PhiEaglesfan712 Posted yesterday at 11:12 AM Share Posted yesterday at 11:12 AM Cold beginning of December is pretty much locked at this point. The question now is whether any part of the Eastern US can capitalize on this winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the MeteoNetwork composites are lower sample size. I translated the site to show the color codes and the degree of reliability. MJO Tables - MeteoNetwork Medium-high reliability Medium-low reliability Low reliability Plotting not available due to lack of data I like the JMA since each composite is based on a big sample size from 60 to 100 dates. Sample size can often be an issue with MJO composites so you need to see which work better in real time and then try to extrapolate out where the MJO is going and whether it’s having a strong enough effect. This current pattern forecast for late November is more of a +AAM with blocking near the Aleutians and Baffin Island. So the MJO may still be running in the background but not dominating the pattern. We’ll have to wait until early December to determine whether the +AAM dominates or we get a warmer MJO 5-7 influence. Another possibility would be an odd combination of both almost like wave interference. https://ds.data.jma.go.jp/tcc/tcc/products/clisys/mjo/composite.html High AAM pattern for late November 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I don't think the cold to begin December should be a suprise to anyone, as there have been hints for awhile now. What happens during the balance of the month is the question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember last winter I fell for long range guidance and started to think December may be colder than I had originally thought....not that it can't happen this season, but the moral of the story is that in this modern climate, one should be skeptical of sustained cold until you see the whites of the weenie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sets them up to look really ridiculous I can't stand hype either way, but it's no different than some of the Twitter stuff you share of the opposite extreme. Though honestly anyone who uses Twitter as their weather source are just like the people who use their phones AI forecast graphics as their main weather source. They'll forget once it changes the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow my memory is like steel when it comes to actual past weather, but like mush when it comes to what models predicted lol. I honestly do not remember cold being forecast last December. Usually there are several different routes we can take for a respectable winter if it won't be great, but strong ninos are the ONE and only scenario i go into winter cringing.

40/70 Benchmark Posted yesterday at 05:56 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:56 PM All kidding aside, first crucial inflection point this winter will be whether or not that pattern is fleeting or has staying power. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can hold that day 11 snapshot, then it would be a blend of December 2017 and 2009. It will be interesting to see how long we can sustain that pattern since the MJO indicator in October that I discussed was going for a mismatch in December like we saw in 2020, 2017, and 2010. But since this La Niña was weaker than those years it was uncertain how well it would work. The WWB and AAM rise and ENSO warming we just saw may have been related to the very amplified MJO 5 wave that we saw in October. Still too early to tell how long that day 10 pattern lasts but we should know one way or another by the first week of December. We’ll know at that point if the pattern has staying power or it switches back to something more Niña-like after week 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted yesterday at 06:06 PM Share Posted yesterday at 06:06 PM I expected a mismatch period, but not one the magnitude of 2017 and 2020, which also encompassed December...I bit on a more tempered version like Jan 2022. We'll see. 2020 was one of the elite QBO analogs I selected, so there is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even NOAA isn’t sure of what’s going on as this WWB and ENSO warming wasn’t forecast by any of the models along with the sudden jump in global temperatures starting back in 2023. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2452742-the-mystery-of-the-missing-la-nina-continues-and-we-dont-know-why/#:~:text=While sea surface temperatures in,by the end of November. An expected shift to cool La Niña conditions in the Pacific Ocean has been delayed again. Forecasters now project only a weak event to emerge by the end of November, which is likely to limit the cooling influence of the climate pattern on global average temperatures. “I do not know why it has slowed down,” says Michelle L’Heureux at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). “If someone did, we might have been able to predict it.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
