Climatologists are betting on an
El Niño forming in the Pacific
By DON JENKINS
Capital Press
The odds now strongly
favor an El Niño forming
in the Pacific Ocean, fed-
eral climatologists said
Thursday, tilting the long-
range weather outlook
toward a warm winter in the
Northwest.
The cool waters that ruled
the seas along the equator
since last fall have warmed
to normal or just-below nor-
mal temperatures. The fed-
eral Climate Prediction Cen-
ter, a branch of the National
Weather Service, puts the
chances that waters will heat
to El Niño levels by Decem-
ber at 70 percent.
El Niño winters are gen-
erally warmer and drier in
the northern U.S. But it’s not
a sure bet, Washington State
Climatologist Nick Bond
said.
“It’s completely possible

we’ll have a cold winter, but
more likely it will be on the
warmer side,” he said. “The
odds of having a little below
normal snowpack are higher
than usual.”
A month ago, the pre-
diction center put the odds
of an El Niño by winter at
just under 50 percent. The
center said the increasing
odds heavily influenced its
updated outlook, especially
for the fall and winter.
The forecast favors high-
er-than-average
tempera-
tures in California, Idaho,
Oregon and Washington
state from now until August
2019.
Washington state, Ore-
gon and the western half of
Idaho are expected to receive
below-average precipitation
through February 2019.
California and eastern
Idaho have equal chances
of below-, above- or aver-
age precipitation during that
time, according to the pre-
diction center.
Last May, the prediction
center said the odds slightly
favored an El Niño. Instead,
a La Niña, a cooling of the
ocean, formed. “It shows
you have to keep an eye on
things,” Bond said.
The center predicted an El
Niño in May 2014 and was
correct that time. The fol-
lowing winter was mild and
led to Washington’s “snow-
pack drought” of 2015, when
precipitation was plentiful
but it fell in the mountains as
rain instead of snow.
“It’s possible it could
happen again, but that was so
extreme, it’s really unlikely,”
Bond said.
El Niño persisted and
grew stronger for the win-
ter of 2015-16. Average tem-
peratures statewide were
above normal, but enough
precipitation fell to erase the
drought.
