The dry pattern regardless of the temperatures is not really what we need. Plus, we really look for el nino rains to set in beginning january, february. It is january and february where, because el nino is not just magic thing where rain happens, you have to have a series of things happen with that warm water, the jet stream has to dip down into the warm water and carry that energy into california, that doesnt happen in the fall. January and february it does go south. It does get energized and hopefully heads toward juice does it concern that were not seeing rain in the next seven days. I dont like to see that. To start january off as dry as we will, id like to see something else. Hopefully it will change. Thank you, paul.
