IronTy Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 What's the look forward in the drought? We had some good snow this month but didn't really make much dent in the drought. My caterpillars dont do well in drought conditions and last summer was rough in that department. I'm hoping we start getting some rains. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisy Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 It’s kind of funny, if I woke up from a coma and you showed me just this map I’d think a major snowstorm was coming… just a bad airmass going in and low gets squashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbmclean Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 So a warm period the first week of Feb looks highly likely barring some major modeling collapse (wouldn't it be nice if the warm pattern collapsed like last years epic pattern collapsed?) Looks like the crystal ball is very murky after that. As @psuhoffman has pointed out, historical analogs say a flip back to cold would be expected by the end of February into March. The real question as I see it is what happens the period of say Feb 10 - 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormchaserchuck1 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 La Nina was a late bloomer this year. ENSO subsurface cold didn't get going until late December.
