We’ll see how far S that rain can get. It looks like it’ll be mainly N of I-10 rn.

Looks like a really good chance for rain later this week for those N of I-10. 2-4” on average.

The Big Flip is still on for the end of the week.

NOAA has lows in the upper 40s and low 50s Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. Friday has the largest chance of rain by far with the approaching FROPA.

On the other flip side...there's a significant, but unclear how substantial, chance that a Super El Nino + CC could change the climate radically going forward. Hoping for some mitigation...or a warm Alaska!

The big El Nino of 1998 gave us a “step up” in the ongoing heating of the planet. This will do the same but like on steroids.

Our next move might be Virginia instead of NC. 8-) :roll:

There are a lot of factors that come to play besides El Nino. I would look at Indian Ocean or other parts of the Pacific.
