topography. Some SW you get is actually E in origine, or
even NE. Cold dense air comes around the bottom of the
Sangres, and then flows northward in the canyon. </font></div>

<p>Hereya go! the highway you see (NM502) cross E/W at the river
(otowi bridge) is just south of Buckman Mesa (6000' crown,
opposite 6000' White Rock Canyon area) above 5500' riverbed. My
home is between the arroyo just north (100m) of 502 which is fed
by what you see as 3 (dry) tributaries. The pueblo (village) is
about 1 mile NE of that location, just off the map thumbnail, the
solid blue ine being acequias fed from the pojoaque river and the
rio grande itself. </p>
<p>The next two arroyos NE of us feed to the RG not the Pojo which
does not affect our surface but likely recharges our (very
shallow) aquifer.... this all relevant to the water project
trying to feed everything from San Ildefonso to Nambe to Tesuque
from these infiltration wells "under" the RG with only a little
input from other deep wells up stream in the Pojoaque basin. The
ugliness of it includes that the water (rights) for much of this
is water pumped over the continental divide near Chama from the
San Juan tributary to the Colorado. John Wesley Powel is rolling
over in his poorly adapted wooden rowboats...<br>
</p>
<p>I do (anecdotally) remember/believe that this time of year, our
weather is alternatively coming up from the gulf and from the west
coast and the hot-dry we often experience through June (or lately
longer) is a face-off between the two sources of energy/moisture
which breaks (eventually, usually) to give us our monsoons
entirely from the Gulf of MexiAmericaTrumpCo).<br>

<div>For comparison with abq, look at this sounding from the big
bend area. That whole area where the blue line is to the
right of the red line is CAPE , energy available for
convection. I haven't looked at the forecast yet, but I guess
I am just as happy I am not in STX this afternoon. If you
look at the wind vanes, there seems to be ample directional
and velocity sheer. <br>

<div>so, as the Chief Weather Nerd on the list, I thought
I ought to be able to say something about this
morning's hail storm. I can't really. I can regale you
with this morning;'s skew-T diagram from ABQ which would
tell us something if we understood it. <br>

<div>Notice that there is some CAPE and that and that most
of it is above the freezing level. I send this along in
the hope that I will entrap others in guessing what
these things mean. Notice that the the airmass in the
top half of the atmosphere seems quite different with
strong sw winds, low dewpoints, and a cap. <br>

Here is a surface map for this morning:</div>
