tramadoc Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Why does the NAO hate us so much?It knows that there is zero chance of snow for us so it decides to go negative. By the time November rolls around it will either be positive or trending that way. It will then tease us by fooling the models to think that it will go negative during the winter of 2019/2020, but it will remain steadfastly positive through the entire winter only to negative once again in April 2020. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at least it might mean a mild spring & summer. I'd take that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or else all this hard work I am doing right now is for naught. Please let me know if you think we only have a few days, or maybe weeks left. So much to do, so little time!! If you want to go kill the winter thread, that's ok. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceagewhereartthou Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Well not seeing much good news on the horizon. One day of a wedge on Saturday and then it looks to be an early summer type pattern for the forseeable future with temps around 82/60 for the upstate, or about 10-15 degrees above average! Would love to have a longer cooler spring, maybe keep some 70s/50s for a few weeks but not in the cards. Oh well, at least Accuweather doesn't have me hitting 90 until June 21st! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel17 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 588 Ridge on the 500 MB chart showing up next week. Hope that isn't a permanent feature this summer, but we all know how this is going to go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel17 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Long range GFS is showing a series of good pushes of continental Canadian air from 5/11-5/20 or so. Hoping we can cash that in before summer loads up and locks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathernerd Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 So I’m heading to Kiawah Island from 5/11 - 5/18 for a much needed vacation. Can anyone give me a summary of what to expect weather wise next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallsLake Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 If we had the current/forecasted indices during the winter, we'd be in business. +PNA, -NAO, and -AO. https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/daily_ao_index/teleconnections.shtml I suppose it can still help keep troughs in the east (..which is forecasted), but the farther into spring we get the less south they can push.

We had that in the winter and the pattern still was crap, due to MJO being in the wrong phases for a cold SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We even had the PNA go negative for the month of February (which it had been the one thing we could count on). But (I agree), I also heard folks blame the MJO.
