El Nino es muy bueno!

As a Certified Weather Geek, I can speak to this incredibly mild and lovely December weather we are having. At the Advanced SkyWarn Spotter Training Session that I attended last month at the Dutchess County Jail, the National Weather Service presenter told us that this year was a “strong El Nino” – which means a better than average chance of the following for the winter: milder than normal temperatures (check, so far) and above average precipitation (check, so far). I like what El Nino has presented us this month. After a cooldown to more normal temperatures this weekend, next week warms up again, and we could be wearing shorts for Christmas (forecast high, 65 degrees). It’s beginning to look a lot like … April! Enjoy it while it lasts.
