Pssst. California might have a wet winter.

After three years of drought, that's good news. And it's not from the Farmers' Almanac. It's from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The bet is that El Nino is warming up the equatorial Pacific Ocean enough to divert the jet stream just a little south -- bringing storms more into California than the Pacific Northwest.

Of course, no one is guaranteeing anything. But it looks better this fall than it has in a few years.
