When you showed the satellite photo of the west coast weather to show the low which may affect our weather in  a few days there was a big dark spot over Baja.

It looked like the eye of a hurricane; but there was no hurricane surrounding it.

What is it???

That's the dry air. You saw what is called a "water vapor" image...where it highlights wet and dry areas in the middle atmosphere. We were showing the upper level storm in the southwest rotating around...the one that will likley get us wet later this week!

Ah, very interesting. It is probably more common than we would think and just never gets noticed. I guess it is just the fact that it was near to the low pressure system you were pointing out at the time made it stand out.
Thank you for the answer.

Good question; good answer!

Off topic: Pete, did you ever get involved with the AOL Help Rooms?? The Community Leader program? I worked there for five years.

I have been a member of online communities for some years; most notably I was a long time helper giveing free computer problem solving help on the TechTV Call For Help boards; I continue to do so on several forums. My main hobby beyond computer help is cooking. Since my wife (a diabetic) had a heart attack and triple bypass it has become my objective to develop a healthy menu and lifestyle for us both and I think I have succeeded.
