I've also removed the Ohio Valley dry prediction; while that occurred in past strong El Niño events, models this time around predict wetter conditions. I've also narrowed the Indian and Australian areas effected to where most models agree this year.

But all 13 models this year have a prediction of strong precipitation anomalies. We should still be a tad cautious as 9 of 10 models also called for a wet Southern California in winter 2015/2016, but its definitely worth including on the map.

Thanks to Bernat Jiménez and Daniel Swain for helpful feedback! A few regions were also shifted/added based on the model predictions / agreement. For example, Southern California's Jan–Mar precip rises ~24% per °C of Niño-3.4 since 1950 but had a big miss in 2015/2016.

Tropical depression possible. Here's the outlook for Florida
It was a busy weekend in the tropics, with three disturbances appearing in the Atlantic. One could become a tropical depression later this week, according to the National Hurricane Center. If maximum sustained winds reach 39 mph, it would become Cristobal, the third-named storm of the season. While this season is expected to see below-normal activity due to the presence of a strong El Niño, forecasters have been warning Florida residents should always be prepared. ➤ Track all active storms Shop Amazon for hurricane prep Where these systems ultimately track will be an important factor in determining how much they can strengthen, according to AccuWeather. ➤ Weather alerts via text: Sign up to get updates about current storms and weather events by location Here's what you should know based on the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center as of 8 a.m., Aug. 10. Is there a hurricane coming toward Florida?
