The purpose of me posting a picture of an operational GFS run at hour 300+ wasn’t to troll. I fully understand it is completely unreliable. I meant to post it here concerning the extreme rarity with which we have seen west coast ridging and a southeast trough this winter. Truth is we’ve seen a western trough dominating several winters despite the ENSO state. Some have theorized this relates to the PDO. Thats all I was trying to say. .
Well…sorry to disappoint you. I think you’ll be ok. Also, this is a discussion forum and not a fiefdom. I’d welcome and learn more from your critique or correction than from a visceral response. .
Will be interesting to see if Chicago beats the record high today followed by a 50° tumble. Curious what’s the biggest temperature change in a 24 hour period? I assume that record is safe. .
12z mesoscale models a mixed bag for Chicago area on Wednesday. Any thoughts? I guess it depends on how much moisture to work with once we get cold enough. .
DT from WeatherRisk is not bullish on a mid March pattern change with the MJO going into the neutral circle during colder phases. Putrid patterns persist. .
Been reading much much more than I post and thankful to many folks here like for sharing their knowledge. It seems the pacific does have a major bearing on our winter and the PDO has significant long term effects (albeit with debate). Please correct me if I’m wrong (but preferably with a little less snark [emoji6])
