I took the trash out this morning and was surprised how juicy it was out there. It kinda felt like Florida in January. Monsoonish?
I could argue that this is monsoonal flow from the high pressure to our east. The clouds, humidity, and light rain this morning are remnants of a large thunderstorm complex that formed in Mexico yesterday and drifted northward in a southwest flow.
These storms are common during the monsoon season in Mexico and are known as Mesoscale Convective Complexes. Like most weather in the summer, models struggle with how to handle them.
It looks like a mixed bag this week, with afternoon high elevation showers likely every day. The best chance for widespread moisture will be today and Wednesday.
Here is the model’s shower coverage for this afternoon.
We’ll see.
