1.39” pleasantly surprised

Bring it! Will be nice to take hour walks in the morning without dripping buckets of sweat.

I think I see why. Looking at the upper left of each plot, the jet is further north in the new vs old. So instead of buckling southward into western US, it goes over the top of NW Canada promoting a ridge there. Big changes downstream.

And part of the problem with 22-23 was the timing of those favorable patterns. They happened outside of our peak winter window. Had they occurred in Jan and Feb instead of Dec and Mar, the outcome would probably not have been a ratter like it was.

Agree. While I may not agree with all parts of it, it's not as hype-y as the title may suggest.

Cosigned. -PDO actually starting to reverse

Low of 56. Now 79/57, spectacular day for shopping at the farmers market.

Euro monthlies come on the 5th of every month.

Daily pdo from WCS: I’m watching the pdo too. Right now it’s in the gutter, but based on last year’s pattern, we still have about 2 maybe 3 months to turn it around.

Was checking the cfs and euro monthlies, and both show hints of AK ridging (-epo) which would lead to a winter like last season. With the QBO going negative, it might not be a bad thing. We'll see if this holds because otherwise without that AK ridging given all other factors, we may not have much of a winter to look forward to. So far there's a hint of optimism.

What caught my attention more than temps is this. Hard to bet on any major coastals if cansips is onto something like it was last year.

Sorry, Ashburn VA

Pouring. Lots of lightning, minimal wind. 3.40”/hr peak rain rate, 1” in 30 min

Narrator: Nothing happened.

Will be interesting to see how the outflows from the i-95 storms interact those coming out of the west.
