El Nino Expected to be more Intense

Weather forecasters say the El Nino weather pattern that continues to develop can now be the strongest El Nino since record-keeping began in 1950. Snowbirds traveling to this area of the south might find similar weather closer to home. NOAA expected to designate this as a super El Nino.

That means cooler and wet weather along the south all the way from California to Florida, but much warmer and drier weather north of Interstate 80 all the way to the Canadian border. Rain will not be welcome in this area, but rain in the west could again lead to filling reservoirs like Lake Mead, Lake Powell, water levels there the lowest in 70 years. This is the Bottom-Line Report.
