FOLLOWING TUESDAY’S HEAVY DOWNPOURS IN ALBUQUERQUE, THE CITY HAS NOW OFFICIALLY GOTTEN JUST ABOUT EXACTLY 9-INCHES OF RAIN FOR THE YEAR. THAT’S ALMOST TWO INCHES ABOVE NORMAL.
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGIST JASON FRAZIER SAYS THE RAIN WAS BADLY NEEDED…BECAUSE WE HADN’T GOTTEN MUCH SINCE EARLY IN THE MONSOON SEASON. ALBUQUERQUE’S OFFICIAL RAINFALL TOTAL FOR TUESDAY WAS A LITTLE OVER ONE INCH…BUT SOME PARTS OF TOWN GOT CLOSE TO TWO INCHES.
