The wider storm

As an area of high pressure remained to the east of New Mexico, an abundant amount of moisture also stayed in place across the desert southwest on July 27, 2022. This led to yet another very active monsoon day across much of northern and central New Mexico. Thunderstorms developed early in the day and wasted no time in impacted the Calf Canyon burn scar. The northern portion of the burn scar was hit hard again, especially near Gascon and Canoncito Creek. Meanwhile, heavy rain also caused flash flooding in Nambe.

Began near Pojoaque (35.8979, -106.0556).
