That said, the Nina is not going crazy so that could lead to a reduced # of storms. We shall see what happens. Seldom do these cold/snowy or busy hurricanes season forecast ever work out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rarely do these cold/snowy or busy hurricanes season forecast ever work out Part of the issue is that everyone went hysterical on the big season so the expectations are high...Even a busy season does not alway equate to landfalls... and the cold/snowy forecasts are a staple from certain forecasters-just have to see through the hype....Last winter even remotely cold snowy was 20-21...and even that was a great 3 week stretch and not the whole winter or anything close to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANDA Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 .01" rainfall last 24 hours. Let's continue to play kick the can. Very dry and disappointing "wet stretch" especially considering the high DP pattern that has been in place for the last 3-4 weeks. Some places haven done well but those places are a small percentage of this sub forum. It has been dry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, that doesn’t happen with Friday into the weekend 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As global temperatures rise, I guess it's easy just to assume that this will spawn more tropical systems? A novice could just forecast 2 storms above the average...

At least 2 above and this is against our highest set of 30 year normals. Just seems near impossible to get a month 2 below normal at this point. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, that doesn’t happen with Friday into the weekend Yeah I'm not gonna get my hopes up too high for Friday into the weekend after what has happened the last few weeks. As Manda said, the lack of rain this summer has been very frustrating considering all the high humidity we've had. Storms this afternoon look spotty. I hope we get lucky with something but it's only a slim chance. I'll probably be watering the vegetable garden again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only month in recent years we have been able to get something approaching regular cold departures has been November. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just noticed that when I was looking at some climate stats for the Ohio Valley region the other day. November is by far the month that's changed the least over the past 3 or 4 decades, which is odd. It might just be a mean reversion type thing, however. If you look at older historical data, November had previously been one of the fastest warming months of the 20th century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to change by the hour, sometimes quite drastically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the record WPAC warm pool most other MJO 4-7 periods are warm. So November is the only real outlier month for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 July finished with a preliminary mean temperature of 79.7° in New York City. That was 2.2° above normal. Tomorrow will be variably cloudy. Some showers and thunderstorms are possible. Heat will likely return during the first week in August. The latest summer guidance continues to suggest a warmer to much warmer than normal summer lies ahead. The extended range guidance continues to suggest that August will likely be warmer than normal. However, there is a possibility that the second week of the month could feature a cool shot. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.7°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was 0.1°C for the week centered around July 24. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.48°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +0.27°C. Neutral ENSO conditions will likely evolve into a La Niña event during the early fall. The SOI was -23.33 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.407 today. This will be the last discussion until after mid-August. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
