What does the El Niño weather pattern mean for winter? Tracking the Tropics teams answers the question

Published Sat, 02 Nov 2024 18:23:31 GMT

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) -- As the 2023 hurricane season enters its final stretch, the El Niño weather pattern has shown up in full force. El Niño is one of the two phases in the El Niño-Southern Oscillation phenomenon. During this stage, trade winds weaken, causing warm Pacific Ocean water to move toward the Americas, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This climate pattern had a big impact on the 2023 hurricane season. With 19 named storms, the season was considered active, but thanks to the El Niño, few Atlantic cyclones ended up reaching the mainland U.S. "It really shows how different the weather pattern was this year with El Niño bringing warmer than normal sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic, and how that really played out to be fish storm, after fish storm, after fish storm," WFLA meteorologist Rebecca Barry said. Barry said the storms helped to cool down the abnormally warm Atlantic ocean, but not so much the reco...

The Loop Fantasy Football Report Week 12: Which replacements are quarterback keepers?

Published Sat, 02 Nov 2024 18:23:31 GMT

For many fantasy football mavens, a good quarterback is getting awfully hard to find.The season-ending injury suffered by Cincinnati star Joe Burrow is only the latest setback for the top tier of QBs. Last week also saw an injury suffered by second-tier veteran Geno Smith.With the previous departures of the Vikings’ Kirk Cousins, the Colts’ Anthony Richardson and the Browns’ Deshaun Watson, the quarterback waters have rarely been this shallow.Who can you grab on waivers at this late date? You never had a chance at getting Arizona’s returning Kyler Murray. And we won’t even mention untested newbies like the Bengals’ Jake Browning or the Browns’ Dorian Thompson-Robinson.There are only five replacement quarterbacks to consider, and their appeal varies greatly:Josh Dobbs (Vikings) – It’s wishful thinking that the Passtronaut might still be available in your league. He’s clearly the best new starter as he is tied for eighth in the league with six rushing touchdowns, and he has passed for...

How did Minnesota become the nation’s top turkey state?

Published Sat, 02 Nov 2024 18:23:31 GMT

By Christopher Vondracek, Star TribuneMinnesota is a turkey powerhouse.Minnesota has been a national leader in the production of this flightless bird since the late 1950s, ranking No. 1 among states for the last two decades. Today, one in five turkeys grown commercially in America hail from Minnesota, which produced about 37 million birds last year.So this Thanksgiving, there is a good chance the turkey on your plate (if you’re a traditionalist) was raised on one of Minnesota’s more than 650 turkey farms. Two special birds from Jennie-O in Willmar will even receive official Thanksgiving pardons at the White House this year.Related ArticlesBusiness | Bay Area scientist with bees in his bonnet gives Gov.
