North and West Hemisphere
To the left is a very large white cloud. That is the vortex headed this way from the West Pacific. The condensing water vapor in the Northwest literally transferred to the south central region of the USA. The turbulence from south of McAllen Texas to the Great Lakes isn't abating exactly. However, the humidity is being swept up by the East's offshore vortex and that may bring an end to that weather pattern which caused tornadoes.
