2026-2027 Record-breaking El Nino

I think we all are punting a cold and snowy December, but it's important to keep it real, too. -

I personally couldn't care less if it's +10 or +6...TBH, if it isn't going to snow, give me the former....I just think there is reason to doubt that with all central and eastern Pacific forcing. -

There is also no antecedent airmass to work with this early in the season. -

Yes, all we can say is that this El Nino will be a bit warmer than it would have under identical conditions a decade ago....but not sure that is enough to account for the lack of MC contribution. We spent a decade observing how that amplifies warmth over the eastern CONUS, so we can't now pretend that it wasn't a factor. -

I think the elimination of the ample MC forcing from 2023-2024 helps. Strat warming is pretty varied in how it manifests so it's tough to say outside of the fact that it is probably too early at this point. -

I think it's too early to mean much for us, even if it does result in a colder period. -

I think I have made it clear that I am skeptical of how impactful this strat warming will be and am more interested in what it may portend later in the season. -

It's almost as if the climate is warming or something... -

Yes, this a great example of why I keep pointing out that secondary convective node around 130-150W......it fosters some variability. Does it preclude a mild season overall? No. -

Get this all teed up for @bluewaveto compare it to future warmer runs as the ridge trends southward. -

This what I was getting at with a reflection event being the safer bet....these warmings are feast or famine, whether they result in reversals or not....yet they result in these mass cyber-orgies. -

Is anyone subscribed to The World Climate Center paywall? I made an inquiry about a trial, but haven't heard back.....I'm looking to access a data set... -
