Darth Niño

Post by Royal » Wed Jan 06, 2016 3:45 am

WASHINGTON (AP) — Meteorologists say the current El Nino has stormed its way into the record books, tying 1997-1998 as the strongest recorded.

Mike Halpert, deputy director of the federal Climate Prediction Center, said initial figures for October-November-December match the same time period in 1997 for the strongest El Nino. Meteorologists measure El Nino based on how warm parts of the central Pacific for three consecutive months. Records go back to 1950.

El Nino is the natural warming of the central Pacific that changes weather worldwide, including bringing more rain to California.

Halpert said what really matters is what El Nino does during January, when its impact peaks.

Weather Underground meteorology director Jeff Masters said "Darth Nino may finally have California in its sights," as a series of storms may dent record drought.

Weather underground is predicting 2 inches of rain there today. Start building an ark.

Finished the year here at 64.26 inches.

At this point, aren't people there looking at the sky and saying "keep it coming".

Yes. They are pushing for snow in the mountains.

WU is predicting 20 inches of snow for the mountains. I think they said the snow was already improved over last year.

Today was awesome. Smack center of a Tornado warning area.

Got it all today- heavy monsoon like rain, hail, lightening, and high winds. It would be the best smoke break I ever had in the elements like that. My team leader took down the buildings patio umbrella like he was playing high stakes capture the flag as lightening and heavy raind blowing sideways hailed all around us.
