I was just wondering how bad the smoke is in Santa Fe now. I need to make a trip down there to do some landscaping and I want to make sure its not going to be difficult to do work outside.
Thanks all. That is kind of what I figured. Not much news about the NM fires here in Colorado, and SF online paper was showing people driving around with masks on! (Probably only one guy in the whole town doing that).
I walked around the downtown area today. Seemed business as usual. I saw the one guy with the mask. It's not smoke filled and how much you notice depends on which way the wind is blowing. Monday seemed the worst with some ash on my car and the ground. My allergies are bothering me but nothing drastic. The sky is looking more like the east coast.
My husband is in Santa Fe now, working on the landscaping and I am here at our house in Colorado. I think we have more smoke HERE in Colorado from the Los Conchas fire than Santa Fe has!

Thunderstorms...some with downpours and hail...will continue through the afternoon. Thunderstorms over the Jemez Mountains in northern Sandoval County will drift southward across State Road 4 toward Ponderosa...Jemez Springs...and Tent Rocks National Monument. Thunderstorms over eastern Rio Arriba County near Tierra Amarilla and Tres Piedras will drift south toward ghost ranch and El Rito...and across highways 84 and 285. Expect lightning and downpours with these thunderstorms...along with some hail and locally gusty winds. Downpours may fill arroyos and ditches and block low water crossings...with debris flows possible from the Las Conchas fire burn scar. Elsewhere...expect occasional lightning and brief rainfall from developing thunderstorms.

Thanks Rich. We won't be there until August. A thunderstorm sure would be nice right now. No rain in sight here in Texas.
The thing to watch for in August will be flash floods. There has been a LOT of burnout happening in the canyons that lead from the Valles Caldera, some of which drain down toward Abiquiu. Stay out of the arroyos...
