The good news was that our weather warning systems worked very well; the lightning warnings, the precipitation sensor, and even the El Paso Nexrad were all up, enabling us to monitor the rain as it hung around for hours. First half was originally scheduled for NM05, but was given to NM07 by an official swap request. An unofficial offer was made to give open but non-photometric time to UW03, but this turned out to be a moot point.
