Cory, the east coast states are warm because this is an El Nino year. On El Nino years the western USA gets a lot of snow and the eastern states gest warm weather. - Thanks for being a member of this forum during 2015. - Millet
You cant always go by the book's definitions. ..el nino events, especially historical occurances like this one, usually bring cold and wet to the South, Florida included (with tornadic outbreaks in our State). Well, so far we have been wet, with little severe events, and unseasonably /unusually warm and only a possible cool front by the first weekend of 2016. Not el nino like at all.
With that said, the forecast is for a neutral to possibly la nina by the early part of hurricane season and with the potential pattern, above average storm count, potential of more majors, and steering toward the Cunus. Sure hope that forecast is a bust too...
oh, before I forget... a very Merry Merry to all you citrus heads and your significant others/families!
