and a half feet of standing water on streets, stranding vehicles. Other flooding around Abiquiu washed out a county road.
The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at Jul 21, 2:00 PM MST, 1 hour 30 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 300 PM MDT TUE JUL 21 2009 CORRECTED TOP DISCUSSION TO MENTION A POTENTIAL STORM SYSTEM DURING THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEKEND .DISCUSSION... SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THIS EVENING...THEN SCATTERED TO ISOLATED ACTIVITY LATE TONIGHT AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH BEARING A STRING OF MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE VORTICES CROSSES THE FORECAST AREA IN SLOW MOVING NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. MODELS HAVE PICKED UP ON THESE FEATURES AND HPC QPF PROGS SUGGEST 1 TO 2 INCHES OF NEW RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE IN SOME LOCATIONS ALONG AND EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN BY SUNRISE WEDNESDAY MORNING. UPSLOPE LOW LEVEL FLOW LOOKS TO BE STRONGEST ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF THE SANDIAS AND SANGRE DE CRISTOS...LEAVING THIS AREA FAVORED FOR THE MOST PERSISTENT AND HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION DURING THE EVENING. LATE TONIGHT THE FOCUS FOR HEAVY RAIN WILL SHIFT FARTHER OUT ON THE EASTERN PLAINS...BUT PARTS OF THE NORTHEAST HIGHLANDS MAY CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE HEAVY PRECIPITATION. DUE TO THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CROSSING THE REGION...SOME LOCATIONS ARE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE TRAINING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING ANYWHERE ALONG AND EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN...AND ESPECIALLY IN AND JUST EAST OF THE SANGRES. MODELS INDICATE THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL TRAVEL SLOWLY OVER EASTERN NEW MEXICO ON WEDNESDAY...WHILE THE H5 HIGH PRESSURE CENTER MIGRATES TO UTAH IN ITS WAKE. THIS WILL PUT MUCH OF THE AREA UNDER NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND FAVOR LOCATIONS ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-40...AND ESPECIALLY THE SOUTH CENTRAL MOUNTAINS...FOR THE MOST PERSISTENT AND POTENTIALLY HEAVY PRECIPITATION. IT WILL ALSO KEEP TEMPERATURES COOL AREAWIDE WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM NEAR NORMAL OVER THE FOUR CORNERS TO AS MUCH AS 13 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL ON THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS. THE UPPER HIGH WILL REMAIN CENTERED OVER UTAH THURSDAY WITH SLIGHTLY FEWER THUNDERSTORMS AS MOISTURE RECYCLES AND TEMPERATURES BEGIN TO REBOUND. FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...LOOK FOR MORE ISOLATED CONVECTION AND WARMING TEMPERATURES AS THE UPPER HIGH WOBBLES AROUND THE GALLUP AREA. LATE SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY MODELS SUGGEST ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MAY DROP SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA WITH A MOIST BACK DOOR COLD FRONT. THIS COULD ENHANCE PRECIPITATION CHANCES ALONG AND EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AND SEND TEMPERATURES PLUMMETING IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN AREAS. IMPORTANT NOTE...EFFECTIVE WEDNESDAY JULY 22ND AT 300 PM MDT...THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN ALBUQUERQUE WILL ISSUE PUBLIC FORECASTS AND WARNING PRODUCTS USING NEW ZONE BOUNDARIES. FOR FURTHER DETAILS...PLEASE REFER TO HTTP://WWW.SRH.NOAA.GOV/ABQ/ZONES/2009PUBLICZONES.PHP /USE LOWER CASE LETTERS/. 44 && .AVIATION... ABUNDANT THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE WILL SHIFT INTO THE EASTERN PLAINS AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. SOME OF THE SLOW MOVING STORMS WILL PRODUCE LOCALIZED MVFR CONDITIONS AND CERTAINLY OBSCURE MOUNTAIN TOPS WITHIN THE HIGHER TERRAIN. I USED VCTS/VCSH FOR ALL OF THE TERMINAL FORECAST SITES. WILL READDRESS THE USE OF TEMPO AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES. ESPECIALLY AS STORM MOVEMENT CAN BE GAGED AND LIKELY AFFECTS DISCERNED. LOOKS LIKE CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT EASTERN PLAINS WELL INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THEN...IT IS LIKELY THAT SOME SORT OF LOW CLOUD COVER...PRODUCING MVFR CONDITIONS...WILL AFFECT CENTRAL AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA LATER TONIGHT. LIKELY AFFECTED TERMINAL SITES INCLUDES LVS BUT ROW...SAF AND TCC CLOUD ALSO BE AFFECTED. NEXT AVIATION DISCUSSION SCHEDULED FOR 09Z. 50 && .FIRE WEATHER... THE OVERALL FORECAST FEEL FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS REMAINS UNCHANGED. WEATHER MODELS REMAIN FAIRLY CONSISTENT IN THE OVERALL UPPER AIR PATTERN ALTHOUGH SOME MODEL RUN TO MODEL RUN DIFFERENCES IN THE TIMING OF THE NEXT BACK DOOR FRONT ARE CERTAINLY THERE. CURRENT BACK DOOR HAS PUSHED MOISTURE AND COOLER TEMPERATURES WESTWARD OVERNIGHT AND THIS MORNING. THIS HAD LED TO AN INCREASED THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE AS COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS DAY. BASED ON MODEL GUIDANCE AND CURRENT SATELLITE TRENDS...BEST POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD WETTING RAIN WILL BE FOUND ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON BUT THEN PROGRESS INTO THE EASTERN PLAINS OVERNIGHT. SOME STORMS WILL PRODUCE HEFTY AMOUNTS OF RAIN DUE TO THE SLOW MOVING NATURE TO THEM. THUNDERSTORMS IN THE EAST WILL INDUCE ANOTHER GAP WIND ALONG THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS TONIGHT AND PROVIDE ANOTHER SURGE OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WESTWARD. THE UPPER HIGH IS EXPECTED TO WAFFLE OVER SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE GREAT BASIN AND FOUR CORNERS AREA THROUGH THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK. MOISTURE TRAPPED UNDERNEATH THIS HIGH WILL RECYCLE OUT IN THE FORM OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...INITIALLY FAVORING THE HIGHER TERRAIN. IT APPEARS THAT THE WARMEST AND DRIEST CONDITIONS OVERALL SHOULD BE FOUND ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS AREA. THIS IS WHERE MINIMUM HUMIDITY VALUES SHOULD FALL INTO THE TEENS DURING THE PEAK HEATING PERIOD. DURING THE THURSDAY/FRIDAY PERIOD...TEMPERATURES SHOULD WARM WHILE HUMIDITY VALUES TREND DOWN PRETTY MUCH AREAWIDE. WINDS ARENT EXPECTED TO BE TOO MUCH OF A FACTOR UNLESS ASSOCIATED WITH SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOWS. NIGHTLY OCCURRENCES OF GAP WINDS SHOULD ALSO OCCUR. IT APPEARS THAT AN INITIAL BACK DOOR WIND SHIFT SHOULD OCCUR ACROSS THE NORTHEAST PLAINS LATER ON FRIDAY BUT THE MORE POTENT BACK DOOR FRONTAL SURGE HAS BEEN DELAYED UNTIL THE LATTER HALF OF SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. REINFORCED ONCE AGAIN ON SUNDAY. THIS BACK DOOR FRONT WOULD REPLENISH MOISTURE LOST ON THURSDAY/FRIDAY BENEATH THE DOMINANT UPPER RIDGE. IT APPEARS THAT ANOTHER BACK DOOR WOULD BE POSSIBLE FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE DEPICTED UPPER FLOW PATTERN WOULD BE SUITABLE FOR THOSE TYPES OF OCCURRENCES. 50 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
