November is starting to look more and more like a torch and not only a torch, continued very dry/drought as well. Also on a side note, just eyeballing the QBO anomalies, it’s definitely still strengthening positive
-
We are completely blowing the 01-02 drought out of the water
-
The models are nothing more than showers for Friday and Monday/Tuesday. Would not be surprised to see them dry out more. I honestly cannot remember a period that was this dry for this long in my life
-
Probably his worst bust ever. And he refused to give it up. Months and months of him insisting that the east was about to plunge into an arctic tundra. “Vodka cold is coming!” If there ever was a winter that was toast in November that was the one. November was an epic dry torch, that set the tone for the next 4 months and it was game over. Right through the end of March
-
With how things have been going since late August, would anyone actually be surprised if this modeled “rain event” for early November verifies as nothing more than some showers?
-
I’ll leave that one to @GaWx He’s done a bunch of research into it
-
It sure has…over 250 and climbing. There’s a chance we go over 300
-
So we are going to end up with a perfectly normal October SAI. Not that it mattered anyway. We spoke about it before but 14-15 rendered the entire high SAI = -AO and -NAO argument bogus. A record high SAI in 2014 and one of the most positive AO and NAO winters on record

@Gawx

We have left the record dry fall of 2001 in the dust
-
Dry as a bone the next 2 days with super low dews. Inevitably some moron will toss a cigarette out of their car and start a huge brush fire. Never fails
-
You were right, didn’t take long for the +AMO look to come back. And the dry period since this fall has been astounding, when you compare it to other dry -PDO’s:
-
Thoughts on the +EPO/Bering Sea vortex?
-
Typical Nina/-IOD forcing developing @Bluewave

If the overnight ensemble runs are correct about the upper level pattern at the beginning of November, whatever tropical development happens will have no way of making it up the coast. Strong westerlies all the way into the Deep South. Any TC development would get shunted right OTS. Not much of a surprise though as that is typical of November
-
I think we see the anomalous dry conditions continue right through the end of November and it ends up another record dry month. I don’t believe the GFS fantasy of a tropical cyclone coming up the coast for one second. Besides not fitting November climo, the models show the normal seasonal progression of the westerlies well south by the beginning of the month. A dry feedback loop is firmly in place now
-
Which would not fit November climo at all. The westerlies are normally way too far south at that point
-
This fall (really since August 20th) has made 01-02 look like the wettest fall in history
-
@Bluewave So shocking, MJO 4-6 dominating. Here we go again….
-
Obviously November to be determined but the seasonal forecasts that had a cold and wet fall with lots of storminess are a real huge bust to this point
-
The absolute worst case scenario is a persistent Bering Sea vortex. Complete shutdown pattern. Even an AK vortex isn’t as bad and can be somewhat workable for you guys up there at your latitude….
-
I’ve never had well water so I know nothing about it. Just repeating what he told me last night
-
We have been a desert since August 20th and there’s no end in sight. One of the guys I work with is on well water and he said this is the 1st time in over 20 years that his well is starting to run low. He turned his lawn sprinklers off because of it
-
Even more troubling than that map showing the ridiculous dryness since late August, this is definitely something you don’t want to see. The ensembles are developing a huge Bering Sea vortex at the beginning of November. If that’s a sign of things to come, ooof
