Deborah Asks The Question That Troubles All Arizonans

Deborah asks:
Where'd our monsoons go?
The answer is sobering.

The monsoon is completely - and I mean completely - shut down. As long as these slow-moving lows keep parking themselves off the West Coast (and there's no sign they'll stop - it's a winter-type pattern) the monsoon can't get started. By the time the pattern finally stops - if it stops - it'll be autumn.

So, this year will be the year without a monsoon. New Mexico has scraped by because of smaller, disorganized thunderstorms, but for Arizona it means disaster.
