Hi-- we are favoring La Nina with a peak probability of 85% so still not 100% (some would consider that a sure bet).  ENSO is based on coupled physics that happen within the tropical Pacific Ocean, so we primarily focus on the tropics.  The PDO is interesting insofar as it may feedback on the topics, but that effect is considered small on seasonal timescales and more relevant to decadal averages.
