Modeling showed an epic blocking pattern for February until it abruptly collapsed 10 days before it was supposed to start.

People here look at Pittsburg and the Alleghenies and extrapolate that weather magically changes as soon as you cross the Mason Dixon. Look at the philly forum and a lot of times they're dealing with the same patterns as us. It holds in winter too if there's been a lack of Miller B's.

It's a month long respite that's about to end. Modeling was showing a wet September before abruptly collapsing last week.

I don't know, the Philadelphia area is often in a drought pattern when we're in one too.

I've asked around since June and first the niño precip change was supposed to be later in the summer, then it was September, then it was October, now it's late October if we're lucky. It just keeps getting can kicked.

Unbelievable, half of October got punted... Are we really going to get rug pulled instead of the niño kicking in?

DC reached 98 in the first week of October 2019. Several years within the last decade have had 80s well into October, sometimes for an entire week in the latter half. November 2024 also had an 80 degree day.

I wonder if someone should do a max high temperature contest similar to the snowfall contest.

But lake effect snow never makes it over the Alleghenies.

Until we get a week of 80s in mid October.

This will send you down a rabbit hole

This map is more fitting on the Philly forum.

I just don't understand how a modeled wetter pattern can completely and utterly collapse in a matter of days. If this niño fails to deliver is this the new normal now? I thought climate change meant more rain for this region...

When is it going to be our turn?
