A lone thunderstorm dumped over a foot of hail in the town of Santa Rosa, N.M. Wednesday evening, leaving a surreal sight the day before the Fourth of July. A Frozen Mess, in NM?A Frozen Mess, in NM? Science Behind Hail FormationScience Behind Hail Formation See the damage debris or hail can doSee the damage debris or hail can do According to the National Weather Service in Albuquerque, hail up to golfball size pelted the city around 6:00 p.m. MDT. Skylights were damaged and a roof was partially collapsed in the city of approximately 2,800 residents, about 105 miles east of Albuquerque, according to a report from the Albuquerque Journal. As bizarre as this sounds, accumulating hail is not uncommon in the High Plains. Northeast New Mexico sits in what meteorologists call "Hail Alley", a swath from southeast Wyoming and northeast Colorado to northeast New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle, where large hail falls on average at least three days a year. This is due, in part, due to higher elevation. The less depth of warm air for a hailstone to fall through, the greater the chance of it reaching the ground before melting. Santa Rosa, N.M. lies at 4,616 feet above sea level.
