Good Sunday evening everybody. There is an old saying that what goes up must come down. That is going to be the case with the present El Nino that is affecting our weather this winter. The El Nino protected us well this past hurricane season by creating strong upper level winds that protected us from hurricanes.
As you know, El Nino is a warming of the waters of the tropical Pacific. This warming then in turn affects weather patterns throughout the world. It normally helps to protect us from hurricanes by increasing the wind shear in the tropical Atlantic.
