| Episode Narrative |
Widespread showers and thunderstorms developed on the 19th in response to a weak upper level low tracking across northern New Mexico. High precipitable water values and slow storm motions resulted in high rainfall amounts in short periods of time. Southern portions of Santa Fe received the brunt of flooding issues. |
