The latest data shows the ocean temperatures are normal to a bit above normal right now. Usually the warming or cooling of Pacific Ocean has nothing to do with any other season. This season may have been effected by La Nina. We did see below normal temperatures over the summer months and certainly a bit of a drought the last couple of weeks. Right now it doesn't look like the La Nina will have an effect on the winter. But of course time will tell.

Those terrible step children
Someone asked a question yesterday about El Nino/La Nina yesterday and whether the ocean cooling had an effect on our summer.

Getting very interesting
Quite frankly it's been a really quiet summer for us and I really haven't been really motivated to blog about it. But...here we go with something pretty decent to talk about. Ike! How does this effect us? We'll maybe I've motioned it before here that a hurricane can really hold up our weather pattern and I think that could be a viable scenario for this weekend. 
Friday Ike is headed for south Texas.
As this storm makes landfall it holds together with a ton of moisture
It joins forces with a land based system and I'm interested in further development for us as we could see some heavy rains south of us through Sunday. You can still see some pretty warm temperatures for us as well as the 850 mb temperatures are about +12 Celsius.
