The wave was very weak in 8-1 passage plus the jet ext overpowered any type of response. Now the standing wave is gaining strength in p2 which isn’t good for the east. P3 is cold in Nino January but unfortunately latest olr maps have the p2 wave not moving
Weeklies have punted that classic Nino look (Aleutian low/+pna) into February now. I think the typical Nino backloaded winter is in serious trouble. After p3 the phases are warm in the east for Nino January
Very Nina like which would keep the storm track over or west of us with cold/dry in between. I’m repeating myself but let’s up that ridge can slide east closer to mid month
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
