Well, it doesn't have to be warm, but its not a stock cold pattern like it is later in the season.
I agree it shouldn't be too warm with the higher heights near AK all else equal...would be a welcome change.
Nothing good IMO....gonna be an uphill battle with descending solar and high geomagnetic energy. Better hope we cash in this season and maaaaaybe next season because it will get lean for a few years IMO.
12/5 is what I consider open climo on big dog climo for SNE....through to about 3/31. Save the puns about the pattern...I get that it sucks. This is strictly climo.
This actually better aligns with my preseason thoughts.....I was a bit worried that it could be a little colder than I had thought...could end up warmer by a bit...I had +1-3.
