Good morning, Luvy
Good morning, Pro

Look what I found at NOAA's website: NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center: La Niña is back
This means drought is likely to continue in the drought-stricken states of Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico,” said Mike Halpert, deputy director of the Climate Prediction Center. “La Niña also often brings colder winters to the Pacific Northwest and the northern Plains, and warmer temperatures to the southern states.”
Seasonal hurricane forecasters factored the potential return of La Niña into NOAA’s updated 2011 Atlantic hurricane season outlook, issued in August, which called for an active hurricane season. With the development of tropical storm Nate this week, the number of tropical cyclones entered the predicted range of 14-19 named storms.
The strong 2010-11 La Niña contributed to record winter snowfall, spring flooding and drought across the United States, as well as other extreme weather events throughout the world, such as heavy rain in Australia and an extremely dry equatorial eastern Africa.
Guess we'd better prepare ourselves as best we can.
Sigh..It does not look good.
I heard a similar report on the news this morning and I don't like it. I have a calendar I use to note the amount of rain we have and we have had just over 6" since January 1st of this year.
Ugh! I hope they are wrong! I don’t think we can take the stress of another year without rain. It’s very depressing and wearing on the nerves. :(
On the other hand...hope you have a great weekend! :)
