episode_narrativeStrong southwest flow aloft within the base of a passing upper level trough interacted with a Pacific cold front moving east across New Mexico. Enough remnant, low level moisture was in place ahead of the front to produce isolated, dry showers and thunderstorms over central New Mexico. This activity produced several virga bombs across the area, particularly around Santa Fe, where a gust to 68 mph was reported. An impressive microburst cloud formation was captured near the Albuquerque Sunport however the strongest wind was not likely recorded at the ASOS.
event_narrativeThe NWS captured an impressive downburst with blowing dust from a virga shower late on the afternoon of the 23rd. The nearby Albuquerque Sunport reported a peak wind to 44 mph. However, beneath the microburst wind gusts were likely in excess of 60 mph.
