El Niño 2016 comes with a dry spell

(KRON)  — Spring has sprung, so says Punxsutawney Phil, who predicted an early spring.

Well not so fast. El Niño hasn’t dried up yet.


The forecast calls for mild temperatures and clear skies through the weekend. Rain doesn’t return until possibly Wednesday of next week.

Even the National Weather Service is talking about the dry spell:

High pressure over the eastern Pacific will keep conditions dry across the western half of the country.KRON4’S WEATHER PAGE
