										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is like that stabby lady in the bath tub in that movie.</p>
<p>Here, I&#8217;ll give you a more readable version of the graphic from <a href="http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/lanina/enso_evolution-status-fcsts-web.pdf">NOAA</a>:</p>
<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/scienceblogs.com/gregladen/files/2017/02/Screen-Shot-2017-02-07-at-3.10.43-PM.png"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/scienceblogs.com/gregladen/files/2017/02/Screen-Shot-2017-02-07-at-3.10.43-PM-610x373.png?resize=604%2C369" alt="Screen Shot 2017-02-07 at 3.10.43 PM" width="604" height="369" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-23683" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a></p>
<p>The chance of an the Pacific ENSO system being neutral, meaning, not adding extra heat to the atmosphere and not removing extra heat form the atmosphere, is about 50% from now through mid 2017.</p>
<p>But, the chance of a la Nina is pretty darn low, and the chance of an El Nino, which would add more heat to the atmosphere than the average year, is not only approaching 40% but it has been growing.</p>
<p>A second El Nino this close on the last one, which was a very severe El Nino, will not be as strong because there is that much heat stored up in the Pacific. A lot of it came out last time. But there is a fair amount left in there, so we could have a real, if not major, El Nino event this summer or fall.</p>
<p>Or not. This is really up in the air, as it were. But it is a little unusual to see a second El Nino this close in time, so I thought you might find this interesting.</p>
