Despite some people saying to ignore the La Niña and that “other drivers will determine this winter’s pattern” La Niña is definitely going to make her presence felt:
Yes. I saw someone mention that possibility on twitter, I forget who it was, but they mentioned a possible -WPO/poleward Aleutian ridge developing in December in response to the Niña forcing
That is why I don’t understand the proclamations that SE ridging isn’t going to happen. With eastern IO and Maritime Continent forcing, it’s going to rear its ugly head
That guy is a total joke. He posts and hypes the 384 hour operational GFS and the 700 hour CFS. Worse than JB and Henry Margusity. The pro mets rip him apart on twitter
It looks like a strong -EPO/+TNH pattern sets up mid-late month and probably into early December….question is does it have staying power beyond the beginning of December? It may depend on the MJO progression….
The models are getting stronger with the tropical system and the phasing with the Great Lakes shortwave coming across. I have a feeling this is going to turn into a really big event next Saturday. Possible high wind and heavy rain impact
There is no narrative. If the new Euro seasonal is correct, anywhere south of New England is done, finished, say goodnight and goodbye. That is fact, not opinion, not a troll, not a guess
I know you don’t put much stock into models and neither do I, but the new Euro seasonal is really ugly for Jan and Feb, the real “winter” month may be December like you have been suggesting (i.e. 2000/20001):
