As snow changed to rain across central New Mexico, much of the precipitation struggled to reach the ground due to drier near-surface conditions. However, the resultant virga created localized but very strong wind gusts stretching from Santa Fe to Albuquerque and Moriarty.
Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
The episode as NWS ABQ wrote it up.
As snow changed to rain across central New Mexico, much of the precipitation struggled to reach the ground due to drier near-surface conditions. However, the resultant virga created localized but very strong wind gusts stretching from Santa Fe to Albuquerque and Moriarty. No lightning occurred with these virga showers.
