  1. i doubt it. it’s probably getting back to near normal once we head into December, and then there is the chance for weakening. this is a temporary spike
  2. i agree with that. it’s just that the main issue in stronger El Niños (if they do end up sucking) is that there are a lot of coastal storms with no cold air. that was 1997-98’s issue
  3. for December yes, but i wouldn’t expect cutter patterns as we head later into winter
  4. i think that’s kinda silly. i’m not sure how it would play out like that in actuality
  5. i will say this… if December turns out good, it’s probably going to be a rocking winter 2002 and 2009 would immediately fit the bill if December produces
  6. this was the hypothesis that a big block with Nino forcing would work a lot better. nice ridge over BC
  7. the catch is that that is a Nino pattern features a trough in the west
  8. like why does everything have to be so declarative? it makes no sense. it’s okay to not know what’s going to happen
  9. inevitable? three consecutive trimonthly periods that average 2.0+? i wouldn’t consider that inevitable at all
  10. C3S is still insistent on a more CP-type pattern as we head into the back half of winter. looks better than the October run
  11. C3S is still insistent on a more CP-type pattern as we head into the back half of winter. looks better than the October run
  12. i’m still not sure why people are so engrained in one camp. this is an event in a changing world and there’s something a bit off with all of the CC discussion and how it’s messing with everything, people vehemently insisting that this is a textbook event is kinda silly
  13. C3S is still insistent on a more CP-type pattern as we head into the back half of winter. looks better than the October run
  14. i respectfully disagree. we haven’t had a legit Nino in years and those often force a SE trough regardless of the Pacific if we do get a strong -NAO this year, it will be much more effective than it was last year
  15. then once the SPV is perturbed, that’s when you get the late Jan into Feb blocking accounting for lag
  16. there is zero reason to believe we will have a dry winter
  17. we could get the Goldilocks scenario where we get some Nina influence in December before Nino takes hold later in the winter I don't think it's a coincidence that 2002 and 2009 started off hot in December after following two or three Nina years. there has to be some lag in there
  18. a perturbed SPV would be great. SSWs can be tricky because you can have the main lobe move to Eurasia and screw us here. a perturbed vortex just makes blocking easier and more prolonged
  19. blocking probably won't make an appearance in earnest until mid-Jan. the ECMWF has a pretty weak SPV into Dec which is nice, though
  20. yeah it won't be an abject torch with the propensity for AK ridging. i just think that most of the cold will be in the W US in December. if we get some blocking somehow, that's a different story. the weeklies are advertising a weak SPV so that may help
  21. honestly I'm fine with it... mod-strong ENSO Decembers are warm, so it's what should be expected anyway
  22. yeah that's getting shaken up over the next few weeks
