Observation Date Observation Time Precipitation Snowfall Snowfall SWE Snow Depth Snow SWE Notes
10/1/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Still dry! Yesterday was another picture perfect day. Temp made it to ~84F along with PM RH dipping to ~10%. Dew point has been slowly declining over the last few days, reaching a low of ~24F in the late PM. Looks like more of the same for today.
10/2/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Although there is no rain to report, this is the fifth morning in a row with frost on the ground and on the house roof. Yesterday afternoon brought a high temp of ~85F along with the lowest afternoon RH (~7%) and DP (~14F) seen in weeks! 'Wonder if we'll get any more than cold and wind out of the next system?
10/3/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Still dry (except for a light, patchy frost). Very light winds (~1Kt) overnight allowed us to cool a bit more (T~37F) than our surroundings. Looks like it's going to get cooler and windier!
10/4/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Unusually warm (T~50F) and dry (RH~45%) morning. In apparent response to an approaching cold front, both the winds and the RH changed abruptly (increasing & decreasing, respectively) during the 0400hr. Today looks like it will be cool, windy and dry-followed by a freeze warning for tonight/tomorrow morning!
10/5/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Yesterday was a rainless, cool, breezy and extremely dry day. The temp peaked @ ~65F during the PM while NW winds gusting to 10-15 Kt throughout the day and into the evening. Both the mid-PM RH & DP dropped into the low teens. Overnight breezes apparently kept the freezing temps away. Morning lows at our location were in the mid-30s(F).
10/6/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M UPDATE: The temp at this location remained below freezing until the 0800hr. The freeze is a day late but not a dollar short! Temp has been below 32F since the 0600hr. It is currently ~30F and falling slowly and there is a general, light frost. The air is also a bit dry. The current DP is ~24F.
10/7/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M After a nice, sunny, dry day (T~72F/PM-RH~17%), this morning was a bit cooler than anticipated. At ~07:00, the temp was ~32F and falling. Early morning DP remains low (~25F). In spite of a shortage of moisture, we managed some more spotty frost.
10/8/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Nothing but dust and a couple of dead bugs in the rain gauge. In spite of calm winds overnight, clouds helped keep the temps in the lo-40s to hi-30s. Looks like more wind and cold are on the way.
10/9/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another pleasant, rainless day! Looks like the upcoming winds will bring only more fresh dust for the gauge. I don't quite know where the moisture might be coming from but, the surface dew points (at our location) have been slowly creeping up, holding steady in the 30s yesterday and this morning.
10/10/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Nice day but, no rain! In spite of calm to occasionally light winds overnight, thin cloud cover helped keep the temp up. It stair stepped down from the 50s @ midnight to the hi-30s. The ground-level dew point continues its slow increase, sitting just below 40F this morning. Winds here are currently calm. Let's see what today brings!
10/11/2013 7:00 AM 0.15 M M M M Our automated station tells us that yesterday's rain fell around mid-day (we weren't home). Along with the onset of rainfall, came some real wind (~30kt) and rapid fall in temperature (from ~69F to ~52F). Clear skies and light air overnight allowed a further cool down and a frosty morning.

They have been in the mid-30s since the 2300hr last night. There seems to be some action on the horizon. Maybe some parts of the state will get some moisture. We'll see!
11/15/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another rainless day followed by a cold (T~26F), dry, frosty night & morning. Temps here fell into the 30s during the 1900hr last night and have been in the mid-20s since midnight. Looks like some useful moisture may be on the way. We'll see.
11/16/2013 7:00 AM 0.06 M M M M Measurable rain!! A brief, very light shower around 16:30 delivered a good trace to the gauge. Additional rainfall during the late evening delivered the bulk of the moisture. An additional light shower occurred during the 07:00 this morning. We'll see how today plays out!
11/17/2013 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Friday/Saturday's weather system delivered its parting shot to us during the mid-0700 hour (shortly after filing time) yesterday-depositing an additional 0.01" into the gauge.

11/19/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain, just heavy frost. After a cloudy to partly-sunny, quiet, cool (T~56F) day, the late- PM skies cleared, the breezes fell calm and the temp started to slide. They reached the upper 30s during the 1800hr and continued a slow decline. Temps have been in the lo-30s & upper 20s since the 2300hr last night. The air continues to dry. After reaching the lo-40s over the weekend, the ground-level DP has drooped into the mid-20s. However, the outlook for some moisture over the next few days still looks good.
11/20/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain, just light frost! Temps in the 30s since the early AM hours, falling below freezing during the 0600hr. With a couple of systems on the way, things may be looking up.
11/21/2013 7:00 AM 0.21 M M M M Light shower activity began ~11:30 yesterday morning and continued off & on into the evening-ending during the 1900hr last night. If the outlook holds up, it might be time to consider dusting off the snowboards and polishing the snow sticks!!
11/22/2013 7:00 AM 0.35 M M M M Surprisingly warm (mid-30s) this AM, here and at surrounding stations. Lt Air overnight. Shower activity began during the 2000hr last night and continued through the midnight hour. The heaviest rain occurred during the 2300hr last night. An additional small amount of rain fell during the 0400hr this AM.
11/23/2013 7:00 AM 0.05 0.1 M M M Snowfall occurred during the 0400-0500hrs this morning. Light, uneven dusting on the ground, grass and flat surfaces.

11/24/2013 7:00 AM 0.06 0.3 M M M Light dusting of snow occurred sometime after the 2200hr last night. Light snowfall restarted @ ~06:45 this morning. Increased to moderate @~07:15.
11/25/2013 7:00 AM 0.05 0.9 0.50 1.0 0.11 Light snowfall began @ ~06:45 yesterday morning. Snowfall became moderate/heavy during the mid-0700hr. Began tapering off during the 0800hr and was essentially over by 09:15. It deposited an additional 0.8" of snow which melted to give 0.04" of water. An additional dusting of snow occurred overnight depositing ~0.1" which melted to give 0.01" of water. Throughout this entire episode, our location was shielded from the rather harsh winds which blew throughout the ABQ area.
11/26/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Sorry I'm late! No rain, just heavy frost. Clear skies, calm winds and temps in the 20s since the 2300hr last night along with RH in the lo- to mid-90s resulted in the heaviest frost of the season. Frost had the appearance of newly fallen snow!
11/27/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rainfall to report, just another cold (~21F), frosty morning! Temps here fell below 32F by the mid-1900hr last night. Clear skies and calm winds allowed our location to fall into the 20s since the midnight hour.
11/28/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Forgot to add earlier... , Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Hanukkah!!! No rain to report, just more frost! Temps have been in the mid-20s since the Midnight hr. Light winds since ~04:00 have stirred the air enough to even out the local area temps. The atmosphere remains dry with a ground-level DP of ~20F. Looks like there's nothing on the immediate horizon.
11/29/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M After a pleasant (T~49F), sunny day, the temps fell quickly reaching the hi-20s by 2000hr. With the help of mostly calm winds, they stayed in the mid-to lo-20s overnight. Today looks like more of the same!
11/30/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Still cold and dry! Hi-clouds and occasional light winds helped keep overnight temps up a bit. They have been just under 30F since the 2200hr last night. Currently, temps are in the mid-20s and falling slowly.
12/1/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Happy First of December! Other than the frost, we're still dry! Other than our pre-sunrise dive into upper 20s, overnight temps remained in the mid to lo-30s helped by cloudy skies and mostly clam winds. Looks like some changes may be on the way. If I've tallied it correctly, last month brought our location 0.94" of rainfall and melted snow! Let's see what December might have to offer.
12/2/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another dry morning. After a cold (~27F) start yesterday, cloudy skies really slowed the daytime warming. Temp peaked @~50F just after 13:00. NNW breezes began picking up and the temp slowly fell during the PM hours. Clouds and occasional light winds helped keep the overnight temps near 30F. All available info suggests the atmosphere is extremely dry. Let's hope the next system brings us more than cold and wind!
12/3/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Still cold and frosty! After reaching a high of ~53F @ during the 1400hr yesterday, the temps fell steadily, reaching the freezing mark during the 1900hr last evening. Temps at our location have been in the mid-20s midnight, along with calm winds and RH =>90%. Ground-level DPs remain in the mid-20s (Although help may be on the way with the next system!!)
12/4/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M After a warm (T~65F), dry (RH~13% in mid PM), breezy day yesterday, we saw a rather warm overnight. In spite of mostly calm winds, high clouds (helped by occasional puffs of wind) kept the overnight temps mainly in the mid to upper-30s. Lo AM RH (~50%) has given us our first morning without frost in a while. Strong suggestions of big changes on the way. Let's see what we get out of them!
12/5/2013 7:00 AM 0.08 1.0 M M M Light snow overnight! Stopped at our location during the 0600hr. Measured depth ~1.0". Temps here in the upper 30s since midnight and <32F since the 0400hr. Winds essentially calm since the 0300hr. Let's see if we get any more today.
12/6/2013 7:00 AM 0.07 0.6 0.07 1.5 0.15 Light snowfall began during the 0800hr yesterday. Snow fell at varying rates throughout the AM and early PM, stopping @ ~13:30. We were promised cold & cold we got. The high yesterday was ~38F @ midnight. From there, the temps fell slowly, but steadily, reaching ~8F this morning. There may be some more cold & snow on the way!
12/7/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.5 0.19 No new snow. Even though the mid-PM temps only made it into the upper 30s, bright sunshine and winds gusting to 6-9kt throughout the day have reduced the snow cover to ~40% of the ground surface. That which remained was uniformly 0.6" deep. Core melt resulted in just under 0.2" (a bit more than fell during Thursday's snowfall!). If the windshield is any useful guide, the additional liquid may have come from the thick, dense layer of (very difficult to remove) ice that formed during the very cold (T<10F) early morning hours yesterday.
12/8/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.5 M No new snow. Even though the temp struggled to make 30F (it did ~15:40), residual snow cover continued to decrease helped by gusty northerly breezes throughout the day. Currently only ~20% of the ground is covered. Depth of the remaining patches ranges from ~0.4" to ~1.0"-averaging to ~0.5". Remaining snow patches do not lend themselves to coring & melting. Current radar suggests there may be some on the way.
12/9/2013 7:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Last night's snow missed us! However, a brief flurry during the 0700hr yesterday delivered a quick, light dusting.
12/10/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain/snow-just cold! At just under 7F, this morning is the coldest of the season (so far). Light winds (1-3kt) overnight, gusting occasionally to as much as 10kt, have helped keep the temps from diving further. Not only is it cold but, it is also dry. The Dew Point here has been hovering near 0F (currently @ +2F) for the past 24 hours! There doesn't appear to be any immediate change in store for us.
12/11/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Nothing but frosty cold (T~11F)& dry (DP~8F) to report-although not quite as cold & dry as yesterday! Temps have been within a degree or two on either side of 10F since midnight. Looks like a possible long shot for some snow/rain tomorrow. We'll see.
12/12/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Still no rain or snow! After our second above-freezing (T>40F @~15:00) afternoon in a row, we've gotten our warmest morning (T~25F) in a while. Dew points here are also creeping up, sitting @ ~12F this morning. Rain/snow tonight? We'll see!
12/13/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Lots of weather related delays reported in surrounding areas but, not here. Snowfall activity missed us again. Clouds and light winds have helped keep the temps here close to the freezing mark since the 2100hr last night. Right now, it looks like our next chance for moisture might be late next week!
12/14/2013 7:00 AM T T 0.00 0.0 0.00 The southern edge of a snow band brushed our area during the 0900hr yesterday morning. It delivered a very light dusting of snow. Clearing skies and winds going light to calm since the 0300hr have allowed temps to fall below 20F this morning.
12/15/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Yesterday was a very pleasant (but dry) day. Northerly winds were mainly light but, gusted occasionally to 7-10kt, giving mid-PM temps in the mid-40s. Clear skies and light winds after midnight allowed overnight temps to hover a degree or so above and below 20F since the 0100hr. Today looks like more of the same!
12/16/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Still nothing to report! After reaching a high of ~49F yesterday, the temps fell slowly into the upper 20s during the evening hours. After toggling between the mid and upper 20s until the 0500hr, the temp fell quickly into the upper teens. It is currently at ~18F. Today promises to be a bit warmer and still dry.
12/17/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 After a cold (T~18F) start, temps climbed to ~56F during the mid-PM yesterday. Yesterday's breezy conditions quieted down after sundown and under clear skies and calm winds, the temps responded by falling into the mid to lo-20s after midnight. Breezy conditions during the 0500hr this morning raise the temp into the upper-20s.
12/18/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Still no rain/snow! Following a delightfully warm (~57F) afternoon, the temps fell into the 20s by the 0100hr this morning. Light winds kept temps at our location (lo-20s) in step with our surroundings. Will it rain/snow this weekend??
12/19/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another cool (T~24F), dry (DP<20F), lightly frosty morning. After a very pleasant (T~54F) afternoon, with more of the same promised for today, changes seem to be on the way. Will we see any useful moisture??
12/20/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Still no rain/snow to report. It looks like the bill for the last few days of pleasant weather (sun, temps in the mid-50s) may be coming due. Let's see if this next system delivers any useful moisture for us.
12/21/2013 7:30 AM 0.07 0.0 M 0.0 M Finally, something to report and I went and slept in! Gauge held just a bit more than 0.07" of rain this morning. According to our automated station the rainfall occurred during the 0100hr. Mountains to the east look like they got a nice dusting of snow.
12/22/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Whatever action may have occurred overnight missed us! Temps held in the upper 30s till ~midnight, then began a fall into the lo-20s, matching the ground-level DP. Looks like we're out of the running for rain/snow for a while.
12/23/2013 7:00 AM T T 0.00 0.0 0.00 Nothing to report this morning. My low transmitter battery became a dead battery overnight! There was a brief (30-min or so) snow flurry during the 0900hr yesterday. No visible accumulation.
12/24/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Dry and getting drier! Along with clear skies & calm winds overnight the temp and Dew Point have both fallen. They are sitting @ ~17F & ~15F respectively.
12/25/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 All we have to say today is "MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!"
12/26/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Happy day after Christmas!! After a pleasant day (sun, temps in the mid-40s) yesterday, clear skies and (for the most part) calm winds allowed the overnight temps to fall rapidly- reaching ~13F just before 05:00. Looks like more on tap for today.
12/27/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report! Clear skies and calm winds overnight have let the temps fall to or below 20F since midnight. Light winds since the 0600hr have stirred up the air and raised the temps to the mid-20s here and at nearby locations.
12/28/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another cold (T~16F @ 06:00), dry (DP~12F) morning--not dry enough to keep the frost away!! 'Looks like the weather is going to tease us over the next day or so.
12/29/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Can't even report frost on the windshield--for the first time in a while, there isn't any!! Under cloudy skies and with essentially calm winds, temps have been at or just below freezing since the 00hr last night. Overnight RH has been low, hovering in the 60s & 70s. In spite of our recent cold front, today doesn't look very promising either!
12/30/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Interesting overnight temp behavior. After reaching a high of ~48F just after noon yesterday, the temps fell slowly & continuously, reaching the lo for the day (~20F) just before midnight. Calm winds and clear skies allowed temps to fall further until ~ the 0300hr when occasional bursts of wind (up to ~5kt) stirred the air and caused the temps to bounce from below 20F to the lo-30s & upper 20s throughout the next couple of hrs. Winds have been less than ~3kt and variable since the 05hr and the temps have continued their fall. Currently ~20F at our location. This behavior was also exhibited at surrounding stations.
12/31/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Nothing to report but another cold (T~14F), dry (DP~10F) morning!
1/1/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Still nothing to report but another cold & dry morning.
1/2/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another cold and dry morning. After reaching ~56F shortly after noon yesterday, the temps fell slowly & continuously through the afternoon and evening. Clear skies and calm winds since the 2300hr have allowed temp at our location to fall ~4F below nearby locations. At 07:00, the temp here was ~15F & falling slowly with a DP of ~12F. Looks like any chance of precipitation is about a week away!
1/3/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 In spite of clouds moving in since the 0500hr, calm winds overnight have allowed yet another cold morning in our section of the Rio Grande Valley. Temp @ 07:00 was ~15F with a DP of ~10F. 'Wonder how far south the next disturbance will reach?
1/4/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another dry morning (DP~16F). After reaching a high of ~51F yesterday during the late 1500hr, temps began falling slowly, reaching the upper 20s by the 00hr today. Temps continued to fall slowly to the lo-20s/upper teens. Brief puffs of breeze since the 0400hr caused temps to bounce around the 20F mark. Don't hold out any hope for rain/snow today!
1/5/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Dry! Dry!! Dry!!! DP at our location has been <10F since the 2000hr last night (currently @~4F). After a spring-like day (windy w/hi ~61F), the temps fell slowly and steadily through the evening & overnight hrs (reaching the hi-20s by the 0000hr. Light winds persisted into the 05hr & then became calm, allowing the temp to fall into the lo-10s. At 07:00 this morning, the temp here was ~11F.
1/6/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Nothing but the cold & dries to report. Overnight Temps (currently @ ~18F) have been bouncing between the lower & upper teens in concert with the local winds. After starting out with a DP ~+4F yesterday morning, things went further downhill with the DP reaching ~0F around mid-day. It continued to fall during the afternoon, reaching ~-4F during the late PM hours. DP remained near 0F overnight and is currently sitting @ ~+1F. Let's see how long this dry spell lasts.
1/7/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Still dry and cold! DP <5F overnight-currently @ ~3F. In spite of thin clouds, calm winds allowed the temps at our location to slowly fall to ~12F (a couple of degrees cooler than our immediate surroundings). Looks like more clouds headed our way! Will it rain or snow??
1/8/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Still cold and dry. In spite of a thin veil of cloud through at least the 2200hr last night, calm winds allowed the temps here to fall below 20F by the 2300hr. Temps continued to fall slowly reaching ~11F during the 0500hr this morning. Since then, occasional puffs of wind have brought out temp more into line with out immediate surroundings (currently @ ~14F). Dew point has remained below 10F (currently @ ~6F). Maybe we'll get some moisture tomorrow!
1/9/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Essentially calm winds & clear skies overnight left us a bit warmer this morning (T~15F) but, still cold (and dry DP~8F). Looks like we're going to miss out on rain/snow again!
1/10/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Nothing to report except, overcast skies before midnight helped keep the overnight lows to ~20F. Looks like we're slated to get a bit of wind and little else!
1/11/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Still dry! Other than the wind direction (NWLY to NELY), yesterday looked like an early Spring day (temps in the mid-50s, gusty winds & blowing dust!). We haven't seen measurable precipitation @ our location since 20Dec2013. The last heavy frost was on the morning of 26Dec! Yesterday afternoon, WFO/ABQ reported: "IF THE ABQ SUNPORT CONTINUES WITHOUT PRECIPITATION THROUGH THE 25TH OF THIS MONTH IT WOULD BE THE LONGEST STRETCH OF CONSECUTIVE ZERO DAYS SINCE 2002!" It doesn't look too promising for this weekend.
1/12/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Still no rain but, there was a brilliant "Sailor's Warning" on display just before sunrise this morning! After a pleasant (T in Mid-50s) afternoon yesterday, the temps fell rather quickly, reaching the mid-20s by the 2300hr. Temps rebounded into the mid-to lo-30s by the 0200hr this morning, where they currently remain. The DP, while not spectacular, has been hovering near 20F since yesterday. I wonder what's on tap for today??
1/13/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report. In spite of clear skies, gusty overnight winds helped keep the temperatures from diving-holding instead in the mid-to-upper 20s (currently @ ~24F). What did tumble however, was the dew point. From a high of ~24F in mid-PM yesterday, it fell to <10F where it stayed overnight (currently @ ~8F). It looks like this will be the story for the next week or so. We'll have to wait & see!
1/14/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Continued dry! Gusty winds overnight again helped keep temps in the mid-30s. Brief subsidence after the 0300hr allowed them to fall into the upper-20s during the 0500hr. Winds turned back on during the 0600hr and boosted the temps back into the mid-30s. Dew points still low, hovering between 10 and 20F. Looks like little, if any, change on the way!
1/15/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another cold (T~18F), dry (DP~11F), frost-free "Zero Day!"
1/16/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 More of the same! After a rather warm (T~57F) but wind-chilled afternoon, persistent light breezes helped slow the overnight cooling. Temps have fallen slowly from the lo-40s during the 0100hr to the mid-20s (currently @ ~25F). The air remains dry (DP~12F). There appears to be no immediate change in the offing.
1/17/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another cold(er), dry(er) morning. Temp @ 07:00 were ~16F & falling slowly. DP has been @ or < 10F since before midnight, currently @ ~9F. Only more of the same in sight!
1/18/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another dry day on the books! With mostly calm winds, overnight temps at our location fell a bit below our immediate surroundings reaching ~16F @ 06:00. Occasional light winds since then have brought us more into line with our neighbors. Temp @ 07:00 was ~21F. In spite of a DP hovering @ ~10F, hints of frost are visible on the cars and the eaves of the house roof. Looks like today will deliver more of the same!
1/19/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 We continue our march to the "dry spell" record books. After a delightful afternoon (T~57F) yesterday, the temps fell into the 20s by the 2100hr. Off and on light winds, especially after Midnight, kept the temps here in the mid to lo-20s. The winds became calm during the 0500hr which allowed the temps to sink below 20F. At 07:00, the temperature at our location was ~18F with a DP of ~9F. Looks like even more of the same for today!
1/20/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Happy MLK Day! We continue to be dry, with more in the offing for the next couple of days. Take heart, the Forecast Models are at it again serving up a tease for possible moisture later in the week. Let's see if Mother Nature is listening!!
1/21/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 It's true, today is "National Hug Day!!" However, that didn't help us, we're still dry. Maybe some of us will see some precipitation on Thursday--we'll see.
1/22/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another dry day/night! Clouds & occasionally gusty light winds helped keep the temp bouncing around ~20F since midnight. The dew point here has also been below 10F since midnight. Looks like wind and cold (& not much else) are on the way!
1/23/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 After a gloomy, cool (T~47F) day yesterday, clearing skies and calm winds allowed the temps here to fall below 20F by the 0500hr. Local terrain seems to have shielded us from the winds reported overnight for ABQ. Light (~3kt) & variable winds began at our location during the 0600hr, raising the temp into the mid 20s (currently ~25F). Dew point, now @~16F, has been climbing slowly since Midnight. It doesn't seem that we'll get anything out of today's weather system
1/24/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Still dry!! The current DP here is sitting @ ~6F. Clear skies and lack of wind since the 0400hr have delivered our coldest morning of the year. Temp here @ 07:00 was just below 9F!
1/25/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Still no precipitation! Clouds and occasional breezes helped keep the overnight temps up a bit. Early morning here, saw a temp of ~18F along with a DP of ~11F. Models continue to tease with the prospects for precipitation next weekend. We'll see!
1/26/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 The end of the month is in sight and we're still dry!! Under mostly clear skies, light & occasionally gusty winds probably helped keep the temps here near the 20F mark. At 07:00, at our location, it was ~17F with a DP of ~6F. We are, again, a bit cooler than our immediate surroundings.
1/27/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 After a cool (T~16F), dry (DP~7F) start to the day yesterday, the temperatures warmed rapidly, reaching ~60F by the early PM. Along with the rising AM temps came a fall in the DP from ~7F @ 07:00 to 0F @ mid day. The DP then recovered to the mid-10s during the afternoon and remains @ ~14F along with a rather warmer 28F this morning. In spite of the cloudiness, the prospects for rain/snow look pretty bleak!
1/28/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Nothing to report (again!). Looks like we're continuing our march to a new place in the record books!
1/29/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another dry day! Yesterday afternoon DP fell, reaching ~-3F during the 1700hr. The DP stayed below zero at our location until the 00hr this morning, when it rose to between 3-5F where it currently sits. Change appears to be on the way. Any bets??
1/30/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another dry day! After reaching ~54F (with a DP ~2F) yesterday afternoon, temps here fell slowly into the mid to lo-20s by the 2200hr last night. Under thin clouds and with occasional light winds, the temps stayed in the lo-20s until the 0500hr today, when they rose to the hi-20s along with a DP ~10F. Looks like nothing but winds on tap for today.
1/31/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Chinese New Year 2014 has brought us the warmest (T~35F @ 06:00) morning of the year. However, we still remain devoid of precipitation!
2/1/2014 7:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 As the winds cranked up in the early afternoon yesterday, a couple of very brief sprays of rain delivered a trace (recorded in the dust on the truck windshield). After an afternoon of gusty winds out of the WSW (complete with blowing dust), things began to calm down. Light winds and clouds overnight kept the temps in the upper-to-mid 30s. At ~39F (@ 06:00) this morning was the warmest of the year so far. DP at our location has been in the 30s & 20s for the past day. It currently sits @ ~25F. Let's see what today brings!
2/2/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Happy Groundhog Day!! To the apparent delight of the TV weather guys, ABQ has found its way into the Dry Spell record book!! Maybe this week will break the current streak.
2/3/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 So far, no break from the dries! Maybe this week will be better!
2/4/2014 7:00 AM 0.24 1.2 0.24 1.0 0.24 (08:00 update): Not only was the gauge cylinder frozen to its mount but, all four car doors were frozen shut!! (07:00): Rain/snow began falling during the 2100hr last night, delivering ~1.23" of crunchy snow. The inside and outside of the gauge were coated with ice (the cylinder was iced into its mount). The snow was very slow to melt!
2/5/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No new snow. Yesterday's accumulation is better than 90% gone! Temps have been in the upper to mid 20s overnight giving us a bit of a frosty morning. Is there more snow on the way for us today? We'll see...
2/6/2014 7:00 AM 0.10 0.5 0.10 0.5 0.10 Sorry I'm late but, the snow finished melting in time for me to leave for an early AM errand! Snowfall at our location began during the 1200hr yesterday. Snowfall rates were variable during the afternoon. Snow on bare ground seemed to melt away during periods of light snow. Activity appeared to have stopped by the 2100hr last night. This morning the snow coverage was variable--clear road, spotty on the bare ground and fairly uniform (but light) on grassy areas. However, on the board there was 0.5" of snow over a rough layer of hard ice--estimated average thickness ~1/8".
2/7/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.5 0.21 Update 07:40: Core melt results--0.21". No new snowfall. Temps yesterday were below freezing for most of the day, briefly reaching ~32F around the 1600hr. No snow remaining on bare ground (which is frozen) this morning. Approximately 40% of the exposed grass has ~0.5" remaining. This does not include areas in the shadows of north-facing walls. Core taken, will report melt results later.
2/8/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No new precipitation! There's nothing like some direct sunlight, aided by air temps near 50F, to do a bad number on residual snow. A/O 07:00 this morning, >95% of this weeks snow is gone! Clear skies and calm winds overnight have produced another frosty morning (a little cooler than our immediate surroundings). Temps here have been in the lo-20s since the 0100hr. Let's see what the next few days bring.
2/9/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No rain/snow but, another frosty morning! After a warm (T~58F) afternoon, evening temps fell slowly. Overnight high clouds and light winds helped keep temps at our location in the upper 20s until ~the 0300hr. As the clouds departed, the temps began to sad into the mid-20s reaching ~24F @ 07:00. After peaking @~33F yesterday PM, the DP has been falling slowly. It currently sits @~22F.
2/10/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 After another delightful, springlike day a cool (T~27F), frosty (but rainless/snowless) morning. There's some action in the forecast for later today & tomorrow. Let's see what it brings.
2/11/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Although the dewpoints have been in the mid-20s & 30s, there hasn't been a hint of precipitation (other than morning frosts!). Yesterday provided us with another springlike (T~65F) afternoon. Temps here fell slowly overnight, hovering near 30F this morning. It looks like nothing but more warm, dry weather for the next few days at least.
2/12/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report-not even some frost! After declining slowly from a PM high of ~55F, the temps here began bouncing up and down. From the lo-30s during the 2100hr, to the lo-40s by the 2300hr. Since midnight, the temps continued to fluctuate between the mid-to-lo 30s. @ ~05:00, the temps went into their pre-sunrise dive briefly reaching ~23F during the 0700hr.
2/13/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Oddly warm this morning! Light, occasionally gusty, winds overnight helped keep our temps near 40F. Winds died off after 06:00 and the temp sank with them. It is currently sitting @ ~32F!. No moisture in sight!!
2/14/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!! Another interesting morning (temperature-wise). After bumping at a 70F high yesterday afternoon, temps began a slow-steady decline-reaching the mid-30s by the 2300hr last night. Temps at our location remained in the mid-to-lo-30s until ~05:00 when winds suddenly increased to ~8-10kt and pushed the temps into the upper 40s! The temp here @ 07:00 was just under 48F! Looks like more warm, dry weather for today.
2/15/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 This is a bit more like a mid-Feb morning. Temp in the hi-20s with a very light frost. Yesterday afternoon topped out @~70F under cloudy skies. Unfortunately all of the clouds (and their potential moisture) went somewhere else!
2/16/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 After a brief meeting with ~70F during the 1300hr, under thin clouds, the PM temps slid back into the upper 60s. After sundown temps fell rapidly reaching the lo-40s by the 2100hr. Temps continued to fall, but more slowly reaching the upper 20s during the 0300hr. At 07:00, the temp here was 28F along with a DP in the lo-20s.
2/17/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Happy PRESIDENT'S DAY!! Another warm (T~72F) but, dry (RH~15%) & breezy afternoon yesterday. We are following it with a cool (T~33F), dry (DP~16F) start to what promises to be another rainless day!!
2/18/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Yesterday was a somewhat cooler (T~67F), but much drier day. Dew points stayed in the low single digits for much of the PM, dipping to below zero (-1F) during the 1700hr. Clear skies and mostly calm winds overnight allowed temps at our location to fall a few degrees below the immediate surroundings. The temp @ 07:00 was ~27F. Looks like more dry and breezy weather is on the way.
2/19/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 No precipitation to report-only another delightful spring-like day. After a PM high of ~71F, the temps at our location fell slowly, but steadily, reaching the mid-30s by midnight. Minimal cloud and wind since then have allowed the temp to fall further. Temp @ 07:00 was ~31F, a few degrees cooler than our immediate surroundings. Looks like winds are on the way for us.
2/20/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 After a warm (T~71F), breezy afternoon, our location settled in for a windy evening. Winds here averaged ~8-10kt with gusts of 18-20kt by the 2200hr last night. Winds then died down to the 2-3kt range leaving us with a cool (T~32F @ 07:00), dry (DP~ +5F) morning. More winds possible for today.
2/21/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Winter returned this morning. Clear skies and calm winds allowed the temperature at our location to fall considerably overnight. At 07:00, the temp here was ~16F. Yesterday was cool (T~50F), breezy and dry. The dew point here fell to ~0F by noon and crashed to about -15F during the 1700hr. It recovered slowly overnight, sitting @ +3F this morning. Help does not appear to be on the way!
2/22/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 After yet another breezy, warm (T~60F) and dry afternoon, the winds calmed and the cool air pooled at our valley location. Temps have been in the 20s since the midnight hour, falling to ~19F @ 07:00. With a DP at or above 10F since the 1600hr yesterday, there was enough "moisture" to allow the faintest hint of frost on the car roof this morning! Things may improve a bit next week. We'll see!
2/23/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Continued dry & rainless, although a bit warmer this morning. T here @ 07:00 was ~26F along with a DP of ~15F.
2/24/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 After another delightful afternoon (T~67F), temps here fell steadily, reaching the lo-30s by midnight. Clear skies and essentially calm winds overnight allowed the temps to fall further, reaching ~23F @ 07:00. We are currently 2-3 degrees below our immediate surroundings. DP fluctuated between 15 & 20F yesterday but has fallen to ~12F overnight. More nice, but dry, weather on tap for today.
2/25/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another very nice, warm (T~70F), but dry afternoon. Temps fell slowly overnight into the lo-30s to upper 20s. Breezes began during the 0400hr which stirred the air and raised the valley temps from the upper 20s back into the lo-30s. The forecast models continue to tease us with the possibility of moisture later in the week. We'll see!
2/26/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Still rainless! After a day of clouds and mid-upper level moisture streaming into our general area (it appears to have been pushed well south of us this AM), the DP is holding just above 20F. If the models aren't leading us astray, things may be looking up for this weekend. We'll see.
2/27/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 After yet another sunny & pleasant (T~65F), but dry afternoon, things may be looking up for us. We might actually see some precipitation between now and early next week! Off & on clouds, coupled with light, but occasionally gusty winds since the 0300hr have helped keep the temps from falling below the lo-30s. At 07:00, the temp here was ~34F with a DP of ~19F. Let's dump the dust out of our rain gauges & keep our fingers crossed!!
2/28/2014 7:00 AM T 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 A prelude? Last evening, during the late 1900hr, we heard the unmistakable sound of rainfall on the skylights. It didn't last very long (~10 sec) but, it delivered a clear trace of rain. Let's see what the next party brings!
3/1/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 The last day of February left us with another dry rain gauge. Total for the month @ our location was 0.25". Essentially calm winds overnight have allowed the temps here to fall slowly into the 30s since the 00hr. At 07:00, the temp was ~31F with a DP of ~23F. By all accounts, moisture is on the way.
3/2/2014 7:00 AM 0.05 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 After a day of threatening skies and promising radar (but only an afternoon trace), we finally received a light shower around midnight. We didn't get as much as other areas of the state but, it's better than nothing!

Overnight, the temps bounced between the lo-40s and mid-30s, while the DP remained <20F. Looks like some weather unrest is headed our way for the next couple of days. Let's see if we can wring some useful moisture out of it!
3/12/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Another cool (T~62F @ ~13:00), dry day. The DP has been near or below 10F since mid-day yesterday.
