So just look at the maps.. this storm is busting a lot warmer, so it's going be more coastal for NE MD and southern NJ. Pretty significant for this short time period. There is room for a trend probably at 00z for more wrap-up coastal.
On topic please.
All the models have +neutral or El Nino. I think we are in kind of a phase since-2013 where warm is the norm. SOI and NOI are plunging right now. Usually in a developing La Nina you would see some well defined SSTs in the northern latitudes right now, (not what's happening).
Yeah, I see seasonal models shift with every little swing. It's weird to see them go weaker in the last few weeks with the El Nino dominating and still peaking.
If you animate arctic ice on NASA, it looks like we are below the long term trend. I would expect a severe melt in the next 1-2 Summers (like September kind of showed)
Nothing but positive 500mb in the Arctic for the next 15 days. It's stagnant though, this is weird to me because it seems to be from no ice (no atmosphere).
