What difference, at this point, does it make?
We have a rare west coast hurricane fixing to shoot up the Baja Gulf, straight up the Colorado River channel and up over Nevada and eastern Oregon. Gonna drop a lot of valuable precipitation onto the Sierra Nevadas, the Hualapais, the Kaibab Plateau, the Shoshones, and the Southern Cascade range if it actually holds to projected tracks, but I'm skeptical it will remain on a due north track and will veer more to the east, over Phoenix and Flagstaff and Salt Lake City.
Suppose we'll hear more whinging from California? Their reservoirs got filled to capacity from this winter's snowmelt, but I'm sure they can come up with some reason to complain about rain in the Southwest.

I went to a public hearing put on by the AZ DOT last night about a rural byway that's been shut down for 4 years due to fire and storm damage in 2019 (SR88 between Apache Junction and Roosevelt Lake). One take-away pertinent to this thread that I heard from one attendee was that there's a bill in Congress (HR 1607) aiming to increase the capacity of the reservoirs on the Salt River system. Roosevelt Lake and Dam was certified a while back to be able to fill over 100% capacity, and we hit peak capacity this year. Adding a few more tens of thousands of acre-feet to the system can't hurt.

Of course ADOT wants $100+ million from the feds to pave what is a beloved dirt road, add facilities that no one wants, and to drag the whole thing out over 5-10 years so that the businesses affected by the area closure can be driven to close and sold at firesale prices to people connected to the construction project, to be reopened when the road is reopened. Everyone at the meeting was livid at ADOT for leaving it closed this long under the guise of vegetation regrowth to stabilize hillsides; it should have been opened to at least allow sub-50-inch width vehicles to traverse as a "motorized trail."
When pressed, they admitted that the road could be reopened for about $3.7 million, but they don't want to do that. They also were pressed for maintenance records for drainages on the road for 2017/2018/2019, and admitted the funds were diverted to other projects elsewhere in the State. Many boos ensued.
