I still feel the same way I did earlier this summer....the only real difference is it's more east-based than I expected, but I have said all along I didn't think Modoki index would matter much the year, though I still expect it to leak westward post-peak. -

When in doubt regarding the impact of CC, expect a generally warmer outcome with greater volatility. Certain trolls are only going to focus on the first part, which neglects the crucial second part which will make or break seasonal forecasts and dictate how a winter will be remembered. -
it's not going to be all winter, it's going to be the majority of the winter.

Going on strictly VP, nothing compares. -

I can't find a match to this, though. 1997 is closest.... -

I can't find an analog that has forcing as expansive throughout the tropical Pacific during the month of December as this year is forecast.....1983 looks like a good match for January, as it begins to erode a bit on the eastern flank...the image below is reflective of VP on the color scheme, with the contour representing precip rate to really hone in on the best forcing. -

CC is a nutshell...yes, the days are obviously warming, but it's more pronounced at night. -

Pretty sure that very cold run isn't happening. -
Yea, this is what I was getting at....maybe it won't be pretty, but it will be a +PNA.

Yes, me, too....but there is no way the EURO will be too warm under that ridge...the pattern in this era of accelerated CC, the correction vector for seasonal guidance has been warmer underneath the ridges, which is why I was saying that...it's not some random, arbitrary guess. The model doesn't have much of a shot of busting cold anywhere nowadays, and if it does, it isn't going to under the ridge.
