The National Weather Service said it expects the El Ni?o climate effect, which weakens hurricane activity, to last into the spring of next year, creating wetter than normal weather for some U.S. regions.
"Currently, weak El Ni?o conditions exist, but there is a potential for this event to strengthen into a moderate event by winter," said Vernon Kousky, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's lead El Ni?o forecaster, in a statement.
The Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center, in its weekly report, said a typical El Ni?o effect is likely to develop over North America over the winter season.
