Episode Narrative A very moist southerly flow was in place over the area. The atmospheric moisture content was almost twice the normal value for early July. The flow was such that thunderstorm movement was slow, subjecting locations to very heavy rainfall for long periods of time. Occasional wet microbursts were also observed.
Event Narrative New Mexico Highway 27 was washed south of Hillsboro, NM. It affected a 10 foot stretch of the road, covering a half lane with a 6 foot drop off.
