  1. last year had a great December pattern. roll the dice with that look and you'll cash in 8/10 times... just didn't happen last year, what can you do
  2. the fact that the -NAO is showing up at all is the important part. also, we shouldn't have a strong Nina SE ridge influence like we did last year
  3. but! but! this is obviously acting like a canonical event! there could be a PDII redux in December and he would find a way to spin it
  4. that's a run-over-run trend. these are the actual 500mb anomalies... the western trough is pretty common in Nino Decembers that move into Phase 3
  5. one could make the case that 09-10 was strong as well... that winter topped out at +1.6C in NDJ
  6. yeah, it's not cold enough early (unless the GEPS -EPO is right), but seeing the -NAO and SPV perturbation both showing up over the last few days is highly encouraging it would be leading us on the 2002/2009 type track rather than the 1972/1982/1991/2015 track
  7. if we get that -NAO, it bodes well for the rest of the winter. El Ninos with -NAO Decembers looked like this for Jan / Feb:

  9. EPS also making a shift towards much more medium range -NAO blocking
  10. GEFS is also showing a WB -NAO... Pacific isn't great, but good to see the blocking showing up
  11. it would be nice to have a well entrenched definition on this stuff, but it's different everywhere you look. quite annoying for these kinds of discussions I just don't want to see shit on twitter of people declaring this a super event after one monthly reading lmao
  12. lmao I'm just saying that one trimonthly period isn't the actual accepted definition. that has nothing to do with any contest. just saying that when this will be officially classified, it will probably be done as a strong event. I'm not referring to the contest here or anything like that i still have a hard time believing that this even gets to a full trimonthly. maybe it squeaks one out at 2.0 but that's probably it
  13. no, it's five consecutive months. this is the definition i've most commonly seen, but there isn't one that's the gold standard. NOAA classifies El Nino as five consecutive trimonthlies, though. 1997 and 2015 were over 2C for five straight trimonthlies
  14. you know that these anomalies need to persist for months, right? there have to be five consecutive months over 2C for this event to be classified as super
  15. looks like our next potential shot at something as this vort rounds the trough. GEFS picks up on it well this time

  17. yeah it looks like models are picking up on heat flux. would like to see this signal push into the medium range
  18. ECMWF extended really dropped the strength of the SPV compared to yesterday... ends up weaker than average for most of December now
  19. ECMWF extended really dropped the strength of the SPV compared to yesterday... ends up weaker than average for most of December now
  20. makes sense given the MJO pass through 7-8-1-2 by the time we get to mid-late month
  21. @GaWx look at this significant drop in SPV strength on the ECMWF extended compared to yesterday
  22. i mean, we've only been in two legitimate El Ninos in the last decade, so it would be rare given the low frequency. I don't think it's a coincidence that we've already gotten a 8-1-2 pass given that this event is strong
  23. the SPV is strong now, but it lessens to normal strength as we go on... normal is fine, as the SPV and TPV don't have to be coupled all the time
  24. just saying, if we do indeed get that look in late December, it's off to the races IMO. can't think of a moderate / strong / super Nino that had a good pattern early to not continue it later in the winter the ones that started off with a good pattern were often prolific. 2002 and 2009 are the most prominent examples. of course, we will need to see if this is voodoo or not
  25. yeah, no more pesky SW trough BS. pure Nino SE trough
