IAD bottoming out at 33F for a third morning in a row.
*Correction: IAD hit 33F both Tuesday morning and before 5:00 utc Wednesday which counts as two 33F readings for Tuesday. IAD was 34F for a low between 5z Wed and 4:59z Thursday. This morning IAD hit 33F.
Tues: 33F
Wed: 34F
Thu: 33F
With the obvious caveats (It's October and ssts can and will change, other things such as MJO etc. can drive the winter pattern more than other factors, etc.) aside, I don't particularly hate the current SST anomaly configuration in the northeastern Pacific (165W-120W).
Tomorrow loosely reminds me of a poor man's June 16, 2008 and July 27, 2014 when looking at the trough and SLP track. Should current trends hold, I wouldn't be too surprised to see a smaller SLGT show up somewhere in the region or nearby.
