DT sucked again, too.
Forecasting extreme anomalies is risky...I pulled it off in February 2018, but it needs to be a big signal. I wasn't as confident of an extremely warm mid season, this year, but I was warm with a quick and proficient PV recovery after the fast start. I felt there was the chance of a less hostile arctic/atlantic regime setting up late, but that looks dubious now.
I was all over the RNA.
Decent forecast for me, but a crap ending will put a dent into it.
