    Might suppress atlantic basin activity (again) as we go into September

    Mostly but not always. Dec 2002 was good. Good question, though. I’ll check IAD data when I get back home

    Great writeup @40/70 Benchmark. Just one little nitpicky thing - you used a temp graph from 2007-08 when talking about 2006-07. Might want to swap them out.

    For it to not be backloaded, the forcing would have to stay west. Like where it is now, and stay there for the next 7 months

    One thing I noticed in the weekly cpc enso updates is that their model sst forecast graphics have consistently showed the WPAC cooling into the autumn, and then warming back up into the winter months. If it pans out like this, I wouldn’t be surprised to see VP/forcing migrate to the east into fall (watch the forum write this winter off as another ratter)… and then migrate back west. Could mean a torchy first half with an interesting second backloaded half.

    0.92” on today! More than I expected
  7. Terpeast
    Pouring!

    Models seem to be doubling down on dateline forcing and active STJ. If it were April, I’d be dismissive. But now that it’s August, it’s probably time to start paying attention

    Luckily my area wasn’t as bad as northern MD, l’ve seen a few trees and a street lamp down in my neighborhood. That’s enough to justify the watch, had the wind been a few mph stronger that might have had been enough to cause a lot more damage

    My hypothesis is that with CC and warmer SSTs overall, ninas will become stronger (relative ONI) while ninos become weaker.

    You've come a long way.

    This winter better deliver, or we’re looking at 3 ratters in a row. I want to be joking, but idk

    Short drive around Ashburn, lots of large tree branches down

    1.03” yesterday, biggest daily rain total since, I dunno… February?
  15. Terpeast
    Obv northern MD along the m/d line got the worst of it. It seems some closer to dc metro reported that it wasn’t much of a storm for them. While I lucked out in that there’s no damage to my property, things did get quite intense for about 10 minutes. See that W just east of Leesburg? I’m right south of that. Total 1.03” today
  16. Terpeast
    Got a good thrashing with maybe 60-65 mph winds with very heavy rain. First severe event imby of the year
  17. Terpeast
    Leesburg being tornado warned ashburn here - very dark clouds, no wind yet. Calm before the ???

    Seeing some weakness in the line directly to the west of me. Is this where I say uh oh, I’m about to get burned again? Then again, the shear and dynamics are so strong that it’s not remotely similar to previous setups
  19. Terpeast
    Some mid-level cloud cover coming in. What's really interesting is the different directions mid vs. low level clouds are moving... the former is moving westerly, and the latter southerly. That's shear.

    Radar already showing storms congealing into a line even before crossing the blue ridge

    I'm looking at that same cell from my window. Cloud top height must be insane if I can see it from this far out.
  22. Terpeast
    Cleared out here. Mostly blue skies now. Ammo is loading as I type
  23. Terpeast
    And the UHC seems to have leveled out at 0.7. New MJJ ONI at 0.8. Models have a 1.7 peak on NDJ, but at the same time the WPAC warm pool is modeled to rewarm to +0.5 to +1. That may pull the forcing west
  24. Terpeast
    That’s a very fast moving line. I better pick up my kid from daycare a bit earlier than usual
  25. Terpeast
    Mostly cloudy with some blue sky in between
