El Nino Report for Winter 2015.

Hello,

Below is the Spring Climate Prediction report:  http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/enso_advisory/index.shtml

There is an  El Nino Watch is in effect.   The current data is pointing towards a strong El Nino climate developing this summer/fall.  What does this mean for the PNW?  A drier and warmer winter.    

   

Caveat:  Despite this greater model consensus, there remains considerable uncertainty as to when El Niño will develop and how strong it may become. This uncertainty is amplified by the inherently lower forecast skill of the models for forecasts made in the spring.
