Yes, but you keep neglecting the fact that did in fact begin severely east-based. No, the stratospheric conditions were different due to the QBO (west this year and 1982, east in 1997) and the solar cycle (high and descending this year and 1982 as opposed to low and ascending in 1997), which is not impacted by ENSO. No guidance forecasts the warm pool to near the Mexican coast....if you have anything that does, then by all means...present it. Could it make it further east than all guidance currently depicts, sure....not I doubt it's off by that much.

still raining some here but mostly over. About 1.75 storm total. Happy to miss the bigger amts seen elsewhere

What a complete soaker….congrats to those that are pushing 8-10”…that’s impressive. By the time it’s done we should be in the 4” range here.

.4” overnight and into this morning. 2.5” on the storm. Still light rain/misting this morning.

Man ...that 3.4 is astounding really. Just a cursory evaluation and comparison of these curves, https://climatereanalyzer.org/clim/sst_daily/?dm_id=nino3.4 .. what sets this year apart is that every curve there, other than the present year's ongoing ... demoed a period of downward trajectory between mid spring to early autumns. One can make that out just eyeballing, but if you looked at May1 to September15-ish period trend lines, even 2015 was slightly negative during that span of time. Otherwise, they were more demonstratively so. Yet, the 3.4 has risen the entire time... straight through what one can only surmise was/is a climate normal behavior for an intermediate nadir. So, for first time at least among these years since 2008 there was no intermediate negative recovery. I wonder if this would be so for all years - It's a nuance ob but it's true nonetheless. The other obvious elephant in this picture is that this 3.4 is like that jet at a memorial fly by that peals away toward the heavens.. I just find that specific aspect about the trend line since May 1/summer behavior to be interesting for unique behavior.

Up to 1.37" for the storm and 5.79" for the month. The radar indicates I should pass 6" for September.

1.3.

The east based nature of 1982-1983 backed off during the winter relative to 1997-1998. The stratospheric conditions were related to the different nature of the ENSO forcing between both those seasons. The Central Pacific warm pool has already shifted the farthest to the east it has ever been. This is only expected to increase in the coming months.

it's raining

Did your neighbor get his acorns cleaned up before the naw'easter arrived?

Ouch. Looks like you were just a little too far north and east. 0.83 + 2.45 = 3.28" event total

There is a reason why 2023 had MC forcing despite having record anomalies in region 4.....warm pool was in the west Pac. This year, record anomalies are over eastern ENSO, but the warm pool is in the western half of ENSO. Look at where the seasonal models place the forcing...no shock.

Put your rain pants on and sneak around yards

1982 was very east-based early in the season, as well. The forecast is more east-based in terms of SSTs mid-season, but I don't know how much that will matter given the warm pool in the central Pacific. A large reason why 1997 was better early and 1982 was better later was the stratosphere.

My guess on Friday before this got going was just under 2" in total here, but I should sneak just over that.

1.43” since it began

0.58" Pretty infuriating given models had 2-3", but where then revised to 1-2", so likely won't even hit 1". not going to do much.

Plenty of missing data before 2000 at MPO including no observations at all from the record 93-94 winter in NEPA. The column on the right is total number of missing days for each year. Notice how this recent period since 2000 is the most complete. But since there is no contract snowfall observer at MPO, we have to look to the surrounding areas volunteer snowfall observations. The older observations prior to the airport being build in the early 1960s may have been at a different altitude than the airport due to where the coop observers in the area lived. So some of the warm records could have been from a lower altitude.

Lost power here early Sunday morning when wind was at its strongest, came back on during the middle of last night. A large tree fell thru the wires and onto a house on my street, everyone is ok. Had 3.21 inches of rain.

What day is that? And can we quote you for credit when we get there?

Fay is one of the longest lasting storms that failed to reach hurricane intensity I can remember. We’re into the 30’s on NHC advisories. If that convection persists there’s a chance it retains storm status today too

^Thanks. Here is this morning’s NOAA weekly update for relative (for those who don’t know, this much better takes into account GW and thus became the official way of measuring by NOAA a good while ago) Nino anomalies for the average of last week compared to the avg for the prior week: this shows 1+2 still at +3.9 and the other 3 having warmed 0.1. Below that are the comparable weeks in 1997 and 1982: 16SEP2026 3.9 3.0 2.1 0.0 23SEP2026 3.9 3.1 2.2 0.1 24SEP1997 3.8 2.7 1.8 0.5 (the most E based prior to 2026) 22SEP1982 1.5 2.1 2.0 0.6 Compared to past years for the same week, 1+2 region’s +3.9 remains at its highest (weekly records back to 1981) for the 2nd week in a row, beating 1997’s +3.8. Next Monday’s release will likely be the 3rd week in a row at its highest. Nino 3’s +3.1 is its 2nd week in a row of being at a high with it easily beating 1997’s +2.7. Nino 3.4’s +2.2 beats 1982’s +2.0 for the warmest for that week and is its 3rd week in a row at a high. Nino 4’s +0.1 is way cooler than the other regions and also is significantly cooler than many years thus showing how much more E based 2026 is vs any other year on record as of late Sept including the prior most E based 1997: 1994 +0.9 1986 +0.8 2019 +0.7 2002 +0.7 2006 +0.6 2004 +0.6 2023 +0.5 1997 +0.5 https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/data/indices/rel_wksst9120.txt @bluewave@OSUmetstud@40/70 Benchmark
