From t he KBUU Weather Department.
The likelihood this winter of an El Niño is increasing.
But it’s a minor El Nino … and no guarantee to the end of our epic drought.
The probability of El Niño conditions being present by December is now 70 to 75 percent, up from 50 percent five months ago … that’s according to a new report Thursday from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
But forecasters tell the San Jose Mercury newspaper that they don’t expect this event to be strong enough … to give confidence to favor a wet winter.
Currently, in large part because of those storms nearly two years ago, reservoir conditions remain in decent shape, with the largest reservoirs in California at 105 percent of their historical average
That’s why there have been virtually no water use restrictions this summer in many parts of the state … the San Jose Mercury reports.
