The threat of heavy rain and flooding is increasing in parts of the Desert Southwest, as moisture from Odile surges northward.
Hurricane Odile tied for the strongest hurricane of record to landfall in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur late Sunday night. Odile continues to weaken as it tracks to the north-northeast.
Are we looking at a flooding repeat in the Desert Southwest, similar to what happened when moisture from Norbert and Dolly combined?
Typical of tropical cyclones tracking near or over the Baja peninsula, a pump of deep tropical moisture on the eastern flank of Odile's circulation is surging into the Desert Southwest, increasing the potential of heavy rainfall and flash flooding much of this work week.
