An El Niño Advisory has been issued and you may have recently heard the term "Super El Niño". One of our meteorologists explains the terms NOAA uses to describe ENSO intensity and some basics of what El Niño is and is not. The forecast calls for El Niño to strengthen into the winter months. See the advisory: cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/a… More at noaa.gov/news-release/el-nin…

Today, one of our meteorologists is retiring after 31 years of federal service. Since March of 1999, Bruce has been at NWS Norman, after a start in San Antonio. Lots of weather and forecasts behind him, but now a well deserved retirement awaits him. Well done, Bruce.

This afternoon's Boise upper air (balloon) sounding had 1.57 inch of precipitable water (an indicator of rainfall potential). This amount ranks second most all-time in records dating back to 1948. Only Aug 21, 2023, with 1.67 inch from remnants of a tropical storm, had more.
