Lets start by look at the sea surface temperature anomalies (differences from normal) for a few areas in the tropical Pacific. The Nino 3.4 area is often cited, and as you can see, this temperature anomaly has dropped from 3 to 1.5 C...a big drop. Even more dramatic is the decline in the temperature of the Nino 1+2 area near the coast.
Dead starlings
The birds were first spotted on Saturday along the northbound shoulder of I-5 just south of the Wonderland Boulevard exit.
Pete Figura, a biologist with the state Department of Fish and Wildlife, said it was the first time he had personally heard about a bird die off, but had heard about it before elsewhere.
"And it is often hard to figure out what happened," Figura said.
Forecaster Neil Armstrong advised people to remain indoors and stay away from windows. The department also advised people not to go into the water and harbour personnel should be particularly careful while at marinas protect to their vessels.
Strong lightning strikes were seen throughout the day. A cell phone video was sent to The Tribune, showing a waterspout that was spotted near a food store on Queen's Highway in Grand Bahama.
"There are some possible further waterspouts and some possible tornado warnings due to a frontal boundary pushing into northwest Bahamas," Mr Armstrong said.
The current weather warning was issued at 4.30pm and will last until 8pm on Tuesday, after which other updates may follow.

According to NOAA's National Weather Service, waterspouts fall into two categories: fair weather waterspouts and tornadic waterspouts.
Typically, fair weather waterspouts dissipate rapidly when they make landfall, and rarely penetrate far inland.
Tornadic waterspouts are tornadoes that form over water, or move from land to water. They have the same characteristics as a land tornado, according to the NOAA's National Weather Service.

Cloud iridescence is the occurrence of colors in a cloud. It is a fairly uncommon phenomenon, most often observed in altocumulus, cirrocumulus, lenticular clouds and cirrus clouds.
Iridescence is generally produced near the sun. Iridescent clouds are a diffraction phenomenon caused by small water droplets or small ice crystals individually scattering light. Larger ice crystals produce halos.
If parts of clouds have small droplets or crystals of similar size, their cumulative effect is seen as colors. The cloud must be optically thin, so that most rays encounter only a single droplet. Iridescence is therefore mostly seen at cloud edges or in semi-transparent clouds, and newly forming clouds produce the brightest and most colorful iridescence.

Unlike other cases its heads were seperated at the neck
Unlike other cases its heads were seperated at the neck
The rare phenomenon of animals being with two heads is considered in many cultures to be a portent of disaster.
Dairy farmer Shaun Sowray, 55, told how the calf was delivered by Caesarean section on March 3 at his family farm in Harrogate, North Yorks.
Unlike other cases recorded, its heads were separated at the neck and it was born with four eyes, four ears, two mouths and four nostrils.
Experts say it is so rare that chances of it happening are one in 400 million - but warn of ancient mythology that claims the "monstrous" creature is an omen from God.
The main thrusts of the cold air will aim at the Great Lakes, New England and the northern part of the mid-Atlantic at a time when many people are looking forward to increased outdoor spring activities.
Arctic air to deliver shocking cold, hard freezes to the Upper Midwest and Northeast
The first and most dramatic of the two blasts will roll southeastward from Canada this weekend.
The approach and passage of the leading edge of the cold air will be accompanied by gusty winds. Sunday could bring high winds to much of the Northeast, in addition to plunging temperatures.
Kanlaon Volcano erupts
The eruption that lasted for 12 minutes produced a volcanic plume 1500 meters above the crater and a "booming sound" was heard in some barangays near the volcano.
According to the same advisory posted on the agency's social media account, "traces of light ashfall were reported in Sitio Guintubdan, Brgy. Ara-al, La Carlota City, Negros Occidental."
According to Police Supt. Frankie Lugo, chief of the Canlaon City in Negros Oriental, several fire balls, which were coming from the crater of the volcano, started to flow following a booming sound.
A thick cloud also formed after the minor explosion but faded minutes later, Lugo said.
