Here is the first time that I've seen a forecast based from the El Nino that I can really say that I understood in detail.

No, I will not copy the text for two reasons 1) the illustrations can't be reproduced here, and 2) the text is way to political.
I don't want to discuss politics. I will ignore anything posted along those lines.
I just want the people in California to be aware of what the El Nino means for them.
Mostly, rain across the southern USA and the Northeastern USA will be warmer.
The Western USA will be wetter which it needs because of the drought. I still don't see predictions of the snowpack in the Rockies which supplies much water to the states west of them. I Am also glad that middle America's farmlands stay near normal.
added: For those who know me and think I'm a bit flaky -- My lawn needed mowing today and I have the air-conditioner on because it got to 70 deg F today. For November 18th, that's flaky. Me, I'm perfectly normal (wink, wink) ...
