2009/2010 Wet California Predicted

Forecasters predict a Strong El Nino to slam California with extra precipitation for the 2009/2010 winter season.

And long-range forecasters say there’s a good chance this year’s episode, now classified as the fourth-strongest since 1950, still has plenty of rain and warmth to give.

“We’re just beginning to see the global pattern of El Niño impacts emerge,” said Mike McPhaden, a scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “El Niño has legs.”

El Nino should dump a lot more rain and snow throughout the Pacific Southwest - including California, Nevada and Arizona.

But early this winter, El Niño’s influence was blunted by another atmospheric phenomenon known as the Arctic oscillation. In December and early January, this oscillation led to record outbreaks of Arctic air spreading over much of the Northern Hemisphere.
