MJO is but one possible component among many and a new signal gets introduced every year. Plus the effects have changed. Nino and Nina used to be very consistent predictors for 50 years but less so now. AO/NAO still very vital but the rest are largely research in progress
Analog time frame day a Go and notice how the cold air is coming down from NY State and PA and not rolling off Maine nor plunging down thru ND/SD and rolling eastward where timing of cold air can be a problem
I have wondered that if the Gulf Stream has indeed weakened, could that be less attractive now to potential low pressures to move along Atlantic coastline miller A style?
Thats the design. 0-11” forecasted and couple posters asked me well what’s my prediction and my prediction is the 0-11” model output will verify. That’s what its all about anyway
I know that many do enjoy the 10+
I don’t think it’s actual “tracking” because it’s mostly a mirage . So many times it’s just herky jerky every 6 hours and then zip and rarely a solid hit that the”agony of defeat” wiped away the thrills of victory many years ago
Thanks. I would say if things really can’t be forecasted with some normal scientific precision standards beyond X number of days then why do it?
I know why but it brings out the protect the supply chest thumpers of all sorts. It’s because 268 hour snow monsters Sell. There is a myth that NOAA/NWS are “above all that”
Do what can be done and take a broader view approach. That one set of graphs where lines are running everywhere is like reading the human genome chart
Weather forecasting needs new blood with new ideas.
