2026-2027 Record-breaking El Nino

2016 looks okay for Feb.... -

Going on strictly VP, nothing compares. -

I can't find a match to this, though. 1997 is closest.... -

I can't find an analog that has forcing as expansive throughout the tropical Pacific during the month of December as this year is forecast.....1983 looks like a good match for January, as it begins to erode a bit on the eastern flank...the image below is reflective of VP on the color scheme, with the contour representing preci rate to really hone in on the best forcing. -

CC is a nutshell...yes, the days are obviously warming, but it's more pronounced at night. -

Pretty sure that very cold run isn't happening. -
Yea, this is what I was getting at....maybe it won't be pretty, but it will be a +PNA.
-
Yes, me, too....but there is no way the EURO will be too warm under that ridge...the pattern in this era of accelerated CC, the correction vector for seasonal guidance has been warmer underneath the ridges, which is why I was saying that...it's not some random, arbitrary guess. The model doesn't have much of a shot of busting cold anywhere nowadays, and if it does, it isn't going to under the ridge.
-
I will bet anyone $5,000 right now that DJFM will average +PNA....now, maybe guidance overdoes it, or the placement/orientation is less than ideal...different argument.

Completely agree, which is why my preliminary assessment of the extra tropical Pacific holds it near neutral. -
One thing I am really starting to hone in on as we get closer to go-time is the split forcing that is prevalent until Feb, when the east-basin backs off a bit....but everything about this season screams "bipolar".
-
Like I told you before, it's not going to be too warm under the ridge, which will be over se Canada this year...it was over the SW US the past two seasons. Apples and oranges to compare it this year.

I would argue that it's a bit of a net positive, but nor argument that it's not anywhere approaching comensurate with the magnitude of El Niño. -

It should.....the main argument against a better expression of El Nino is the CC enhanced MC regime destructively interfering, but I don't think anyone would argue that the S Hem isn't experiencing CC, as well. -

Same people bitching about the two weeks of rain would be panicking about how we aren't seeing coastals start to show in the lead up to winter.
