    The prognosticated pattern improvement, if it verifies, seems to be setting up about 2 weeks too late for legitimate hopes for RDU east. That said some pretty anomalous solutions starting to show up on some guidance, so I'll stay interested for a while yet

    NC climate sites summary from January from the NWS shows Raleigh only -3.1 F for the month while Gboro was -4.9 and Fayetteville was -5.1. RDU was only 0.2 colder than Fay overall and actually 0.6 warmer for mean minimum.

    But the way in which a -PDO screws with a nino is by favoring + height anomalies in east, counteracting the nino propensity to drive a trough their, right?

    I could have sworn SER made some appearances last year in between Pac Puke episodes. I guess to clarify when I speak of the "SER" I am including the -PDO propensity for heights to spike to the North Pole in front of every short wave. Maybe that is a different animal from a stable bermuda ridge.

    The SER definitely made multiple appearances last year. It and Pack Puke basically took turns crushing our dreams

    Yes I was aware of the mercurial nature of SPV collapses (aka SSW events), just not as familiar with splits.

    Then sign me up for splitsville!

    What, if anything, are the potential implications for an SPV split in terms of sensible weather? I'm not really familiar with split PVs.
  9. cbmclean
    So does a split stratospheric PV mean anything for the lower troposphere?

    I will also note that not all of the GEFS members are that explosive into 6, with a sizeable number looking like the Euro. I wonder if the ensemble mean is being significantly skewed by the camp which is predicting explosion.
  11. cbmclean
    As Weather Will noted, GEF apesh!t SER likely stems from explosive intensification of the MJO into Phase 6 with one member bursting through the roof and apparently causing the world to incinerate. The EPS is much more restrained with a general prediction of progression through 6 into 7. We really want to get back to 8 to tart feeling better.

    I protest at the use of the word "gorgeous" to describe a Bermuda High in winter.

    Well you did have that glorious but brief Gheorghe Mureșan era. Seriously though I liked watching him play. He had some talent.

    So a warm period the first week of Feb looks highly likely barring some major modeling collapse (wouldn't it be nice if the warm pattern collapsed like last years epic pattern collapsed?) Looks like the crystal ball is very murky after that. As @psuhoffman has pointed out, historical analogs say a flip back to cold would be expected by the end of February into March. The real question as I see it is what happens the period of say Feb 10 - 24.
  15. cbmclean
    The GFS appears to be firmly in the camp of a longer tour through the bad phases of the MJO. May be contributing to that enhanced SER look.

    I would call it more less troughing in the west. Still I'd rather have it go that way than the other. I tried to embed a trend GIF but it wouldn't work for me. I've seen people do it before. How do you do it?

    The 10 HP winds are actually very strong this year or so I have heard, so no SSWs in the offing. As many have observed they are a crapshoot at best and absolutely undesirable with a good longwave pattern.
  18. cbmclean
    That event is fondly remembered in my sub for obvious reasons.
  19. cbmclean
    The upcoming 2030 - 2060 base period. -10 F equates to 60 F.

    Are you familiar with Ji?
  21. cbmclean
    I'm not sure I can handle another emotional roller coaster. If it's still there in 5 days I'll get invested.
  22. cbmclean
    When you outdo a day in Feb 1899 for cold, you have made an accomplishment.
  23. cbmclean
    Would you expect the PDO to impact the jet? I thought that was an independent problem due to the Hadley cell expansion.
  24. cbmclean
    I'm glad that is helping the cause this year, but it doesn't bode well for chances of getting a nice clean miller A in future Ninos if that Pac Jet stays permanently jacked up. I'm hoping it collapses...just wait til the end of this winter first .

    Where do you view radar?
