2026-2027 Super El Nino
40/70 Benchmark replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
This isn't going to be cold in the mean like 2002.....too much warmth too far east for that. I think we can get some brutal cold, but it will be fleeting, like 2016 and 1983. -

40/70 Benchmark replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
Yes, I was about to mention that....1997-1998 had that on display during -NAO, too. -NAO buys the coast a shot with marginal airmass and favorable storm track. -

09-10 was the warmest Winter on record for Canada. It was also the most -NAO Winter since the 1800s. We had plenty of cold air down here, although the Pacific was favorable. NPH area -

BTW, -AO/-NAO doesn't have to mean cold, either...and this is just the type of season where I could see that happening. If Canada is wiped out, all an NAO block will do is trap stale, maritime air underneath it. We will need time to build the source region during any jet retractions. -
It won’t be long then until the stores start rolling out the Christmas decorations.

Ended up with 0.29 inches late yesterday and last night. Refreshing today! -

This is the one that I used but your's is probably better. Walker Cycle Serves to Budget Solar Energy Focused Near the Equator by upwelling Cooler Subsurface Water and Distributing it Westward via Easterly trade Winds -

Yea, can only work with what we have. I don't care to get into pre 1950 analogs. -
Fairly certain there is still a human element involved that can adjust the output from their use of AI/ML

^Yeah just keep in mind that double digit number of anlogs, and if you break it down to 3 types of ENSO events maybe a handful or two of examples... is just not very many statistically speaking. especially since I think there are larger scale global cycles that happen too (this current time period is not the same as a lot of 50-00 years imo). -

Oh, yea...no doubt.....it's very clear in my break down of Hadley Cell placement per Modiki Index. -
Major hurricanes can still happen if conditions are right aka Andrew in 92. Models are more bullish with this now too.

Another day of near misses. .12

You can see from my correlation maps above where it's centered, very near the North Pacific High max -

40/70 Benchmark replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
Yea, I mean in general....no relevance to this season, though ...although I don't think it's as clear cut as many do for other reasons. -
IIRC, any forecast beyond D3 now is straight AI/auto generated with minimal input from forecasters. If I am wrong, someone please correct me.

Of course +QBO this Winter evens that tendency out. -

Hurricane Agnes replied to PhiEaglesfan712's topic in Philadelphia Region
I was wondering what happened when my GR2Analyst stopped updating yesterday. I eventually switched to KDOX. I ended up at 87 for a high after a 69 low and only picked up 0.34" total from 2 rounds yesterday . Today was like day and night with the dp drop... actually tolerable. High was 82 after a 69 low and smoke mostly cleared out. Currently mostly sunny and 80 with dp 60. -
Spain wins the World Cup giving up exactly 1 goal the entire tournament. I don't think I've ever seen a defensive showing like that before.

Is this the Walker Cycle? -
2026-2027 Super El Nino
40/70 Benchmark replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
This is somewhat anecdotal, but the fact that 1997-1998 was extremely east-based and wasn't a severely +NAO supports your postulation. -
2026-2027 Super El Nino
Stormchaserchuck1 replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
I just think the difference between west and east-based may be a little exaggerated because of NAO domain El Nino by itself supports warm Stratosphere, which over like hundreds of years is net -NAO I think for east and west based, although slight -
2026-2027 Super El Nino
40/70 Benchmark replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
I just went through the numbers on the intense composite, which is mostly east-based....it's like .67 NAO for DJFM...nothing obscene. AO is is just about neutral. -
yeah it's looked like that for awhile. The numerical teleconnectors suggest -PNA/+EPO with eastern limb -NAO from 24th + ... if folks want to get into the 2nd of the 3 typical heat periods summers ever give us around here, that looks to be a good time for #2 - albeit late. 3rd'll have to be later August but by then ...we're past solar max so we get cheated in New England as usual. LOL but anything to continue being colder relative to everywhere else while still registering warmer than normal, a leitmotif that's had one or two exceptions by has been predominating our monthly results since last summer really when I began keeping track of the sneaking butt boning
