Spring 2025 Medium/Long Range Discussion


Chicago Storm

Recommended Posts

Hoping the one later next week has less moisture issues and can at least pull off a respectable cold-core  :twister:potential somewhere in the region. So much funny stuff has happened in that department in this region absurdly early in the season in recent years (from two consecutive years with a March Iowa EF4 to a 26-mile EF2 in Wisconsin on February 8th) it's almost become an expectation. This week's system was a bit of a reality check.

Can you please translate for us weather dummies!!!

The GEFS have been superb in handling the MJO over the past 1-2 months, whereas the EPS have struggled quite a bit.

So, talking on a pure MJO based view of things... If we can round the bend through phases 4-5-6, it would bode well for those looking for a relatively active pattern and consistent spring conditions. Phase 6 still runs a high above average temp correlation for this time of year, for example. Phases 5-6 are supportive of an active/wetter pattern as well.

Now the one thing to watch will be what happens with the SPV up north. There is full on support of sudden and significant warming set to occur soon, with also quite a bit of support at this being an early seasonal demise of the SPV. So, we will have to watch and see what sort of high latitude blocking tries to develop as a result of the initial impact on things, and how it may affect things and work with/against the MJO progression.

mjo moving phases and ssw incoming.

potentially more active, cold, and stormier around here (chicago) later into March.

(am a weather dummy also, hopefully the professor is proud but prepared for my lashes)

It looks to stay continued up and down.

I wouldn't say any lasting/consistent or noteworthy cold is on the horizon.
