This could be a blessing
R2B, you're right. The last couple days the system looked like it was getting killed with all the dry air we had. Even here we had dewpoint down to 32 a couple nights ago. As of today those dewpoints are back up to 65-70. If anything that should slow the rate of evaporation from the lake - the dam operator said evap had been an issue with the very dry air. On the water-vapor satellite pic it looked like the tropical system wasn't getting as much competition from dry air anymore.
And if this one doesn't bring too much moisture, it does appear the ocean's starting to bubble and boil - this extremely low lake level could end up being a big blessing sometime this fall.
