Cover Story: Tropical Cyclone (TC) Hilary’s (2023) remnant passage over the southwestern United States (U.S.) along with the precursor mesoscale convective system (MCS) structures associated with mid-level jetogenesis represented a significant regional event. Over the 24 hours prior to Hilary’s remnant passage, portions of southern California and Nevada received >30% of their average annual precipitation. The complex interactions between the lower troposphere, the incoming cloud shield effect of Hilary, and the arid region of the southwestern U.S. Great Basin reveal unique environmental conditions conducive to mid-level jetogenesis and MCS formation >1000 km away from Hilary’s center of circulation. Three sensitivity experiments are employed to determine the effects of surface heat and moisture fluxes along with complex topography. View this paper
