The precipitation outlook for July, August, and September shows the possibility of a rainier season for parts of the Southwest, including some of Colorado and the San Luis Valley.

If I could cross my toes, I would cross my toes, 'cause we definitely need some moisture.

At the same time, expect temperatures to stay elevated, with July typically the hottest month of the year as temperatures head into the 90-degree range.

The chances for a super El Niño are increasing, but what it might mean for the world is yet to be seen.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasts are putting the chances of a super El Niño forming sometime in November, December, or January at 63%.

Many data models suggest that if a super El Niño forms, it could do years of damage to many of the world's food systems, weather patterns, and infrastructure as climate change increases the intensity of weather across the globe.

NASA climate researcher Severine Fournier told NPR News, "It definitely looks like an El Niño.

That's a guarantee, but it will have to scale up in the next few months to become a record El Niño.

We'll have to wait and see." Whether or not it breaks records this year, Fournier said this year's El Niño will be on the steroids.

Well, hopefully that's good news for us in the San Luis Valley, the San Juans, and the Sangres.
