Bigger. Some are calling it godzilla because of the potential damage it could cause around the globe. But what does it mean for eastern iowa this winter . Winter . Chief meteorologist terry swails joins us knono with the storyryyou will onlnl see on cbs 2 news. News. The kind of winter we have here in iowa is determineda in parta thousands of miles away in the pacific ocean. Winds that usually blow east to west can slow down or even reverses at this time of year, causing a giant pool of warm water to form along the equator. That warm water covering an area about half the size of the entire u. S. Packs more energy than a a milllln atomic bomom. As that water tracks eastward, it sets off a Ripple Effect of weather conditions across the globea causing severe storms, floods and droughts. Its called el ni spanish for r the b b child because it peaks in december around the birth of the christ child. Child. This is a strong el nino yeara and it is still strengthening. Were already seeing signs like Hurricane Patricia that struck mexico recentlylya as the strongest pacific hurricane ever recorded. El nino has an 84 chance of peaking in late fall or early wier. The Climate Prediction Center says there is a 95 chance that these conditions will last through the winter, gradually weakening through spring 2016. Here in iowa, that often means abovenormal temperatures. Cold weather still happens, but extreme cold is generally less severe and less frequent. Snow tends to be lighter too. The last two strong el nino years in 1982 and 1997 gave iowans warm temperatures and less snow. Snow. But heres where i i have a little differenentake on el nino than the weather service. Several very cold iowa winters occurred during el nia episodes including the winters of 19761977, 1977 1978 and more recently 2009 2010. In other words, el nia does not guarantee a warm winter, but tends to shift the probabilities in that direction. Direction. This years global sea surface temperatures do not resemble those of the warm el nino winters. The data im looking at points to the colder el ninos of 1963 and 2009. Those years in iowa b bh hahawarm octobers that carried into much of november. Then the pattern abruptly turned cold and wintry come december and january. Im leaning heavily on those analogs to shape my forecast. While theres no sure way of knowing, i think this winter in eastern iowa has a good chance of being colder than what noaa is predicting with at least average snow and normal precipitation. Im expepeing our heaters and snow shovels will get their fair share of work. My sense is that this years el nino will be more of a foe than a friend.
