The Wyoming upper-air soundings site shows the following values
for the total precipitable water-vapor working south and east from
Flagstaff for the 0h UT balloon soundings this evening:
Flagstaff 2.6mm (pretty dry)
Tucson 11.5mm
El Paso 21.4mm
Midland/Odessa 31.3mm (north of TSP)
Del Rio TX 36.0mm
Key West 45.5mm
San Juan 48.8mm
...so west Texas is about 3/4 the way to "tropical" tonight. Could be
worse, even from there: the midnight sounding in Douala, Cameroon
showed surface temperature of 26C with total water-vapor of 67mm.
(When it gets to about 17-18mm in summer in Flagstaff, it means
it's raining.)
Further numbers for the curious are at:
