40/70 Benchmark

Winter is going to be mild...let's get that out of the way....but at least a basin-wide deal like 2015 allowed for a couple of wintry intervals, and maybe if it's a somewhat weaker version we can get away with a bit more. That's all I mean when I say "weaker"...I'm not trying to be one to those social medaiologists that are getting roasted by snowman on twitter.

I could see a somewhat weaker version of that.

It looks like a weaker El Nino....I would toss that for now.

What does it look like in the ENSO region?

@bluewaveLooks to me like the Pac jet was up to it's old tricks again in March, as the blocking for met winter abated and the MJO, albeit largely favorable, remained weak.

Yea, I could buy some vestige of it remaining, but it's probably overdone.

Ask the White House...

Ironically enough, the MJO actually spend a lot of time in phase 8 the latter half of the month.

MAGA Make Analysis Great Again.

WTF.....going to refrain from anything that could be conceived as political discourse, but I have my opinions as to whom the ire should be directed.

I have noticed....so we don't have means to plot H5 beyond March 17, 2026 for now?

Where are we going for daily H5 charts now that this site is no longer updating? https://psl.noaa.gov/data/composites/day/ This site is fine for temps and precip. https://prism.oregonstate.edu/comparisons/anomalies.php

Probably historic charts intended as an April's Fool's homeage.

It did well last year. I was skeptical it would end up that cold. Interesting to see how it does this year.

Back in the market?
