EL NIÑO UPDATE

An El Niño watch has been issued. What does that mean? Not much for now. But it is worth noting that a switch from La Niña to neutral is underway (La Nina has been in place 5 out of the last 6 winters). By the summer, we will make the switch to El Niño. Any affects to the pattern would likely hold off until winter. Could this mean more rain for us? Yes, but it’s not a guarantee. El Niño years typically bring a more active pattern.
