Well, to be fair, we've had a warm ENSO that acted like a cold ENSO, a torch el nino and triple dip la nina. I think he is very good, but just acts like a complete jerk with some sort of personality disorder(s).
3.4 remained steady at -0.8 at of 10/5. This event is running out of time pretty quickly to even peak as a bonafide moderate event, especially if it decays as quickly as guidance suggests.
I'm sure it won't be, like 99 out of 100 "severe" threats around here. I'll go waaaaaay out on a limb and guess that the storms will be more ominous through the Berkshires and into the ORH hills, and then weaken markedly as they descend the spine and onto the coastal plane. I haven't labored through any CAPE maps, but just a wild shot in the dark....
My reading comp isn't perfect by any means, but the post seems to be implying reason for pause with respect to wholesale changes, as guidance has been exhibiting a -PNA bias and the NAO looks to dip decidedly negative.
I have no issue with ORH, but would prefer December. I have a bunch of bdays in Novie, including my own, plus I'll be hammering out the outlook early on.
Its like that scene from Tommy Boy, when he explains how he gets too excited and kills the sale/deal...that is the met community with respect to new seasonal forecasting tools like the SAI. lol
Society today is so geared towards instant gratification, which fuels this incessant crusade for that "silver bullet" with respect to seasonal forecasting that just doesn't exist. Its a puzzle and you try to gather as much info in order to properly fit as many pieces as you can in order to provide the clearest and most accurate picture.
