Great day out there today, already 57 here
-
There's no really cool air anywhere....we're still above normal even with the blocking.
-
Even with a -NAO we're plus 4....LOL
-
Still clear down this way but winds have been picking up all day -
gloomy? It's clear out.
-
and a La Nina-could be very active.
-
Seems like there is less cold this year though-I'm wondering if I've had my last freeze already. SST's in the western ATL are well above normal so even with the onshore flow it likely won't be as bad as last year which had a cold pool off the NE coast....
-
winds have been increasing here all morning-can also see the cloud deck off to the east slowing moving westward
-
I've learned that if it doesn't come by late January it's generally not coming....you have a couple lucky outliers but for the most part we're toast if the pattern change doesn't arrive by then
-
some including him using analogs from colder times, oceans were colder etc. What worked in the winter of 60-61 is not applicable for today's baseline....
-
yep, it was time to mail it in when that happened. Models never showed anything but warmth and rain from that point on....
-
Would be nice if they would shorten the season going forward but it won't happen. 162 games is crazy

Given that we saw 70's in January, Jan/Feb/Mar were +5 or better-nothing would shock me. Just no cold air anywhere here since December.
-
That may come shortly-once this NAO block breaks down there's alot of heat from TX to GA/FL just waiting to come northeast
-
Gulf of Mexico and Western Atlantic Oceans are warmer than average. Hard to fight that off too
-
trending less negative...now averaging 1 to 1.5 SD below normal which is not a strong -NAO
-
another warm bust. forecast high here 60, currently 64
-
That's only b/c the PV is breaking up-we had zero chance of a -AO or -NAO this winter with the uber strong PV
-
I think that could be the big difference from last year to this year along with the warm water off the coast (vs the cold water of last year) Of course we could get caught in a squeeze play b/w the ridge and the -NAO and end up with a rainy pattern.
-
Still looks like a strong SE Ridge on that map....
-
heavy rain and 34 here
-
had a period of snow here but has since turned to light rain
-
Hopefully the SE ridge can fight it off somewhat...plus we have warmer SST's off the east coast-last year there was a cold pool of water off the NE coast so when that onshore flow kicked in it was cold and nasty
-
This year it probably has to do with the uber strong PV breaking down...
