For the 22-23 La Niña the Euro was too warm in the West and too cool in the East. So the Euro was too cool under where the La Niña SE Ridge set up. The +1C forecast in those areas verified closer to +3.5C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Euro did much better with the winter temperature forecast in 21-22 than the last two winters. It had close to a +1C departure for parts of the Northeast which was fairly close. But it required the big MJO 8 in January to go against the La Niña and -PDO at least for one month. So I think the only way the Euro seasonal will end up being closer this winter is for at least one month to go against the -PDO and La Niña background enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormchaserchuck1 Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 With a weak ENSO state, my -NAO/-PNA/+EPO correlation is working. Look at this massive ridge extending across the N. Pacific! (it's been trending stronger the last 2 days) The new thing today is this huge +EPO at the end of the model run, which is the warmest pattern, and would result in very above average temperatures across the CONUS for late Nov, if it holds (just started appearing on LR models today). November could end up a top 10 warmest for a lot of places if this verifies. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTW actually finished -0.4°F in 2021-22 but that had us a little over +1°C. Like I said though, always a grain of salt. That does look like a decent overall prediction by the Euro tho. Once we start getting snowstorms to track, it'll be interesting to see if Euro has regained it's king status of several years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the end of November pattern on the long range ensembles is correct, that’s a Bering Sea vortex, total lights out ++EPO pattern. That’s exactly what happened back in late November, 2011. It’s even worse than an Alaskan vortex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be skeptical of any modeled snow outside of NNE/elevations with that look -NAO or not. It could be interesting for ski areas in CNE though if the +EPO backs off some in early December. Areas more SE will need to wait longer, how much longer depends on what happens with the pacific pattern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually did give a slight cold advantage to recent analogs, and warm advantage to older analogs when doing the weight. For example, 92-93, 93-94, 97-98, 00-01, and 02-03 were all cold Oct-Nov's (I did + and - analogs by the way). So I had a total of about 15 warm analogs, minus 15 cold analogs. But recent analogs didn't have to be super cold to make it, and 1950s analogs didn't have to be super warm to make it. Evens it out a bit, because I'm looking for a global-index signal. The analog composite which the maps cut off, actually have a good mix throughout the 75-year base period of older and recent years. I think that takes CC out of the equation, a little bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the cold I put a minus sign to give the warm-analogs correlation going forward.

We've had quite a few cold Novembers in recent years (8 of the past 12 colder than avg) but it's been striking how often novembers pattern has differed from winter the past decade here. For the heck if it, I looked at the top 20 warmest and coldest Novembers on record. Of the 20 warmest, 14 saw warmer than avg winters and 6 saw colder than avg winters. Of the 20 coldest, 10 saw warmer than avg winters and 10 colder than avg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LES snowstorm details for the Great Lakes will probably come down to the state of the winter EPO. We haven had a +EPO dominant La Niña winter since 11-12. That resulted in a sharp LES gradient pattern. Buffalo finished in the top 5 lowest winters for snowfall while Marquette was only the 20th lowest. So improvement relative to the averages and absolutes the further north you went. Hopefully for your area this current +EPO isn’t a preview of the upcoming winter. We will probably have a better idea of more micro details like that once we get into the first week of December and see what the pattern and modeling indicates at that time.

I was referring more to synoptic snowstorms. LES is fun of course, but since im outside the lake belts (Detroit suburbs), its more mood flakes, squalls, dustings, and 1-3" type events. Definitely adds to the mood, but its never a make or break for a winter like it is in Buffalo or Marquette. La Nina winters, good or bad, tend to have plenty of potential. Theres almost always an active storm track, almost always a roller coaster, and almost always a large temp gradient in the US. What this winter looks like when the final numbers are totaled remains to be seen, but Ive never in my life lived through a stagnant, non-changing winter in MI, and I certainly dont expect to do so in a la nina winter. Its a long season. Even the beginning of December isnt going to tell me much for winter as a whole, just for December. Ive learned to always take winter one month at a time at the MOST. Im not very good when it comes to all these indicies at all, Im more of a climo/know the weather type. Its so early, as of this point, I really have to stick with what I said the other day - there are things I really like for this season, and things i really dont.

Typhoon Tip Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 for those of us sticking to the thread's title and intentions, from the mjo desk at cpc "La Niña conditions have been slow to evolve across the Pacific, and may be further disrupted by recent MJO activity. As the suppressed phase of the MJO crosses the Pacific over the next few weeks, however, a strong trade wind surge is favored, which may help further the evolution of the low frequency base state" seeing roni in action there. mjo is probably enhanced by blazing warm ocean-atmosphere coupled western to central pac transit of the wave space ( relative to climo...etc) and that heat flux is probably helping to 'charge' the total wave space strength. --> suppressing the basal frequency/enso. there's other ways but this is just one in which climate plays a role in the daily modulation - see... you can, in a way, anticipate cc in 2-week forecast philosophy. the other aspect in the total qualification of roni is probably the enhanced mid lat gradient causing ambient velocities to speed up. that g-strophic wind surplus then effects the rosby wave stability .. that then acts as a destructive interference wrt the the climate position/correlations of ensos. etc... these are contributor multi-sourced in the increasing frequency of poorly coupled enso states being observed over the past decade(s) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
