Weather Pattern May Be Changing

For the last month, I've been looking for a change in the large-scale weather pattern, particularly as regards precipitation in the Southwest. I've been looking in vain. It has to come eventually, though, just because of the progress of the seasons. Today, is the first sign of a change. A cutoff low will form NW of Kauai this week, eventually tap into the ITCZ moisture, and start coming towards Texas. But it's still two weeks off, or so, and so the change is still over the horizon.
