The Climate Prediction Center says that old, misnamed reprobate and hurricane-pusher La Nina could be close at hand.
"Some forecast models, especially the NCEP Climate Forecast System (CFS), continue to predict a rapid transition to La Niña by July 2007. However, for the past few months the CFS forecasts have been predicting a stronger and more rapid cooling than has actually occurred. Historically, the next few months are a favorable period for the development of La Niña."
It could make for a busy hurricane season, with some storms, inevitably, rolling our way from the Gulf.
