El Nino officially began on Thursday

FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber says El Nino officially started on Thursday, which usually means a quieter hurricane season. However, he is watching an area in the Southwestern Gulf that has a 10% chance of developing from the remnants of former Tropical Storm Cristina. Weber says it is unlikely it will develop because conditions aren’t favorable and there isn’t much time. Weber adds that it will work its way into Mexico. Otherwise, wind shear keeps the tropics quiet.
