An abundant amount of moisture in the atmosphere led to another very active monsoon day for northern and central New Mexico on July 29, 2022. Thunderstorms developed early in the day across the high terrain areas before becoming more widespread as the day progressed. Heavy rain was common with these thunderstorms, especially on the Calf Canyon burn scar which reported more burn scar flash flooding and debris flow. The Gallup area also received heavy rainfall which forced the closure of a few area roadways. Meanwhile, a few thunderstorms across the eastern plains briefly turned strong to severe which prompted a few Severe Thunderstorm Warnings. One thunderstorm near Logan looked like it was producing baseball size hail according to radar, but a trained spotter only reported quarter size hail.
