There is a huge number of Highs filling western USA from the coast to
the Continental Divide, the watershed of North America. Looks like we
could be in for a spell of Mag 6's.

They will have to be quick though as the next spell (on the 24th) is a
wet one. And that could keep the high pressure areas in situ. (IIRC
California (for one western state) has a dry spell when we have wet-
uns.)

We shall see, no?

Meanwhile, we had a little drizzle this afternoon.

So there.
