Figure-Eight

NOGAPS is finally registering the coming influx of moisture into Arizona and the Great Basin. I was getting scared! Thought I had lost my touch!

Emily's center of circulation, such as it is, is now in extreme south Chihuahua state. The storm has crashed headlong into the Sierra Madre and there's just a remnant of circulation remaining.

Tonight is disappointing, however. Right now, Emily is sucking moisture OUT of southern Arizona - northerly flow in advance of the storm.

But tomorrow! The cogs will work right for once: a Figure-8 air flow to get moisture from central Mexico into the Great Basin tomorrow!
