I keep saying it, we need a 2-3 year El Nino to even out. A strong El Nino, would in the 500mb pattern, be like 72-73 next Winter, alone. +2.8c-+3.0c> would be the only way we do that +PNA/GOA low like 97-98,etc.
We'll do at best Moderate El Nino. I don't even know if it will be El Nino at all because of rising/ascending solar phase underperforming historically favors La Nina. April-May may see a blip in Nino 3,3.4 to +0.3/+0.4 something like that. If there is an El Nino wave it will happen in August.. 09-10 might be a good analog for next Winter, although it was an awkward Winter.
-PNA might not build as strong, but I'm excited for a good, healthy +NAO.. can't see it happening now with +PNA after 2 straight. maybe the whole modeled pattern will be wrong, or main indexes change.
Yeah, we had some good -NAOs build early in the season but it didn't last. I was noticing how 22 straight -NAO's, the mean for them was a + departure anyway.
Not really any chance for anything for a while here.
This is really bad.
+NAO/+EPO moving in tomorrow overperforms, then we flirt with 60s down the road it looks like.
