Well, This is a Persistent Circulation

Last week, a tropical circulation started along the Texas coast. It never reached Tropical Depression status, and weakened as it came inland. So, story over, right? No, it seems. The circulation continued slowly spinning and spinning, as it made its way west across Texas and scraped the southern boundary of New Mexico. Currently it's southwest of El Paso, and looks likely to park itself over northern Chihuahua for a little bit. Then it will move again - picking up strength as it moves northeast across New Mexico on Saturday, and reaching Oklahoma on Sunday, where it looks like it will cause real havoc. Because that's what weather systems do when they reach Oklahoma - cause real havoc. Beware tropical circulations, even if they never become hurricanes!
