Was doing some initial digging into late fall and next winter. VERY EARLY but possibly a western ridge setting up shop later next fall or at least in the nation's mid-section. Not sure how that pans out here, but we will see. I haven't really looked at ENSO stuff yet. May swing by later this week with some early ideas. Again, this thread is very much speculation at this range. We sort of fine tune as we get closer. So, the end of the thread is usually quite accurate in my experience. For now, summer awaits...even as the last snowflakes fall on Mt Leconte and the Plateau today. With it being late April now, we only have about five-ish more months until the next season's first snowflakes fly in higher elevations.
