NEG NAO

Recommended Posts

Right on cue - just when chances for accumulating snow become slim to none, Mother Nature takes us out of the blowtorch pattern. I think the next month will still end up slightly above normal, but we're looking at more neg departure days than we've seen the past 5 months.

I don't think we get into an below normal temperature pattern until June at the earliest, most likely in July though but there is a chance that June could average below normal.

May will be a blow torch IMO.

Yeah we had a discussion about this in my thread. I'm leaning warm for May right now, and cooler for JJA.

DGEX would end all the fire talk:

I don't think the DGEX showed a big storm like that in a while... usually when the GFS comes close to a big storm the DGEX completes it with a fantasy solution. I'd dismiss it as a typical DGEX fantasy storm, maybe there could be a more noticeable storm but the DGEX ususally overdoes it.

Euro ensembles have a coastal during that time frame as well.

So does the ECM operational run; having a storm in this time frame is a reasonable possibility. However, given the DGEX's track record it wouldn't surprise me if it's overdoing the storm with its latest run.

Warm up coming by around mid-month for the area. With the Mexican/SW drought conditions, above normal

temps will build over the SW next week before coming east.

The dry weather here could certainly cause it to be hotter over the summer than it otherwise would be as well, if it keeps up. The drought over Texas and the SW contributed to our searingly hot summer last year, and likely would again if it persists.

It will be interesting to see if the heat dome is further north this summer into the plains as the drier conditions extend

further north this spring than last. Recently we have seen the big ridges set up in the summer where the driest

spring conditions were found.

Why would anyone want a Nor'Easter that brings raw low 40s and heavy rain? Worst weather possible... it's just obnoxious at this point that some are still rooting for cold/snow... I was off that train by 2/1,

We've got to have something to make the general public miserable; they've been way too complacent the past several months, and their happiness is making me sad.
