I have hope we see improvements out west by mid month. If not, the typical backloaded winter Nino is probably shot. Some of the seasonal guidance is popping a dateline ridge as the western trough moves further west.
Agreed. I think we should see improvements out west closer to the 15th. I don’t buy this Nina look as the datline ridge pops and the trough out west moves further west.
Unless the default base state is still Nina and we never get a Nino response. If that’s the case then dollhouses at the 40 yard line please
The jet ext killed any response in the colder phases. Plus it’s not very strong. P1 Nino December actually looks like what week 1 of January is forecasted to be
It makes sense giving the mjo going into p3 that we see pna improvements. Sometimes their is a lag time with the response by I like closer to the 15th.
@psuhoffman I agree with him on the idea if we revert back to a Nina look it’s most likely over. We don’t have time to recover from that and the strong Nino didn’t help the base state
Agreed. I had hope for the first two weeks of the months but the cold Is just not established yet…
I hope this is the start of the changes we need for the second half of January
