2026-2027 Strong/Super El Nino
40/70 Benchmark replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
Either way it will be mild, but we would at least have a shot at a decent stretch if you're right. So the +IOD wasn't that strong in 2015 and 2023?? -

The coming winter season is goin to be a good test as to whether the absolute RONI value or the delta between it and the RONI is of greater significance. The key is whether or not we get that "La Nino" half-assed Aleutian low like 2023 again. -

I think keying in on major signals when developing an analog composite does have some value. -

I def. wouldn't be as worried about it where you are....more wiggle room. -

TBH, I think I would bet on this season being more impactful for the US than last season. -

That isn't what I said. However, I will discount a winter that is anything like 2009-2010 this coming season. Does that mean very little snowfall? No, not necessarily, but it will be warm. -

This is in no way 2009-2010...not remotely relevant. You have brought that up a couple of times...it's moot. It was much weaker and the warmth was relegated to the western flank...not to mention we had just passed solar min with a neg QBO. -

What choice do I have? If it's a super El Nino with the RONI lagging the ONI like 2023, then it will suck...just pray for one good storm and an exit from Bluewave's warm-pool nightmare. -

With any luck, this El Nino will provide the impetus for the exit of this west-warm pool oriented decade, as snowman suggested. I understand that may mean biting the bullet this year. -

Yea, this is why I don't think the Modoki is really going to matter. I think it's more about how it relates to the ONI. -

Hopefully that helps boost the RONI. -

40/70 Benchmark replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
Right....2018-2019 was la Nino, as well. It's honestly been over a decade since we've had a true El Nino, and the RONI even lagged in that one. -
2026-2027 Strong/Super El Nino
40/70 Benchmark replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
Yea, unfortunately, I feel like the remaining delta between the two is more important than the absolute RONI reading. Looks like a subpar season with an elevated risk for a big-dog. -

Cyclical.
