T-Storms & Rainfall Totals Wednesday 7-25-2012.
Blog updated at 8:58 AM MDT. T-Storms formed fairly quickly late yesterday afternoon east and southeast of Carlsbad. They eventually very slowly moved off to the southeast. The long blue line is caused when the radar beam interacts with the setting sun. Radar estimates indicate the heaviest rains fell east and southeast of Carlsbad yesterday evening. Scattered T-Storms formed over the Sacramento Mtn's yesterday and persisted well into the night. Some produced locally heavy rainfall. The heaviest totals estimated by the El Paso and Holloman AFB Doppler radars fell between Sacramento and Timberon. Radar estimated around 2" of rain fell in 24-hours.
