The moisture pouring into the region is typical of the start of monsoon season here in the desert Southwest. We generally get our first rains around July 4th. Many people not from the region often laugh about "monsoon season," but a monsoon is a shift in the prevailing wind. Instead of flowing from west to east, the wind flow begins pushing in from south to north, from the moisture-laden area of the Gulf of Mexico.
