For purely selfish reasons I'd like to see it go more South and perhaps get picked up in the moisture flow coming into the SouthWestern states.. We REALLY need rain.
Will it peter out in the Mountains of Mexico or is there a chance some of this momentum could make it into the Gulf of California???? I know more questions than answers.
My Mom just called. Her step granddaughter is stuck in Cancun. She waited just a little bit too long to try to leave.
Most of the models seem to indicate that some moisture from Emily should at least enhance your possibilities of storminess in about 5-6 days. If the storm does go into Mexico, and continue west... she will be forced across quite mountainous terrain, so the possibility of reformating off Baja would be very slim.
I think your best shot would be if she comes in further north, as the high pressure over the Rockies will undoubtedly keep her on a westerly track after landfall for some time.
I have heard the stories of the lack of Monsoon thus far in that region, and the heat... well, I don't miss that part of the desert SW. ;-)
