There is an approximately 65% chance that El Niño conditions will be present during the Northern Hemisphere winter and last into the Northern Hemisphere spring 2015.
During November 2014, sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies increased across the central and eastern equatorial Pacific (Fig. 1). At the end of the month, the weekly Niño indices ranged from +0.4oC in the Niño-1+2 region to +1.0oC in the Niño-3.4 region (Fig. 2). The subsurface heat content anomalies (averaged between 180o-100oW) also increased during November (Fig. 3) as a downwelling oceanic Kelvin wave increased subsurface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific (Fig. 4). However, the overall atmospheric circulation has yet to show a clear coupling to the anomalously warm waters. The monthly equatorial low-level winds were largely near average, although weak anomalous westerlies appeared in a portion of the eastern tropical Pacific. Upper level easterly anomalies emerged in the central and eastern tropical Pacific during the month. The Southern Oscillation Index has been somewhat negative, but the equatorial Southern Oscillation Index has been near zero. Also, rainfall continued to be below average near the Date Line and over Indonesia, and near average east of the Date Line (Fig. 5). Although the SST anomalies alone might imply weak El Niño conditions, the patterns of wind and rainfall anomalies generally do not clearly indicate a coupling of the atmosphere to the ocean. Therefore, despite movement toward El Niño from one month ago, the combined atmospheric and oceanic state remains ENSO-neutral.
Similar to last month, most models predict SST anomalies to be at weak El Niño levels during November-January 2014-15 and to continue above the El Niño threshold into early 2015 (Fig. 6). Assuming that El Niño fully emerges, the forecaster consensus favors a weak event. In summary, there is an approximately 65% chance of El Niño conditions during the Northern Hemisphere winter, which are expected to last into the Northern Hemisphere spring 2015 (click CPC/IRI consensus forecast for the chance of each outcome).

A BAAAAAD Day
The rains have nothing to do with it this time, but Highway 1 will again be closed at Devil’s Slide — for six hours late Friday and early Saturday.
Caltrans and the CHP will shut both bores of the Lantos Tunnel from 10 p.m. Friday until 4 a.m. Saturday for state-mandated emergency response drills.
The closure will repeat an all-too-familiar scenario, albeit briefly and in a planned manner this time, that led to the construction of the Devil’s Slide Tunnel, which opened in March 2013.
Before the tunnel opened, the precarious two-lane stretch of highway was often closed — sometimes for months — when heavy rains saturated the unstable cliffs, pulled the pavement toward the Pacific and dropped boulders onto the highway.
But this time, the closure is for required annual testing of the safety and communications systems in the tunnel and emergency response drills, said Vince Jacala, a Caltrans spokesman. The drill is expected to take place regardless of weather — unless flooding or a large volume of emergency calls require public safety agencies to head elsewhere.
The fourth bore of the Caldecott Tunnel also will be closed for similar training and testing from 10 p.m. Dec. 13 until 4 a.m. Dec. 14. Eastbound traffic will use bores 1 and 2 as usual while westbound traffic will use bore 3. Delays are anticipated.
