Jan 1981 was the biggest +PNA on record for DJFM(CPC)

Yeah, that very warm water over there just keeps feeding the convection. So it's like it's holding it back almost. Pretty crazy actually. That's what it looks like keeps happening.

Love watching football in the snow IN SEATTLE.

Wild.

Super El Niño followed both of these years.... 2 years later. 

The super super duper El Niño is most likely on the way. There’s just too much heat around to sustain La Niña (even though it’s wind based). If NYC were to ever see a 50”+ storm that’s how you get it done, with an atmospheric river flowing in to a nor’easter with a nice source airmass

Super duper could be this next one if this phase 7 business keeps going thats for sure. That's what's building up all of the subsurface heat right now. At high amplitude too.

The long range model runs have been underestimating the extent of the convection north of Australia for weeks now.

New run

Old run

 

Yeah, it's almost like it's trapped between that and La Niña. Some of it moves on at times, but that base area just stays put. I think it's a testament to the amplitude of the MJO this year. The QBO argued for that. Because of cooling in the very upper troposphere. It's impressive.

Gefs and eps are doing different things with that ridge after it gets cut off. Eps retrograding it. Gefs it's still meandering around just north. Found that difference interesting.

Yeah super duper El Nino means very very warm winter.

It is interesting what the GFS OP is trying to do on the last couple of runs -developing LP on the front coming through early next week and turning it into a rain to heavy snow scenario here - but this is probably going to go away in future runs

CMC had a similar evolution at 12z although a little further west.

euro shows a nice one to two hours of snow even for the city tomorrow afternoon with temps in the mid 30's. probably comes in as sleet more likely and if it does come in as snow the temps will drop from dynamic cooling effect. a dusting is definitely possible

Almost there.

It does, but it also means amped up super moisture charged Miller A’s. Time some cold just right and you have January 16s record NYC snows. Tweak a few variables and that’s how you go for 50”. Chances are warmth will win before we ever see that however.

The greater concern, to me, in light of this potential. Is that a global temperature spike is known to be associated with such events. Something the planet could really do without IMO.

I miss Miller A storms

Here’s a question for you fellas what’s the Longest the MJO has ever hung around in a certain phase?

Bluewave would know this question. I believe it was a few weeks.

I think we're looking at it right now TBH, at least back to 1975 during winter months. 

[EasternLI]

Would like to have @bluewave thoughts on this?

Imo the 6z GFS makes more sense, trailing waves are usually weaker and more suppressed. Hard to get a trailing wave to amp up like that.

Working in our favor. Phase 7 works well of us in January while IF it touches 8 we may be able to save February. 

That is best case scenario not a forecast.

Hopefully it stalls out in 8

I do not have the EC ensembles past 240, however looks like a gradient patters sets up day 10 on GEFS with our area north of the gradient. The SE ridge would work in our favor battling suppression from the non stop Negative AO.

Do you have the picture that's shows phase 7 in January?

Gefs being more stubborn than eps with the western trough. But also more stubborn with higher heights in the arctic. This is 06z Gefs vs 00z eps for the same timeframe, which is the end of the eps run. So some differences noted here.

That's funny. Both would work for us for different reasons.

TBH I would take the EPS as the negative AO is shredding Everything. Sure we would be at a cutter risk but would setup trailing wave potential.

GEFS could still work but more light event potential.

At some point we WILL snow. 

[EasternLI]

I'd be cautious of those RMM charts if I were you...
