It wouldn’t surprise me if some areas get into the 70’s on Sunday

Yep and there’s no -NAO/-AO blocking to stop it (ridge/warmth coming east) either

Eric Webb is gung ho on a super El Niño. All in. Even Paul Roundy is getting bullish on one. This should be an interesting one to see develop. One thing is for sure, regardless of strength, this one is at least going to develop as a very east-based/East Pacific event. The question then becomes does it stay east-based or go basin-wide?

After what was basically wall to wall arctic cold from the end of November into the first couple of days of March, I’d say the overwhelming majority of people in the east are ready for spring now. The Equinox is only 4 days away

We basically had wall to wall arctic cold from late November into the 1st couple of days of March. We had major snowstorms starting in December, a record breaking blizzard and months of constant snow cover. Also had frozen over lakes for months. By far and away the best winter since 2014-15. I can’t believe people are actually upset that it’s ending

Just 13 days away at the end of March….and on an operational model….what could possibly go wrong?? Lol

They absolutely have, you even admitted it in the ENSO thread @cmillzz

The models have already begun to back off the blocking

Letting my Pivotalwx subscription expire tonight. Not worth paying for it anymore. I’ll renew it again in mid-November like I normally do

Thankfully normal highs are well in the 50’s in the NYC metro area now that we’re in spring, so those depicted negative departures are not actually “cold”

300+ hour snowmap on the op GFS at the end of March. That deserves a double bun!! lmfaoooooo

Is the Spring Equinox going to get delayed on Friday?

As of yesterday, we now have a September sun angle. Climo is now fully in spring mode and length of day increases exponentially this month…..

It’s all hypothetical speculation at this point. Long, long way to go before we can say with any confidence if this is going to be a super El Niño event or not. Then, if (IF) it does in fact become a super event….is it east-based (82-83, 97-98)? Or basin-wide (15-16)? Paul Roundy is extremely confident that this El Niño at least STARTS as an east-based event regardless of strength, where it goes from there is anyone’s guess right now…..
