@griteaterLove your stuff, man...you have to be my #1 source for outlook graphics lol -
El Nino 2023-2024
40/70 Benchmark replied to George001's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
Looked to me like most of the deeply negative NAO seasons were ascending shortly after solar min. -
1957 is great from an ENSO and solar standpoint, but I think it will be a little less blocky on average....the huge difference is the extra tropical Pacific....this is why I like 1965 better. 1957-1958 is the best solar analog, though....ascending damn near max.

If we get to mid January with a Vin Diesl PV, then I will be worried. However, I am confident that that will not be the case.

Could be later.

Yes, and I have....at very, very great length. -

Check out the three super el Nino events....++PDO. No coincidence...probably why 1972 was held in check, at least to a degree. -

Eh...to a point. However, the PDO can either constructively or deconstructivity interfere with ENSO when they are not in sync. Its part of the overarching system that is keeping this event in check. -

I Could see January going either way.....I also don't think December will be a disaster, but not great. -
Definitely hybrid/basin-wide, and those have a high degree of variance. Its actually one of the better EMI analogs, but it was much better coupled and evolved far differently in the polar domain than I expect this year to...due to differences with respect to volcanic eruptions, solar cycle and degree of el Nino expression.

Yea, I mentioned a cool down near the end of the month in the Outlook, but it should be transient. "Before entering phase two with a potential slight cool down to close out the month". -

JMA lends confidence to the consensus IMO...its like having the ensemble mean pointing in a favorable direction when the OP is a bit more precarious. -
El Nino 2023-2024
40/70 Benchmark replied to George001's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
I expect a VOLATILE PNA that biases slightly + and a volatile polar domain that biases slightly negative....not wall-to-wall arctic. But I think all of this volatility will ensure that winter is not boring. You want teleconnections in flux to get big storms....not a -3SD PV queefing on your face all season. -

40/70 Benchmark replied to George001's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
I agree with you about being skeptical on how good the Pacific looks on the JMA.....I don't expect that. But I do buy the seasonal consensus. Its not blind adherence....these models are meant to be used as GUIDANCE and I have done days and days of research that has validated what they are showing. Maybe they and I am wrong again....I do not think that is the case, but if it is, I will learn from it. -
El Nino 2023-2024
40/70 Benchmark replied to George001's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
We are obviously in a cool Pacific paradigm that mutes the influence of warm ENSO events....I'm not sure why you expect the same result when a "strong" one is partially negated as when a marginal one is entirely negated. -

I can live without having my pipes frozen.....29 and S+ works for me. -
El Nino 2023-2024
40/70 Benchmark replied to George001's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
That el Nino was a virtual no-show.....I think if anything, this one is also overestimated, which would work to our advantage. It isn't apples to apples....you can't just roll the same situation forward and expect the same result. I honestly think some of you guys have like warm winter PTSD. -

I buy what he says about being cautious on a truly cold eastern winter, but I see no reason why we aren't normalish DM with good snows. -

The first part I agree with, but the second part is completely stilly and and an emotional vent on your part. -

That isn't happening again to the same degree that it did that year. Is the JMA overzealous? Maybe...but there will be no repeat of 2018-2019. -

Phil, if I get porked again this year, I will be unhinged...I just can't take anymore of it. -
Referring to this event as east-based is akin to calling for snow in DC with an H85 low of Hagerstown just because the surface low is off of the coast. DT would verbally violate you and he should in this case.
