An El Nino this winter?

Meteorologists are reporting that an El Niño may be on the way again this winter but it may not be the strong El Niño that leads to torrential rains and flooding like the one back in 1998. Scientists said there's evidence another is heating up waters in the central Pacific but Art Miller of the Scripps Institute of Oceanography said it looks to be mild-to-moderate in size.

Still, he said anything is possible when it comes to long-range weather forecasts. "There's always a possibility though, because of the complicated nature of El Niño that it could become a stronger event in the coming months and by that, might influence us a bit more strongly as well in rainfall," Miller said.
