Typically, the cooler conditions during an el nino winter are directly linked to the increase in cloud cover keeping daily high temps down. If you look at the data, low temperatures during an el nino winter are usually around normal. So, along those lines, if this turns out to be a drier el nino winter than one would expect, the temperatures will also respond and not be effected by cloudy day coolness.
One thing is for sure, with places like Naples having a year-to-date rainfall deficit of 20" and Fort Lauderdale's ytd rain deficit of 25", a wetter pattern would not be unwelcome. Maybe it's early, but October and November haven't even featured near normal rainfall....it's been dry, very dry.
