Southern California Weather Force has issued the final forecast for the 2023-2024 Strong El Nino Season.

The last update on the preliminary forecast will stand. I will keep this as storms moving to the north mostly and delivering strong Santa Ana Wind Events, unlike the last several years. I will be going opposite of the other forecasts and going for an average to below average season and not above average as I did with last year’s La Nina, where they went below average and lost.

There is no reason that I should sugar coat anyone that wants to always have a wet season. You can’t always say it will always be what you want and also the news seems to do it yearly, but that is not what I do in reality, because that is not possible per science. This is the year we will have a super cold season. As per the article here – https://www.southerncaliforniaweatherforce.com/2023/09/25/preliminary-el-nino-forecast-for-the-southwestern-united-states-for-the-2023-2024-season-extreme-cold-projected/

That super cold season of 1912-1913 will finalize and stick for the forecast area. It may not seem like it now because of the heat, but I can assure you that it will change fast as we will move through the next couple weeks as an appetizer with a Santa Ana Wind Event between October 24th and 27th.

Then after that, we will hit another warm period and then around mid-November to Thanksgiving you’ll see a major cold period …

Coldest periods will be New Years, January, and Early February.

The season will have a number of thunderstorms due to the upper-level temperature change.

So, to recap, Southern California as per my long-range forecast will be opposite of El Nino, having average to slightly below average rainfall, but nothing too dry … along with record breaking cold temperatures and a number of severe weather events for the strongest storms we do have with low elevation, even valley snow events.

If you have produce, I suggest remaining to the future forecasts as this will likely cripple the Central Valley (Kern and above) under no warning …

He has certs from Mississippi State for broadcast met and Penn State forecasting certs MET 101, 241, 341 and 361 as a meteorologist, but before then was completely self-taught, barely learning a thing from the schools that he did not already know.

Both short and long-range is very important to know in those jobs so you can bet on accuracy here. He is versed in fields like Western USA, Tornadoes, Floods, Hurricanes, High Winds, Fire Behavior, Snow and Blizzards, Short Range, Long Range, Seasonal, and Life-Threatening decisions with over 25 years' experience, out forecasting all weather services available today with lead-time and precision, which makes him a focus of ridicule and envy.
