  1. Last year at this time was actually more of a developing El Nino than this year
  2. Subsurface warm pool is now weakening. It will probably peak at the surface for another 1-2 weeks, but we look to be heading straight toward Neutral/Weak Nino.
  3. It looks like, on the 18z GFS, that the subsurface wave is still going strong Day 15+.
  4. It's the lowest 5-month SOI since 1997. That was February. We could easily break 1982 and 1997 SOI-wise if the El Nino strengthens in the Spring. Check out the Indian Ocean signal.
  5. It looks, as per subsurface, that the event will peak in April.
  6. The way this +PNA is unfolding with the developing Kelvin wave makes me think this will not rush into Strong territory. It's a NorthPacific-ENSO even signal if that makes any sense. Weak-Moderate continuation, although something may happen in the Fall. (The point is, we are probably staying below 1982,1997) Edit: ie, in strong events you would usually see the NOI bottoming right now, and a off the west-coast or GOA trough.
  7. They are saying the same thing in central/south Europe.
  8. Something people don't really know.. 1965-1966 was a Strong Nino that peaked in the Fall. 2.0, 2.0, 1.7, then 1.4 djf. This was a -PNA Just like this year. We are peaking on the other end of the seasonal scale.. El Nino likely to continue.
  9. Subsurface continues to lead surface significantly so. Check out the western subsurface leading up to the 2015 El Nino. We seem to be doing it again.
  10. Strong El Nino subsurface wave.. looks like an El Nino Spring.
  11. This is a strong +subsurface wave currently happening, and 11-15 day models have it continuing to strengthen.
  12. It looks like El Nino is making a comeback, which doesn't bode well for severe weather. The +AO pattern in the long range may produce, at least rainbands around March 15th: (Thunderstorm activity is down 50% right now.)
  13. This is pretty cool.. I posted earlier that there is an inverse correlation between February SOI and the next years ENSO state. AAM is something like rotational speed of the Earth, faster in El Nino, slower in La Nina. AAM can been in 500mb heights as this: Febuary 15-28 2019 has been -AAM (what you usually see in La Nina) Check out these strong El Nino developing analogs and what happened Feb 15-28 AAM-wise. All were -AAM.
  14. It was flurrying in bel air.. should be cold enough here.
  15. This isn't going to hit WSW criteria. It's too warm.
  16. As always, RAP is trending warmer as we get closer to the event. (click to animate)
  17. I'm a little concerned about the higher end totals because of this.
  18. The North Pacific is not acting like El Nino at all despite El Nino conditions in the subsurface.. this was completely different,connected until about 6-9 months ago.
  19. -PNA, you don't see this in El Nino, but Neutral. You do see this N Pacific pattern in El Nino. It will be interesting to see if a new Kelvin Wave develops in 10-15 days.
