restless tropics
Apart from some recent rain in the Los Cabos area, there hasn't been much to talk about with regard to tropical weather in the Eastern Pacific.
Looking at this morning's radar, that could change soon...

Luckily the storms so far have all stayed off shore….
Weird weather this year.
Woke!
Hands off!

Evidently a high pressure dome in the Eastern Pacific has steered tropical activity to the west, as evidenced by the storms in Hawaii. It seems the
current red blobs will meet the same fate, but it's still early in the Pacific hurricane season.

Looks that way. Windy.com shows a storm off of Acapulco now building to a hurricane, but it's heading west without a northerly component...today.

The rotation of the high pressure system over the four corners area is bringing moisture from those remnant disturbances to central California.
Tonight's lunar eclipse is likely to be obscured by clouds, with a chance of rain by Friday in the central Sierras.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

The storm now has a name - Karina. It's forecast to steer clear of Baja, but will still have an impact on weather in the form of rain and rip
currents.

Ever notice how things start getting "interesting" when we get up above the "K" names?
I have the feeling that this could be a season for the books.
But then, as my grandpappy mighta said*,
"Son, the only folks who predict the weather around here are God and idiots."
*but he never did. That I can recall, anyhow. 
"I can normally tell how intelligent a man is, by how stupid he thinks I
am."
"...they were careful of their demeanor that they not be thought to have opinions on what they heard for like most men skilled at their work they
were scornful of any least suggestion of knowing anything not learned at first hand."

Is Windy making faces at us?
Here is what I saw looking a week out from now; https://www.windy.com/?2026-09-05-17,17.891,-123.451,5

The eyes of Karina and Lowell are upon us! Fortunately it looks like neither is likely to visit Baja.
