Agreed. By March you're quickly heading into spring/summer or at least it feels that way.
Though more often than not the weather frequently reminds you it's still March.
I didn't quite get that with that post. Usually the warm weather posts are much more overt.
This one did mention the east coast trough at least and subsequent storm signal
Well we may have blocking in December this year which should help as long as the Pacific isn't a complete dumpster fire like last year
MJO going to 7 to end November and then slow down but there are some hints it could go to 8.
Ensembles looking pretty decent for December. Notice -AO trending stronger everyday
Could be a few mild days in there too. Agree with snowman that snowy pattern will have to wait until AO blocking materializes.
Record -EPO favors cold/dry most likely but the brunt of the cold is to our west and some SE ridging will keep a gradient so some storminess wouldn't surprise me
With high amplitude MJO expected to traverse phases 7-8 to start December and AO going negative odds are better than normal for a cold/snowy December
Nina climo is also generally favorable for Dec as well.
Pretty sure it is the warmest 1st two weeks of November or in the top 3 at least.
Going from a +12 to +15 anomaly from November 1-12 to a -5 to -10 will be a major shock to many
Think there's some warmup end of November or early December before next chill down.
Looks like a high amplitude MJO passage into 7 which should ignite Atlantic blocking
GFS with an interesting system on the 18th. Interior snows wouldn't surprise me.
Also with record -EPO and Greenland blocking trending stronger I wouldn't be surprised to see the low end up further south.
