We still don’t if the mjo will be enough to flip the pattern. It’s a very strong wave so their is reasonable hope for it. But unfortunately the mjo isn’t the only factor currently
Phase 7 effects won’t be felt until closer to Christmas. Any phase 8 impacts will be after xmass. The only wildcard is some strat hits on the Pv around the 20th that could help with a cold shot in that timeframe.
We need to start seeing changes (moving up in time) somewhere and this is a start….I’ll take a -epo and East based block and roll it forward from there…
Next week still looks mild but the 70’s talk might be a stretch. The weekend is now looking to be the warmest on the models. The highest temperature next week at nyc is the upper 50’s
It’s going to take a major hit but will probably regain strength after that. It that wave 2 hit is true, it could help improve the pattern for cold/nao
-epo continues to move up in time on the ensembles. The Pv looks to take a hit around that time which might allow for a -nao. It will take time but after next week’s blowtorch I do see some positive signs
