El Ni
Long analysis of the latest data on Daniel Swain’s blog today. Short version; this winter the whole Pacific Coast will be warmer than average, it’ll be dry and warm in the Pacific Northwest, we’ll have more rain but not a lot of snow in California.
this paints a picture of just how much warmer than normal the eastern and NE Pacific is

Hi All,
El Ni
^ And set a new record.
[quote][size=10pt]For the first time on record, two major hurricanes
Now if you want to see something totally bizarre, check out the computer models for Hurricane Ignacio. I’ve never seen anything like this before. The folks in Alaska and BC might want to keep an eye on this one.

Next two years hottest, says Met Office
Some Baby!
I also see that the snow pack on the Seirra Nevada was the lowest on record
Apparently a 500 year low but I’m not sure who was recording it in 1515 :lol:
But:
"The researchers noted that while California
we have been feeling the effects of El NIno here for the last 6 weeks now 
the ocean temperature index is now off the scale!

We had a nice warm November attributed to El Nino. Now it is snowing , a wet heavy kind. Eh… rats

While we do get tornados in FL, they are mostly associated with hurricanes and tend to be weak and short lived. It is rare to have any in the winter. Last week, over 8 days, we had storms on 3 different days that produced EF2 tornadoes. These strong storms have been directly attributed to El Nino where the Pacific jet stream is strong, crossing Mexico/Texas, going over the Gulf and slamming central FL with strong storms. A normal Dec. and Jan has about 1.5" of rain each month. Dec. '15 we had 5.6" of rain and have already had 7.5" of rain this month.

EL Nino been hit and miss here
Likely due to not ocean temperatures still above normal around
Australia contributing to monsoons lows there.
Cyclone activity has been further east which is typical of el nino
I see 2015 smashed global temperatures
( not here though…el nino brings us cooler winds)
