Regarding Dean

Deborah in Phoenix asks:

Do you think he'll come our way????

I reply:

It's been clear for several days now that a lot of the moisture would come your way, by Sunday. The models have been equivocal about whether the storm would reorganize, however, and, if so, whether it would head into the Gulf of California, or venture west into the open Pacific, west of the southern tip of Baja. It would be cool if it reorganizes - only the most-powerful of powerful storms can punch their way across the Mexican Highlands. It would be even cooler if it reorganized and followed Nora's path into Yuma, but that's like hitting a hummingbird at fifty paces with a rubber band.

We'll see!
