2026-2027 Strong/Super El Nino
40/70 Benchmark replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
Either way, we are getting a pig ridge in Canada...but we can either have a trough in the southeast, or a cool ENSO like se ridge. -

A pure super El Nino would offer more hope for a wintry period than the warm/cool ENSO hybrid that we witnessed in 2023 and to a lesser extent, 2015....especially early in the season. -

I think this is the first time I have every genuinely hoped you were right. -

Yea, I'm open to an alternate solution, but I think the default expectation should be continued attenuation of the ability of warm ENSO to modulate the north Pacific moving forward. -

Tell me you're a weenie without telling me- -

I think you have to assume another La Nino given the consistent RONI lag. -

40/70 Benchmark replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
Yea, CC is limiting the utility of traditional indexes....we need a RONI for the IOD. I bet the modern IOD readings are falsely inflated due to the rising SSTs, so you can't assume this will entirely eradicate the La Nina background. -

This is what I was driving at.....the very strong +IOD didn't prevent the La Nino in 2023, so how can we be confident that it will this year.... -

Well, you could do that with any period....add March in and winter wasn't that cold. -

Of course, I'm just saying it's a consideration. I used to be oppose to it, but have started incorporating it a bit. -

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?? -

40/70 Benchmark replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
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.
