Climate Prediction Center: El Nino likely through Spring

A U.S. government weather forecaster on Thursday raised the likelihood that El Nino conditions would last into the Northern Hemisphere's early spring to 85 percent, boosting the probability that drought-stricken California could see increased rains.

Strong El Niño likely this winter but its impact to Sierra remains unclear

Government weather forecasters have said there is now a 90 percent chance of a strong El Niño this winter and an 80 percent chance it will last until early spring of 2016. The weather phenomenon, which is essentially warmer than normal water in the tropical Pacific, has been shaping up since spring.

With California and Nevada experiencing four years of drought, an El Niño winter may be the kind of boost needed to rebuild snowpack in the Sierra and replenish dwindling water supplies in both states. Or not.
