That's why I'm not sold on a blowtorch, snowless winter just because of ENSO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxWatcher007 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 12 minutes ago, weatherwiz said: It has been an ongoing debate on these boards for many years and something I always go back and forth on, but I’m not so sure you can use one storm (whether it be severe, winter, tropical) to characterize a season as a whole. Sometimes the higher end events are more of a product of the short-term pattern and how the pieces evolved and interacted versus the overall regime or what regime dominated during that season. when it comes to this tropical season, what was the biggest focal point from many of the tropical forecasts? It was the forecast of a record named number of storms and these forecasts blew any previous forecasts for nunber of storms out of the water. At least up until now, can you really say this has been a wild season, regardless of what what some index says? We’re definitely going to see more storms and there certainly will be potential for major hurricanes and land falling hurricanes, however, it’s been a total dud versus expectations…period. I guess my fundamental point though is…if we were expecting a historic met winter, would we say this 20% of the way through the season on December 20th or whatever? With one KU already in the books? Actually we would It’s not quite apples to apples but I think expectations have been a bit out of whack. Hyperactive doesn’t mean 10/6/3 this early, unless your bar is 2005. I think a reasonable projection for Aug 31 would’ve been something like 8/4/1 so we’re short of that pace to be sure, but it’s not dramatic. Ten days from now if we’re still 5/3/1 that’s a much bigger difference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there a few reasons why this season so far has been quieter in terms of named events. I know you want the ACE for winter lol. The one metric is what it is....I mean, take the blizzard if '78 out of '77-'78 and it was just a run-of-the-mill above average snowfall season. It doesn't matter that it is one storm...it was a cat 5 over multiple days in early July, which is a tremendously anomalous testament to the ingredients at play this season.

40/70 Benchmark Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 And this really has nothing to do with winter, Scott...I'm not going big winter, regardless of what the ACE looks like. TBH, one of the best analogs was a high ACE, mild winter. If you look at most of the snowy, high ACE seasons, they were near solar min, so there are other factors at play here.

Take the blizzard out and you still have a record breaker 2 weeks earlier. But I get the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxWatcher007 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Maybe, finally, some signs of life on the models? The signal is messy but there at least this cycle to do something with a wave that’s further south in the eastern MDR. Would test the theory that further south could work with enough time to mix out SAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree... it will tough to not go through a formation surge moving into and through the mid-month period. Whether or not that leads to landfalls aways comes down to relatively short term pattern evolutions. Right now, I don't see an ominous EC pattern but that can change quickly.
