Above Normal T's for the FALL are 3x more likely than Below Normal. And for the WINTER, are still 2x more likely. [Gov't Output-which never goes BN anyway] I disagree and say it will be SSW to the rescue. It has been going on all summer but this phenomena has its greatest affect on the 2M T during the winter of course. Hope it positions itself favorably for us, that is over N.A.
Speaking of AN, from listening to WFLA in Tampa on IHeart Radio, AN is a staple. 17 months in a row have been AN, and 22/24 during the last 2 years.
We had 20 months in a row of AN back in (and around) the 2015 period.
Even using the most recent 30 year periods, updated annualy, might not fully catch us up to the moving target of GW. Clearly the 'current normals' aren't anymore.
