2026-2027 Record-breaking El Nino

You can see that NF cold pool go bye-bye, as I was expecting earlier this summer. -

Well, like you said....we need to give it through October. -

Should be in the seasonal mean, but we need to time one during the negative intervals...there should be some. -

BTW, if you have seen the EURO and CANSIPS snowfall output, this appears to be what these models do. -

Sure, but the question you need to ask yourself..."is it already out of the picture completely"...because if the answer is no, then it will show up this season. -

Agree. I wonder if a neutralish PDO with an El Niño of this magnitude doesn't shift the STJ inward and upward relative to climo for intense El Niño. -

Yea, someone in the New England forum was trying to tell me were going to have a -PNA this winter...I was like, find a super El Niño that pulled that off. -AO/+PNA means you can essentially eliminate the bottom dwelling seasons....even 1972 didn't. Now, maybe it will be bootleg, etc...but the season will average +PNA in the DJFM mean. -

What I can tell you based on what has been happening for the past decade is that the error is likely to be guidance underestimating the scope and magnitude of that Canadian ridge, so it's probably safe to assume that the greater heights will extend further to the south and east than most guidance suggests.....which combined with the poor read on the Pacific makes me very suspicious of that trend to shove the lower heights northward on the CANSIPS. This isn't me saying awful winter....I don't think, or want that to be the case, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to don my Frosty the Snowman boxers every time that I post. -

I don't know Wall, so I'll take your word for it. I think most on this board would agree that my only agenda is getting the forecast correct, and placing much stock into a model with such a poor initialization of the Pacific basin, both ENSO and extra tropical, gives me significant pause before seriously considering it's output. This isn't about CC, or how well the model did last year....it's about the fact that it has such an obviously poor read on the Pacific. -

So it's going to be too low with heights in the southeast, but nail the northeast and mid atlantic? Good luck- -
