Apparently I picked just the right time to be flying home from my Legoland vacation this week.
Also Las Vegas. There’s a low pressure off the SF Bay area, and a high pressure around Texas and stretching into New Mexico, and they are expecting the storm to slip between them from Baja into Southern California and then NE into Nevada. Arizona will probably get wind and rain as well.
If it is, it’s pretty accurate. The New York Times also quotes Ms. Sullivan but I don’t know if it hits a paywall or not.
But the wrong week to stop sniffing Kragl.
I don’t think so. ChatGPT’s writing is soulless but grammatically fine. That article is very poorly written.
ETA: Looking closer, it’s an Indian website and is also putting out a shitload of content on a wide breadth of topics, all by the same user. I’m calling this at “stolen content from all over the web, run through automated translators and posted in English.”
My co-worker and I - we’re in Tucson - have been hoping mightily this hits us. But not on my way to or from work on Sunday.
Waves from Cordes junction area. Fingers crossed that you get all the rain you want just when you want it.
Tucson has some amazing storms, I used to spend many a happy hour watching them.
That makes sense. I didn’t look closely enough. I’ve been seeing a lot of videos on YouTube lately where the audio narration is flat monotone with slightly off syntax. I thought this might be similar. I guess it is.
A. Good. The entire Southwest can use the water.
B. Also good that it is hitting this weekend instead of next. That weekend I’ll be in Vegas for a B-52’s concert.
New idiom to me, thanks! Cute!
We got a lovely long rain last night with much thunder and lightening before it headed south. Here’s hoping it visits you today!
Hurricane Hilary Public Advisory?
Hilary is now a category 4 storm. Wow, not only the first hurricane to hit Ca in 84 years, but it’s a big one too.
By the time it reaches California, it’s still projected to hit as a tropical depression or maybe as a tropical storm, so winds are less of a threat for the US side of the border but Baja is going to get slammed.
But the rain threat is real. There’s going to be some bad flooding in those deserts, hopefully where there aren’t too many people.
Here’s the Eyewall summary from last night
Yeah, I would expect some pretty heavy flash flooding throughout. Which means there’s almost guaranteed at least one person killed as they try to drive through it.
Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I’ve often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California, but girl, don’t they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours
Thanks Great_Antibob for the link. Yeah, the Palms Springs area isn’t just wealthy folks, there’s a lot of people running the tills and trimming the hedges and their homes could be at risk.
My sister lives in San Diego. If she was in flooding danger, we’d have bigger problems (she lives on a hilltop) but there could certainly be plenty of other issues.
I’m hearing that it should significantly decrease in intensity as it travels north and hits colder water.
BTW, typhoons are in the Pacific Ocean west of the International Dateline, and cyclones strike in the Indian Ocean. Those storms also have their own separate naming system.
When the hilltop slides down the side of the hill due to heavy rainfall taking all the hilltop houses with it, that sure seems like a flooding casualty to me.
Hoping that doesn’t happen to your sister. But it will happen to somebody for sure.
I was watchin’ the weather today, and they plotted an estimated track. It seemed to terminate in my back yard.
Could be an interesting next few days. Make sure I park the cars on the high spots of my yard. Lakes form pretty quick.
MHO: That too is unlikely.
