Maybe that's good news. The last few years with cold/snow in November led to a torch/snowless winter.
At least the pattern looks different for once.
Of course it could end up like 11/12 where every month torches.
That's pretty much a given. Very good chance it ends up much stronger than forecast.
In addition ensembles show an additional Caribbean storm or two in the days ahead. I think an ACE above 160 is very likely when all is said and done.
We're really feeling the AGW effects now.
It seems as though 2015/2016 was a tipping point with the mega Nino. I think every winter from this point on will be warm/wet or warm/dry.
Snow will be unlikely but not impossible as years like 2016/2017 could still happen.
However this year will likely be another 2011/2012 style winter.
To its credit it did spot the phase and curl NW into Canada that models are now catching onto.
Hopefully it plays out that way as it will likely generate massive swells just offshore.
Euro seems pretty convinced of that cutoff and blocking high. There's also a clear SW trend with the cutoff.
I don't think Teddy will get that far west because of how far east it is to begin with but it's an intriguing setup nonetheless.
Something could develop off the SE coast next week under the large high in the northeast.
Models hinting that could become a coastal storm or subtropical storm as it moves north.
This sucker is poised to be a major (3rd after Paulette) and I have zero doubt it'll impact the US eventually but all those island interactions will complicate things.
That would be the one to watch. The other one near Bermuda should be a nice wave maker if it gets to major status.
PNA expected to tank which means strong ridging building out east.
