On their map the entire US is going to be covered in snow and storms for winter except for the SW. It's sure to verify. Remember I already called for snows east of 95, looks like they're on to the same intel I've been reading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormchaserchuck1 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Greenland has seen the strongest negative H5 anomaly in the N. Hemisphere in about 3-4 years, this Summer. Some people and climate models might latch onto that and say, there is a chance. The thing is though, there is a strong correlation to Summer SSTs in the N. Atlantic with the following Winter's NAO, and that deep trough had made the predictive area move into a SST range that has a +NAO likelihood for the Winter. I have tested that NAO formula out real time since 2005, and it's 9-9, within the standard deviation of 0.54. Right now the NAO-predictor index is running about +0.35, making the 50% odds that the NAO runs -0.19 to +0.89 for DJFM. But the index runs out to September, and what we have seen lately is warming, so it may finish >+0.50 for the year, giving us like a 75% chance that it will be a +NAO Winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cool and all but I've been really studying my new weather textbook and I'm seeing big snows for us. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted July 20 Author Share Posted July 20 From the latest ENSO blog. Quote The forecast is based on information from our computer climate models, including the North American Multi-Model Ensemble, a collection of state-of-the-art models (more info here and here). The model forecasts are in agreement that La Niña is likely, although over the past few months they have backed off somewhat on the strength of the upcoming event. Currently, the probability that La Niña will peak in our unofficial “moderate” category (3-month-average Niño-3.4 Index at least 1.0 °C cooler than average) is around 50%. The stronger the event, the more likely its expected impacts will occur over the globe. https://www.climate.gov/news-features/blogs/enso/july-2024-enso-update-summer-vacation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 In this changing environment, the methods that used to work don’t anymore. Years much more that 25 ago just are not good indicators. ENSO not reliable. Many new indexes unproven Here we sit on top of a big pot of water with 4% of the planet populated and built upon . We need to look elsewhere other than we are warming that pot from the top down. We don’t have the power to do that. We need to look from the bottom up and therein will lie the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormchaserchuck1 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 ENSO subsurface is a very good tool. We have technologies that measure the ocean thermocline, and that increases the likelihood of given patterns. CPC has been doing extremely well on their monthly and seasonal forecasts over the past 1-2 years. But yeah, the neutralization of the climate is making consistency a top forecasting method these days. It's my opinion that classic methods are already taken into account, and factored into Oil prices, etc.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Long-range guesscasting based on ENSO analogs hasn't worked too well recently. I think I'll continue to not worry about winter until it's here...and even then forecasting at shorter ranges has generally been unreliable so I'll probably just let things happen as they will without concerning myself over it! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Models have backed away from its strength lately. But the PDO is still very negative and will remain so through winter, so enso may not even matter much for us here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 On 6/20/2024 at 6:42 PM, Stormchaserchuck1 said: EPO's run in 7-12 day patterns, and I kind of think we are due for some -EPO patterns. In 99-00 we had that Jan 25 storm that gave us 20" in the midst of a Strong La Nina and a very warm Winter, so yeah things can time right and we can get average snowfall, It will usually happen with a -EPO or +PNA. With that being said, they haven't seen a flake of snow in Raleigh, NC for 1100 days. And Boston hasn't seen a 4" storm in almost 3 years. The jet stream is definitely lifting north for the last decade, and I think that has a lot to do with the Pacific La Nina cycle we are in, resulting in -PDO. I think what they normally see in NC/SC is what we are in right now, and that doesn't really show signs of changing, at least not soon. Watch the SW, US too, when they get troughs/rain, we are more favorable for Winter weather a few years later, vs hot/dry there, which usually spreads east over time.. Maybe when the Atlantic starts switching back to -AMO and the PDO changes as well we will get more favorable.. they both should be near their decadal cycle peaks right now. I think what we are in right now is more RNA/+AMO vs what they would call global warming. maybe like 70/30 Completely agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below is the reason why. The reason I whiffed last season is because I misinterpreted the impications of el nino being partially negated by the west PAC....I concepotualized it as simply a weaker El Nino, which is more favorable for winter....but what actually was taking place was the West Pacific competing and largely overpowering the El Nino. 4 minutes ago, 40/70 Benchmark said: It doesn't matter if the ONI reminas weak, the La Nina Walker cell will still be at least moderately intense for the same reason that we had a cool ENSO regime during an onstensibly powerful el Nino last year....the west Pacific warmth. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes a lot of sense...and it appears that even the best long-rangers are using the experience of the last few years to hone in on things a bit better. You're one of the best and I really enjoy reading your write-ups each year, and while I'm not going to worry myself over what may or may not happen, I would certainly prefer to see bullish progs than bearish ones! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 After getting burned for several years, I'm paying more attention to the pacific jet and the PDO. While it's just August, I'm happy to see this pool of warmer waters off the Inside Passage. Hopefully this persists and gets the east coast a few chances for snow this winter. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
