  1. Yea, it probably won't be record setting....not intending to imply it's a physical implausibility. I get how anomalous this is...could also be a record deal nationally, but not in any one region.
  2. John, how do you feel about last winter's early season warming? I know there was some skepticism there as well, and it ultimately (at least partially) led to a colder turn in January. I'm not trying to gaslight you or anything, either...honest inquiry, as the stat stuff is often so complicated and ambiguous.
  3. Absolutely 100%...this is what I was trying to explain to Forky. The pattern will still suck, but it won't be record setting.
  4. Not a torch, per se...but not a good look, either....really no avenue for cold to get here.
  5. In the seasonal mean? No....I don't think so. I mean, technically speaking, it's basin-wide now, but I would certainly consider it heavily eastern biased...it will probably grow somewhat more evenly distributed around mid season before perhaps collapsing back eastward early next spring.
  6. No, it's not going to turn into a Modoki...I agree that that is laughable at this point.
  7. Yes, that is the dual forcing I have been alluding to...it's from about 130-150 degrees longitude....I think early on, the eastern node will dominate, then we will see more variability beginning beyond the ides of January, as that western node starts to constructively interfere with some other aspects at higher latitudes in addition to ENSO perhaps leaking westward a bit overall/weakening at that juncture.
  8. I'm not sure it should be drier than 1997-98....stronger El Niño plus CC...I agree December will probably be warmer than 1997, but after that it's pretty iffy.
  9. CC is one factor, but we lack the MC contribution that 2015 had, which accentuated the warmth.
  10. Yes, this is more east based at the surface then 2015, no one world argue otherwise.
  11. 95 faded west...it was more east-based, pretty much evenly distributed at peak.
  12. Don't agree with what? I said December wouldn't be as warm as 2015.
  13. -PDO for different reasons, though...which is important down the line IMO.
  14. I actually had 1981 as an analog, so I wasn't suprised by the early warming last year...I just didn't think it would end up as a full reversal..it was close.
  15. Looks like 1982-83 to me...totally reasonable.
  16. Never made sense...the guys on social media calling for "wild weather" ahead in November maybe right for the wrong reason...wildly pleasant weather.
  17. DE-FENCE----CLAP-CLAP-CLAP.....DE-FENCE-CLAP-CLAP-CLAP
  18. That should lock in through December and much of January.
  19. I high doubt we see the full reversal, but would be interesting.
