Some Thoughts on the Winter 2021-22 Outlook
Mr. Kevin replied to OHweather's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
Hi Jim. Is the mjo not moving out of IO into maritime continent for the reason the models are backing out on colder pattern east of rocky mountains? I live in Arkansas and its extremely difficult to get snow and ice in November especially anyways, but I wouldn't complain about early season event if the main months of winter are blowtorches -

Jeff, I thought the mjo was supposed to be going into 4 5 and 6 but maybe not now. Or delayed but not denied? I'm not sure. Hopefully the mjo will be moving soon -
Some Thoughts on the Winter 2021-22 Outlook
Mr. Kevin replied to OHweather's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
Jim, I'm hoping for either a SSW event to delay real warm weather in winter or the qbo to help with a cold weather signal. Not sure how the -qbo can help us if the forcing stays in the 4,5, and 6 phases all winter, which are warm phases in winter. Trying to be optimistic lol -

Is that a cold weather signal jax? I'm not too versed in mjo stuff because sometimes the mjo has a mind of its own from everything else lol -

Hi Jim. I have a question. If that forcing maintains itself in the 110-120E in winter, would we get cold at times or would the forcing have to shift for a colder outcome? -
Fall 2021 Thread (September, October, November)
Mr. Kevin replied to Carvers Gap's topic in Tennessee Valley
Jeff, I will take your word on it lol. I'm thinking alot warmer winter this winter, even though last winter wasnt cold, outside of a week to two weeks in February. I just want to see one winter event in my area. -
Fall 2021 Thread (September, October, November)
Mr. Kevin replied to Carvers Gap's topic in Tennessee Valley
Hi Jeff. My concern is if we dont get cold with shorter wavelengths, it may be tougher to get cold with longer wavelengths in winter. Is that a possibility or what do you think? -
Fall 2021 Thread (September, October, November)
Mr. Kevin replied to Carvers Gap's topic in Tennessee Valley
Jaxjagman, do we want the mjo to not stay in MC long at all for a cold pattern to develop later on? I forgot how the mjo works for the fall as compared to winter -
That's interesting because I read a tweet the other day that mentioned the artic sea ice had rapidly increased for October
-
Jomo, I dont really want to see it get too cold this early. I would rather see it happen at end of November, if it happens. Try to salvage a winter month before laniña kicks in, which this one is a second year niña. They can go either way. A -epo/wpo would be a good thing this winter.
-
When will you winter outlook be available?
-
I think a -pna isn't that good for us either unless there is tremendous blocking up top. I guess a -pdo usually promotes a -pna.
-
Would we have to have a -ao/nao pretty strong for us to have a decent shot at a cold winter? I'm in Arkansas but I dont think it matters much. Also, do you think early winter if we see any cold weather?
-
Depending on strength of it. Stronger it is, blowtorch for everyone! No questions asked lol. I still feel if no stratwarm event materializes early on, it will be a long winter
-
If it's going to be warm all winter, hopefully it stays warm. I would prefer cold, but with niña, its usually tough. We need alot of things to go our way for a colder outcome.
-
Nothing we can do about it if it happens. I believe if we can get a weak pv early on, that may save a month of cold weather for us or close to it. We all just want one winter event
-
Ray, I know its easier for yall to see snow and ice. Elevation is everything. We got lucky in Arkansas last February. I think if November shows the same non cold pattern, we may screwed, blued, and tattooed at that point. Better hope we can get the pv to be weaker than normal, otherwise 22-23 winter he we come
-
-
Carver, what about dec, jan, and feb? U got maps for those? Will be very difficult to get any sustained cold weather for November, outside the higher elevations imo.

Southern Plains Winter 2021-2022
Mr. Kevin replied to Iceresistance's topic in Central/Western States
As you know raindance, we have seen weak niñas act like strong niñas and it was a blowtorch. -
Weaker the better for niña, especially where it's location will be in the Pacific. Of course Ray, i am just a novice compared to you, but typically a -qbo promotes blocking, but it does us no good if we aren't able to get that -wpo/epo combo during boreal winter. Am I off base or close to being correct? Lol
-
Ray,can we get a -epo in a -pdo default pattern or is it really difficult? I guess that's why most hope we can get a taller aleutian ridge instead of flat
-
So do you expect the wpo overall to be more negative this winter compared to last winter? Like you mentioned, it was negative in October and then it flipped to positive for rest of winter. If we are going to have a -pdo, we dont want a pronounced laniña of any kind this winter. Correct? In my area, other than about a week to 10 days in February, it really wasn't cold. I think the -nao we had was too much east based
-
Ray, i guess we hope for the weaker the better for laniña to have a chance at a colder outcome for us.
