An upper level disturbance pushed southeast across northern New Mexico and interacted with a stationary frontal boundary in the Rio Grande Valley.  The combination of abundant moisture and instability and northwest flow aloft produced repeated rounds of heavy rainfall across areas in northern as well as central portions of the state including the Las Conchas burn scar and the Albuquerque Metro Area. Rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches were reported with these storms. Flooding initially occurred in north-central NM during the afternoon and evening hours before training cells developed in northern Bernalillo County during the overnight hours. The Interstate 25 corridor around Bernalillo into north Albuquerque was one of the hardest hit. Widespread flooding was reported in Bernalillo due to the heavy rainfall and a breached acequia. Up to 5 feet of water was reported in one home in Bernalillo.  Frequent cloud to ground lightning strikes created numerous power outages across Santa Fe with nearly 30,000 customers out in Albuquerque. Lightning was reported to have hit Sandia Casino in northeast Albuquerque shortly after midnight.
