Scientists and meteorologists around the world expect a major disruption to weather patterns with global reverberations will likely return this year. After three straight years of La Niña, El Niño appears to be on its way. Here's how it could affect Pueblo and southern Colorado. El Niño is an occasional weather pattern where waters along South America in the Pacific Ocean are warmer than usual while trade winds are weaker. During El Niño's inverse pattern, La Niña, water stays cooler and the winds are stronger, according to Becky Bolinger, Colorado's assistant state climatologist.
