Life giving rains will transform the desert & make it bloom.

Local Rainfall Storm Totals.
(As of 8 AM MDT This Morning.)

Good morning everyone. The heaviest most widespread rainfall for most of the local area in two years has ended for now across SE NM. The upper-level storm that helped produce our rain is moving east away from the area. Yet another upper-level storm will approach the area by the weekend, along with yet another cold front. Our best chances for more rain look to be Saturday night into Monday.

Here is a listing as of 8 AM this morning of some of the available rainfall totals for this week. We have a long way to go before we end the historic two year drought. Overall SE NM was running about 15" below normal in rainfall over just about the past two years, before this weeks rains, some spots were drier and some a little wetter. But thankfully this weeks rains are a start with more to come this weekend.
