El Niño

The event will feature everything from the latest El Nino predictions to information about how you can prepare for potentially heavy rainfall.

Work is underway on the island to mitigate the impact of storm damage.

A Cal State Channel Islands researcher says the anomalous wave could temporarily raise sea levels by 6 to 12".

The study examined coral over the past thousand years to gauge the impact of the seasonal weather phenomenon.

According to Bill Patzert, we could be two to three months away from getting an accurate fix on whether the Central and South Coasts will have a significant El Niño.

Climatologists say there's a 71% chance of La Niña impacts this fall and winter. The lack of rain could mean increased wildfire conditions.

Changes in ocean water temperatures indicate a La Nina pattern is forming. La Ninas can mean below average rainfall for our region, and can set the stage for drought conditions.

Some scientists believe they are the new normal for the region.

Expert says January through March are historically the big months for El Nino to impact us, if it is going to happen.

A leading climatologist says it's too soon to say. But, Dr. Bill Patzert cautions that an El Nino pattern doesn't necessarily mean above average rainfall.
