We have no evidence of that, just a guess based on previous El Ninos, which have a weak summer effect. Mid 90s is 4-5 degrees above normal for mid-June.

We'll see. fingers crossed for more westerlies, even NW flow.

DoctorMu the Op GFS does break it down eventually, stronger than normal westerlies could provide more rain opportunities this summer but also could make this hurricane season interesting

Assuming the SJT doesn't lift over the ridge, those westerlies would shear off the tops of tropical systems, making them weaksauce but good widespread rainmakers. I think that could be how we get the most rain between June 15 and late August in CLL. Houston could see seabreeze showers during the summer if the ridge center stays west or north.

Levi Cowan came out with a fantastic hurricane video the other day, says their are some interesting and unusual factors that could lead to a busy season despite el nino strengthening, this may not be an ordinary el nino hurricane season

The shear would affect the strength of tropical systems and hurricane wind speed more than the number of tropical systems. I would expect another busy season.

Two cells merged. It escalated quickly and held together. It's nice to see some rain.

Im thinking this MCS may work over the atmosphere pretty good, may not see much in the way of new development until probably tommorow evening of so

Dang that sucks! I got 2.3” IMBY. The highest totals I’ve seen for the event appear to be in the Pecan Grove/Harvest Green area
