Re: [californiadisasters] Monsoonal flow and TS Don

TS Don is forecast to die over West Texas, maybe touch NM. Where it might
affect CA is as an increase of force in the monsoonal flow. Among other
things, this could block the hot/dry Highs that should be heading our way,
as has been happening much of the last week or two.

Whether the monsoon stuff actually gets into the LA Basin (it did one day a
few weeks ago), we'll still be affected by it.

For my location in the basin, four days ago the forecast high for Friday was
96F. This morning it was forecast for 90. As of 17:30, actual high was 78.
This is at least partially a result of the monsoonal flow's effect on the
normal weather patterns.

We could normally expect to be baking under a High for four or five days at
a time, this time of year. Just isn't happening--yet. (I'm not complaining!)

This monsoonal moisture is going to be mostly in the Antelope Valley and
mountains of LaCo. No rain or T-storm activity in the Greater LA Basin,
which means more sun and hot/humid temperatures for me. Most of the rain and
wet season comes after December for us here in SoCal. I think most of TS Don
will be dead by the time it gets here.

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.
