so, as the Chief Weather Nerd on the list, I thought I ought to be able to say something about this morning's hail storm. I can't really.
I live north of Santa Fe, at the point were the Rio Grande cuts through the lava fields from the Jemez thus also becoming a bit of a wind-funnel and a locally low-altitude (5400ft just miles from the 6500-7500 foot mesas of White Rock and Los Alamos) cold-air drainage.
We had heavy hail at 1AM.... I don't know that I've ever experienced much hail at all outside the daylight hours, I always told myself the story that the conditions that lead to hail required ground-temperature based thermals?
inquiring minds want to know.
