From the Louisiana State Climate Office: This interesting graphic from the Storm Prediction Center shows how El Ni\u00f1o and La Ni\u00f1a may influence local severe weather. The top map shows the average number of January watch days during the 10 strongest Dec-Jan El Ni\u00f1os as rated by the MEI, or Multivariate ENSO Index. The middle map shows the same except during La Ni\u00f1as, and the bottom map shows the difference in average January watch days between the strongest El Ni\u00f1o months and strongest La Ni\u00f1a months.<\/p>\n

Here in the Southeast, it means that for Georgia, Florida and the Carolinas, the strongest El Ni\u00f1os tend to have more severe weather watches than in La Ni\u00f1a years, while in Alabama and Mississippi, there tend to be more watches in strong La Ni\u00f1a years than in strong El Ni\u00f1o years. \u00a0However, the two top maps show that you can get severe weather in the Southeast regardless of ENSO phase, so be prepared!<\/p>\n
