2026-2027 Super El Nino
bluewave replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
My statement was correct. The winter of 2025-2026 was the 2nd warmest on record for the CONUS. While it’s difficult to find a perfect match, the forecasts were close to a 1994-1995 outcome which was the 12th warmest winter for the CONUS. I kept the scales in C for a direct comparison to the ECMWF forecast. https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/03/we-just-had-the-second-warmest-winter-in-u-s-history-despite-icy-blasts/ Rankings out West were much higher than the East Verification in C -
Central PA Summer 2026 Discussion/Obs Thread
Voyager replied to Voyager's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
I did as you suggested, and one in town about quarter mile away was 0.95". One in Hometown, perhaps a mile or so north was one inch exactly, and the USGS gauge, which is also about a quarter mile north of me along the river, (it measures river stage) was at 1.45". -
Top ten day. Surprised Adventureland isn’t more crowded

It's amazing how the rain just keeps dying as it gets close, then the temp shoots right back up to 99. 3 days of this BS

2026-2027 Super El Nino
LakePaste25 replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
This is true, but tropical convection isn’t decided by absolute SSTs alone. It’s relative to global mean tropical SSTs. Assuming the negative SSTAs materialize in the W pacific, the gradient between the negative SSTAs and the 30C waters shifted east of the dateline is what matters. You can’t really use 2016 or 2024 as an analog for this because such a gradient did not exist, and thus the convection was still present well west of the dateline. If the CFS does not materialize, and the W pac SSTAs are not below normal or closer to normal, then there’s a stronger argument for more persistent convection well west of the Dateline. -

The one difference from that forecast SST chart is how much warmer all the ocean basins are forecast to be than April 1998. -

Mid July ‘25 CFSv2 2m fcast for winter 25-6: 8/1/25 Euro 2m fcast for winter 25-6: Actual 2m for winter 25-6: So, these 2 were much too warm in the E US, pretty close central, and not nearly warm enough W, especially in/near Rockies. W coast though was fairly close. *Edited for typo -

It’s as if we are starting to see some of the higher end El Niños that weren’t forecast to repeat only a few years apart until later in this century. But the strength of the La Ninas hasn’t been really increasing. So this goes to show how much work we need to do on more accurate climate modeling. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-64619-0 -
2026 Mid-Atlantic Severe Storm General Discussion
canderson replied to Kmlwx's topic in Mid Atlantic
I have tickets to a show at Merriweather (in Columbia) Tuesday. I’m kinda planning ahead on not driving the 90 miles S only to get soaking wet and deal with delay after delay. If anyone might be interested in Death Cab for Cutie tickets shoot me a message and we’ll see what transpires Tuesday (hopefully this gets punted into Wednesday am … )- 1,169 replies

2026-2027 Super El Nino
LakePaste25 replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
The CFS is starting to catch on to the idea of this event running its course (just like 97-98) with W pac cool anomalies showing up. This would be the first time in over a decade that we’ve seen this to a significant degree. -
2026-2027 Super El Nino

Yes, this event is very east-based/EP just like 1997. In fact, 1997 is by far the best ENSO analog for this event -

2026-2027 Super El Nino
George001 replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
Yeah, this El Niño is developing like a stronger version of the 97-98 super Nino. -
Recon is out there now and no surprise there is a well defined LLC. Should help with future modeling.

Becoming more east based since June 15th with Nino 1+2 approaching +4 as these record WWBs keep coming. -
2026-2027 Super El Nino
George001 replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
I’m not sure why you got roasted for that. Imo, the base assumption for 27-28 should be a fairly powerful La Niña until proven otherwise. We haven’t had a strong La Niña since the 10-11 winter, but I would not be surprised at all if that changes come fall 2027. -
I know the AQI isn’t perfect with some wildfire smoke in the air but it is beautiful out today.

2026-2027 Super El Nino
snowman19 replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
Completely agree. IMO this is going to easily be the strongest super El Niño in history on the RONI and the traditional ONI for both peak and trimonthly average. I also think the August MEI goes above +2 and it would not surprise me at all if we tie or exceed the strongest MEI month on record sometime this fall or winter (*which I believe is +2.9 back during the 1982-83 super Niño*). I’m sure @GaWx has the actual MEI stats for that - Today

I think we’ve had that convo before, how close our parents are And that makes sense. My sister’s house off Edwin Raynor, north of 100 and Mountain Road, had a lot more damage with down trees and such.
