Among the most severe storms, supercells can bring strong winds, hail, and even tornadoes. See more extreme weather pictures. In conditions defined by climatologists as "neutral," high air pressure predominates in the eastern Pacific, while low pressure predominates in the west. The difference in pressure generates the trade winds, which blow east to west over the surface of the tropical Pacific, pushing the warm waters westward.
The deeper, cooler waters then surface in the east, replacing the warm waters. Over months, and sometimes years, the heat in the surface layer of the Pacific dissipates and the deeper colder water gets to the surface, aided by changes in the trade winds.

Hopefully next fall and winter will see some real storminess into the central west coast and help replenish our snowpack and water supply. We had great winters in and Otherwise most of the last decade was very dry and drought years.
We also haven't had a full basin major strong El Nino in quite some time. The fishing is always fantastic during Ninos. Add new comment.

Over Indonesia, rainfall tends to increase while rainfall decreases over the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. The normal easterly winds along the equator become even stronger.
Often tropical Pacific SSTs are generally close to average. Typical winter impacts associated with ENSO neutral events. Colder probabilities are favored across north-central and northeast portions of the US, due to a polar jet stream shifted further south.
