"El Nino Watch" - October El Nino Update

The October update from CPC (Climate Prediction Center) of the National Weather Service indicates that little change in the SST (Sea Surface Temperatures) has occurred  from the September readings in the central Pacific Ocean. 

Water temperatures have continued near normal from the September readings.  Therefore, the chances of an even weak El Nino to developed have decreased.
What has add more uncertainty to this developed is that the computer models are at odds.  Some of the models indicated conditions remaining status quo and other hint at a weak El Nino might develop.  The official forecast from CPC is conditions will remain status quo.

The official forecast from the CPC calls for both temperatures and precipitation to be near normal over northern Utah and southwest Colorado.  Albeit even normal precipitation is great with average winter/spring snowfall over the area ranging from 300-500”.

Another update on El Nino will be blogged again in November.  Stay tuned.

El Nino Possibly Winter 2012-2013

The waters have returned to near normal in the central Pacific Ocean in August after being colder than normal this past winter.  Computer models indicate that the water should start to warm some this month.  However, thereafter the models are at odds on just how strong this warming is going to be and whether it will be a weak or moderate event for winter 2012-2013. Remembering that warmer than normal waters in the Pacific support a southern storm track through North America.

The long-range forecast issued by the Climate Center of the National Weather Service for winter 2012-2013 (Dec-Feb) call for near normal for both precipitation and temperatures for Utah and southwest Colorado (see graphics).

A caveat to all of this is long-range weather forecasts are somewhat more accurate than in the past.  The forecast for the upcoming winter is based on climatology of with this event in the past.
An update on the progress of this El Nino will be blogged the first part of October.
