That is an incredible vortex.

It is at a maximum. The vortex doesn't even fit into the GOES East satellite.

The majority of the Intertropical Convergence Zone is disturbed of its water vapor. A Bermuda High is really noticeable. 

That high is so intense it is creating a street of vortexes south of the water vapor trail. That stubborn high west of California is still there, but, water vapor is filling in behind it.

 The wind map is fascinating. The vortex winds completely disturb the air mass under it dividing wind direction between north and south.
 





That is one powerful vortex. (click here) It is dictating the entire air distribution over the country. The air direction is west over the Rockies. It is bring some water vapor with it.
