Weather report

Another long power outage last night that didn't
seem to be related to anything local. Does anyone
know what the problem was??

We got a miserly .10/in. of rain last night and it looks like we won't get much (if any) more today. This is what's happening, according to
the latest NOAA Weather Discussion:


THE AREA BETWEEN 92W AND 107W (we're at 105W) IS AN AREA OF LOW-LEVEL SOUTHWESTERLY MONSOONAL FLOW WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF TROPICAL MOISTURE THAT IS BEING PULLED ACROSS SOUTHERN MEXICO INTO THE CIRCULATION ASSOCIATED WITH HURRICANE ALEX. THE AREA IS COVERED WITH MAINLY MULTI-LAYERED CLOUDINESS AND POCKETS OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTMS MOSTLY LOCATED IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE ITCZ AXIS.

LONG-PERIOD SWELLS FROM THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE AREA N OF 10N E OF 110W WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF CROSS-EQUATORIAL LONG-PERIOD SWELLS ARRIVING OVER THE SW WATERS BY LATE THURSDAY AND SPREADING NORTH AND EASTWARD THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY THAT WILL BUILD SEAS TO 12 FT.


This satellite shot from NOAA's Graphical Outlook shows perfectly how the circulation from Alex is drawing in moisture from the Pacific:
