One of the historical signs of a strong El Nino would be flows on the Colorado River. In 1884, the estimated flow of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon was 210K cfs. In 1921 it was ~170K cfs. And in 1984 flows into Lake Powell maxed out at ~122K cfs.
Before 1880's gauges on the river did not exist but looking at the Grand Canyon and Glen Canyon, I am guessing they were much much higher in the past...
With the recent changes to the https://t.co/eJmZV5CqyP site, we have received a couple of messages about 404 errors.
This is supposed to catch bots (which have been a huge issue over the last few months) but may overreach in trying to filter out the bad guys. If you get this problem, please let me know.

All the ingredients are there for a gigantic Pacific Jet extension later in week 2 & 3, which should lead to a more favorable pattern for 🌪️ by mid-June:
✅ Kara Sea ridge >> East Asia cold shot
✅ Mei-Yu front south of Japan
✅ Pacific MJO event
✅ Developing Super El Niño
"Nearly unprecedented"
Forecast for Denver and Boulder, Colorado --> 4" of snowfall (at least)
2-3 feet in the mountains ... unbelievable snow storm for early May 🏔️❄️
Right before school starts, we spent a wonderful week with the girls at the spectacular Lake Powell.
Here’s my bad-ass wife Heidi—water skiing with the majestic canyons behind her. ❤️❤️❤️
