[californiadisasters] Monsoonal flow and TS Don

Weather is going to be very interesting in SoCal, and probably throughout
the state over the next few days. While this NWS notice speaks of monsoonal
moisture, in fact, Tropical Storm Don is moving into the Texas coast even as
I write this (Fri 13:55), and is forecast to track WNW across Texas and even
into NM.

This is rare! While TS Don can reasonably be expected to not strengthen as
it moves over land, and in fact can be expected to weaken, it is very
unusual for a TS to move way into Texas. (My source tells me they rarely
reach as far as San Antonio.)

The effect of this on CA can be expected to be sort of monsoonal flow "on
steroids".

Bears watching.
