It seems to be related to a number of factors, including El Nino. El Nino could bring more rain to California, and therefore one could say that “The Blob” could do that, but it has been forming for some time and so far the drought has not been affected by it.

I’m afraid “The Blob” is going to be something like The Poloar Vortex … a combination of a run of the mill phenomenon and somewhat unusual conditions that take on a life (blob/vortex) of its own, Rush Limbaugh claims to be Librul Plot, etc. etc. until finally some climate scientists and communicators get together and explain how it is annoying to call it The Blob.
