WE’VE JUST ABOUT SEEN THE END OF THOSE AFTERNOON MONSOON THUNDERSTORMS FOR ANOTHER YEAR. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGIST RANDALL HERGERT SAYS DRIER, WESTERLY WINDS ARE NOW SETTING UP…AND THAT TYPICALLY SIGNALS THE END OF MONSOON SEASON.
SO, WHAT KIND OF YEAR WAS IT? HERGERT SAYS MORE PLACES MISSED OUT ON A AVERAGE SEASON OF RAINFALL THIS SUMMER. HERGERT SAYS, IN ALBUQUERQUE, WE WERE MORE THAN AN INCH BELOW NORMAL.
HE SAYS ALTHOUGH WE’RE SEEING THE END OF THE MONSOON PATTERN, A PACIFIC SYSTEM COULD BRING US RAIN THIS WEEKEND.
