El Nino may bring good news...

[Anonymous]

As a amateur student of meteorology I have been reading about the El Nino that is currently developing...

This forecaster is predicting the El Nino to be stronger than normal- and seeing a similarity in pattern to the 1956- 1958 era...
Which if it follows that moisture pattern means good news for much of the country- especially California...

Not sure if I like his last sentence:

We'll see what happens, but at the very least I expect April and May to be a lot wilder than March…

I thought the ElNino was to arrive late summer forcing harvest problems, and wet winter

That is what our local National Weather Service Head Meteorologist says too...
But this guy out of Colorado says its already here and strengthening- which fits with some others I read that say it is coming on faster and stronger than originally expected...
I guess the months ahead will tell...
