It may be my inner Irving P. Krick coming out (inside reference if you haven't seen the movie "Pressure"), but there seems to be a distinct pattern of wetter than avg monsoon seasons in El Paso in those years that are transitioning into an El Nino at/before the start of summer. Bodes well for rain.
El Paso Airport picked up more than 1.2 inches of rain tonight between 7:10 PM and 7:40 PM. That means El Paso got more rain in half an hour tonight than it had in the past four and a half months. #txwx
Kilauea webcam, 12:35 PM. The vortex made a sudden right turn and is now approaching the stream of red molten lava flowing away from the fountain. (The vortex dissipated when it crossed the lava stream and I could see no evidence of it again. End of story. That was fun tracking it.)
