THE TIMING ISN'T GOOD, WITH THE STATE FAIR GETTING UNDERWAY ON WEDNESDAY, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A RETURN TO THE MONSOON SEASON THIS WEEK IN NEW MEXICO. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGIST TODD SHOEMAKE SAYS SOME SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL WILL BE HEADING OUR WAY. HE SAYS THIS EVENT SEEMS TO BE EXPANDING OVER TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, AND MOST OF THE STATE COULD GET 3-QUARTERS TO AN INCH OF RAIN OVER THOSE THREE DAYS.
WHILE IT'S BEEN A DECENT MONSOON SEASON, ALBUQUERQUE'S OFFICIAL RAINFALL TOTAL FOR THE YEAR IS STILL TWO AND-A-HALF INCHES BELOW NORMAL.
