The subsurface is also Neutral.. so it will be interesting to see if a La Nina-Pacific pattern happens this Winter. As per the subsurface, it's not as much of a blowout as you would think. Since 1998, the Hadley Cell has been La Nina-like in Neutral times though. It's looking like 2025-26 is going to have a 2013-14 setup. Should I start getting my hopes up or is it too early? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted Tuesday at 03:24 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:24 AM The issue I see is the trades are west, while the subsurface is east.....gonna need them to overlap a bit on the western periphery of 3.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes they happen sooner than the data suggests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite the change! Something much different is happening with the global temperatures decoupling with past ENSO transitions at least through November. So it’s no surprise that the record warmth isn’t allowing the La Niña to develop normally. But we are still getting a very strong La Niña and -PDO 500 mb pattern. It may be why several models are trying to transition back to El Niño next year so soon. We will have to monitor since it’s way to early for models to reliably forecast the ENSO that far out.

No post Nino drop showing up yet like in past I don't know, this feels like the period after the 2010-12 la nina was declared over, and people were in a rush to print out their "2012-13 super el nino" headlines. Because that will grab a reader's eyeballs more than "2012-13 ENSO neutral". I am skeptical of there being any type of el nino in 2025-26. For one, we are in a deeper -PDO than we were in 2012. (It's very rare to have 2 el ninos in 3 years, let alone in this deep of a -PDO.) What I think is more likely is that the PDO retreats towards neutral in 2025, like it did in 2013. It will happen in this order (1) we stay ENSO neutral for an extended period, (2) the PDO turns positive in 2026 or 2027, and (3) we have the el nino. The "2025-26 el nino" headlines will be printed, but I won't be fooled by them like I was in 2012-13. Yes, the el nino will happen before the decade is over, but like in 2012, the ingredients aren't there just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know it is most likely going to be warm, we need to find those positive windows now I don't think this winter is going to be wall to wall warm at all. Especially here but even on the east coast. Do I think the east coast ends up with a warmer than avg DJF? Yes. But do I think there's more than a few periods of opportunity? Yes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last winter we got super El Niño warmth getting enhanced by the La Niña and -PDO warm tendencies in regard to the Southeast Ridge. This fall has seen lingering super El Niño type warmth exceeding 2015 getting enhanced by the La Niña background boosting the 500mb ridge amplitude. So a merger of all the warmest tendencies from both El Niño and La Niña. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people who literally had to have amputations due to cold in Kansas City during an NFL game in January. I actually went out for a winter walk one day in mid-Jan and turned right around because it was too cold for me, someone used to cold in MI. Yes, in the insanely warm winter of 2023-24 we had a big arctic blast. Why bring this up? Because this winter will not be anywhere near as warm as last winter in many places. I feel people get WAY too caught up in the projected MONTHLY and SEASONAL anomalies and fail to remember that the weather changes on a near daily basis often times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less ENSO cooling due to the much warmer background inhibiting cold pool growth. Then repeating this state closer to initialization into an ENSO warming into next year. Would be a first if this happened from the borderline super last winter. So it probably isn’t the most likely outcome at this point. But would be an interesting occurrence if these long range models are actually onto something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooklynwx99 Posted Tuesday at 04:03 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:03 PM i do like seeing all of the ridging over AK and the WC to end the month on longer range guidance... usually the winter begins to start to show its hand around the end of November obviously, take with a grain of salt at range. just nice to see this rather than a black hole over the WC or AK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recent past is always prologue to the future when weather and climate is involved. So understanding the current conditions helps frame the range of possibilities going forward. Understanding and monitoring model biases also improves the success. I understand GW is a triggering topic for some on these forums since it challenges the past traditionally colder winter patterns from an earlier era. But you have to realize that for everyone who would like to go back to the colder era, there are many outside this forum who like the lower winter heating bills they have enjoyed over the last 9 seasons relative to what they would have been if it was much colder.
