All these super scary weather names :O

Whatever happened to the blastogenesis winter we were supposed to have?

What’s next Gorgon Summer where we all turn to stone?

However, we are not likely going to have that debacle in December 1997 when Sacramento came within a hair's breadth of very severe flooding from the American and Sacramento River overflowing its banks.

After that debacle, the US Bureau of Reclamation completely changed its procedures on opening the spillways at Folsom Dam and Natomas Dam and the flood gates at Sacramento Weir. As such, if we suddenly have a lot of rain the spillways will be opened much earlier and will be like what happened in the winter of 2010-2011, when 200% normal rain did not cause any flood danger issues in the Sacramento, CA area (though there was just a tad too many small tornadoes touching down in the Central Valley that winter).

Or, it might fizzle out.

Any predictive article with could is about as scientific as sticking one's wet finger in the air and predicting rain.

One thing about El Niño is that it will be followed by La Niña a year or so later. Then, those same weatherologists can proclaim the worse La Niña weather since the planet began spinning.

I’m guessing we’ll be knee-deep in mud and chocking on dust. Maybe the EPA will take control of our rivers.

I wait and see what Joe Bastardi has to say this Saturday. I know he will be talking about it. The last he said was the waters around Australia are not right for the strong winds that are needed for an epic El Nino.

Yeah, and we’re also in the middle of a vastly increased hurricane season because of global warming with -uh - maybe two hurricanes so far this year when by now we usually have had about eight.....

bring with it some epic rain (but not enough to end the drought)

Nothing ever ends the drought in California.

The place could be so flooded the cows were swimming and they would still claim drought.
