Assuming the depicted -NAO blocking in the long range is actually real (big if) that’s probably when “something” happens winter wx wise, assuming the EPO doesn’t go very positive or the PNA very negative. There have just been so many phantom -NAO blocks in the long range that never materialize over the last several winters, it’s hard to believe it, unless it actually moves forward in time and doesn’t just stay in the long range
Suppression is always the risk with a strong -EPO pattern. It looks like tropical forcing goes to the eastern IO and Maritime Continent at the end of this month for awhile. It should allow for a mild up for a bit then the question becomes what comes after?
Take a look at his twitter. It’s honestly painful, just unreal. All the pro mets rip him apart. I’ve finally found someone worse than JB and Henry Margusity, I didn’t think it was actually possible but that clown takes the cake, hands down
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
