The so-called “Pineapple Express,” southern segment, is thrusting a mass of saturated air from the south Pacific via the sea of Cortez right up through the state of Arizona. We’re getting up to an inch from this storm which has been with us since early last eventing. It is forecast to remain tomorrow with a chance of more showers and thunderstorms throughout the weekend.
The green and yellow blob moving through the state in a northbound flow, has us in its direct path. Not to worry, though, we’re high and dry on our little casita in the desert. Monday is forecast to be our usual mild winter conditions of sunny and not-too-cool. The rest of Thanksgiving week is forecast the same.
That’s probably what’s left of what went through here over the last couple of days.
Sure enough – the low was centered over the California desert with the flow coming up from the south over the Gulf of California.
We all needed the rain. It is Saturday morning and still overcast and drizzling. Should dry up by Monday.
My Davis weather station shows .31″ for the month, and .55″ since July.
It’s been so dry since I moved in here with Dorothy that the yard has ‘slumped’ in places!
