Below-normal sea surface temperatures continue this month across much of the equatorial part of the Pacific Ocean, but there are signs that this La Nina episode is about to enter “ENSO-neutral” status, and then likely flip to El Nino conditions by the early part of the summer (tropical) season. A change from La Nina to El Nino across the equatorial Pacific Ocean can have big implications for the upcoming Atlantic Basin tropical season. Indeed, warmer-than-normal water associated with an El Nino episode in the tropical Pacific is often an inhibiting factor for tropical activity in the Atlantic Basin. This is due to increased wind shear in the atmosphere; especially over the Caribbean Sea during typical El Nino summer seasons, and this inhibits the development and intensification of tropical storms. A second potential inhibiting factor for tropical activity in the Atlantic Basin this summer is the chance that colder-than-normal water will develop across much of the tropical Atlantic Ocean according to some longer-range forecast models.

Following the passage of a strong cold front, today will turn out much colder than yesterday and there will be a stiff N-NW wind developing that can gust to 30 mph or so. The chilly air mass will stick around on Tuesday though the winds will slacken off and then high pressure brings us milder temperatures at mid-week. Another frontal system will likely bring us more unsettled weather later into the week with more chilly air to follow as we end the week and begin the upcoming weekend.
