How are we looking for latter October? Trying to get a feel for whether or not we can get away with doing my 7 yr old's Bday outdoors....looks kind of seasonable-ish?

Doubt it...my call from yesterday still looks good...110mph peak overnight before a Destin, FL LF early Sat at 90mph. Famous last words....lol

On the east coast... -
Should be a good flex tonight before it gets pummeled early tomorrow.

I thought we tied the record of 10/8 from 1851.

Which is why it probably isn't a good idea to speak in absolutes....the issue that has been plaguing us for the past decade is that we have been mired in a perpetual state of MC forcing...if 2023 was buoyed in phase 6 and this is further east, then I'll take my chances with that. -

In the mean....not necessarily over the shorter-term due to more stochastic pattern flexes; there are also favorable periods within a bad season. -

I don't mean this to be insulting, either....I have had some brutal forecasts....anyone being honest and transparent has. -

Either way, it all boils down to a warmer baseline. -

Pretty sure Forky missed the nice season we had last year...honest question @forkyfork, what would you need to see to forecast a decent winter? It was petty obvious to a lot of folks that the combination of high solar/very strong easterly QBO and modest-eastern biased La Nina would yield a plethora of chances last winter.... I get that the ridges were larger, troughs smaller as compared to similar patterns 50 years ago...not the point- -

We all agree it's an uphill battle, but it's the close-minded, bandying about of absolutes in a divisive manner that folks take umbrage to....it's a nuisance at the very least, and a barrier to constructive dialogue at worst. -

TBH, it needs to be to have a similar impact given the anecedent state of the Pacific. -

We can all agree 1995-1996 was in incredible winter, but there was a notable deviation from that pattern during the middle portion of January. -

You're right...I guess Ayer, MA will have to settle for 2"/hr instead of the 6" in 1997...then again, there is more moisture available in the warmer air...
