We could see El Nino conditions beginning in the summer. This would be a boon for U.S. grains, for fruits and vegetables and overall good for world crops.
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) April 14, 2014
While the snowpack that feeds the Colorado River is expected to produce 5 percent more water this year, noted climatologist Evelyn Browning-Garriss of the Browning Newsletter says the main event that could bring more serious relief from the Western drought is a potential El Nino brewing in the Pacific.
“California is seeing snowpack that is 23 percent of normal and the state’s reservoirs are at 63 percent, so any increase may help a parched California,” said Browning Garriss, who serves as editor-in-chief of the 37-year-old Browning Newsletter.
“While the 5 percent increase is a minor thing in a long-term drought, consider it an appetizer. The Pacific still looks as though it will produce our main course: an El Nino. If the El Nino develops into a long event that continues into next winter, it will bring a lot of good moisture to California.”
Browning-Garriss predicted the California drought in published reports this past October (along with the recent extremely cold winter). The Browning Newsletter is long known for being one of the most accurate reports on climate in the world.
Both the record-breaking cold and drought are caused by a dynamic jet stream shifting the cold far north in the West and far south in the East. While California is experiencing its worst drought in a century, it’s not the only state facing problems—56 percent of the lower 48 states are in dry or drought conditions.
“We could see El Nino conditions beginning in the summer,” said Browning-Garriss. “This would be a boon for U.S. grains, for fruits and vegetables and overall good for world crops.”
