2026-2027 Strong/Super El Nino
roardog replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
So does a Modoki just have to have lower anomalies in 3 and 1+2 than in 3.4 and 4 or does 1+2 need to be negative? I feel like that’s the same scenario just opposite. -

What are your latest thoughts? You’re definitely one of the least biased and more knowledgeable posters here. Always appreciate you giving your thoughts -

A true east based Nino should have near zero or negative anomalies in Nino 4 correct? I’ll believe that when I see it. I believe Nino 4 had a big drop off in June 1997. Let’s see if that happens this year. -

My memory might be failing me but I think 1997 was the year of the November snowstorm bust here. We had a winter storm warning for 6-10 inches for the next day. By morning the warning was dropped and the forecast was for 1-3 inches. We never got a flake. It was all down toward you. -

Yeah. All of that is going to happen plus fish will be living out of water and mosquitos will bite themselves. It’s going to be crazy!! -
I think in 1896 they were placing the thermometers too close to the roads and would give false warm readings from horses walking by and farting. The climate records are all ruined!!!

I’d be all for summer discussion in this thread too but there isn’t much interest in that. -
There’s been plenty of rain the last few years to keep the lawn mostly green but it’s not like it’s that unusual historically for a lawn around here to turn yellow and dry in the summer. This isn’t Scotland. lol

Yeah. I probably shouldn’t have even responded to him as it’s just derailing another thread. He’s either being a troll or intentionally obtuse.

This all started because you said the cool early in the month was transient. instead of admitting you were wrong, you go on some ridiculous tirade about how warm March and April were and how warm the western US was last winter. WTF does any of that have to do with this month having below normal temperatures?

These guys are talking about atmospheric responses like WWB,MJO,SOI, etc. I don’t think anyone here disagrees with any of this. Posters like Bluewave and Chuck are talking about the pattern over the North Pacific and or North America not being completely Nino like. I’m still not even sure why we should even be expecting a strong Nino response right now since the RONI is at like +.5 -
2015-2016 had some big snowstorms here. Once upon a time there was a map posted here that showed that once you cross into super Nino threshold that we actually start to get above normal winter precip. The worst part of a Nino around here is the tendency for dryness. Even the weaker ones where we get below normal temperatures have a tendency to be dry. If super Nino can get us above normal precip, I would take that any day over a garbage non Nino winter like 01-02 or 11-12.

I know 1982 had the super warm Christmas but those real torchy high temperatures actually occur more in a Nina when the southern US is warm and the SE ridge bulges north. People wanting that outcome will probably be disappointed when the Nino delivers a barrage of days that are cloudy, windy and in the 30s.

Who cares about Philadelphia or what happened in Chicago in March and April? You said the cool early this month was transient and here it is May 26 and I’m running about 4 degrees below normal on the month. That isn’t exactly transient cool.
