Albuquerque had consistent and overall above average dew points almost all monsoon season. Despite that, we ended up 1.41" below average with 3.07" of rain this year. The 32nd driest monsoon on record of 134 years. It was also the 5th warmest.

Another fun chase on the CO High Plains today. This high precipitation beast was fairly fast-moving for most of the afternoon. Produced what appeared to be a brief gustnado around 4:37 pm (pic 1). Tried to wrap up around 5:10-5:20 pm with ground-scraping scud (pic 4) before cold pools merged. #cowx

Great day for structure. Followed these storms for about 5 hours today from the Palmer Divide to Haswell, CO. Second storm gave it a good try at producing for about 10-15 minutes around 5:30 pm. #cowx

A huge blow was dealt to hurricane forecasters this week as a critical tool was abruptly terminated by the Department of Defense and NOAA. The immediate discontinuation of data from three weather satellites will severely impact hurricane forecasts this season and beyond. More ⬇️
