The -NAO has weakened considerably over the last two EPS runs. Hopefully it comes back. At least the Pacific looks good.

i wouldn't be shocked if it didn't happen at all.. 

this fledgling season is 0-1 on NAO progs so far... I've been mentioning it in my rants that the NAO is inherently a P.O.S. index for every reason actually ... right down the board. Predictability, expectation, faux ideas on what it means for our pattern, based upon re-enforcing nonsense spanning decades where internet fan-fair develops its own sense of reality in matters based up ...crowd physics more than anything else.  SO, maybe we shouldn't give a sh!t anyway

When DEC 8th comes around I do think the blocking will trend weaker like it just did in its last episode. Which isn't bad if the pacific still looks good, we don't need a massive -NAO in NE  to get snow. I would be fine running with a -EPO/+PNA and slightly neg NAO. Saying that, CPC still has quite the spread for the domain.

LOL, oye. All I said was that it trended weaker. It could easily come back on future runs...just something to watch. I care, and will always care more about the Pacific. 

But Scott you used the word "Considerably"  when describing how much weaker it got.  That raises doubts for the NAO peeps.   I happen to agree with Tip...that thing/domain is way over rated imo.  If it's there fine, if not as long as the pacific is in our favor that's good enough for me too.

Living in Delaware for the 2009/2010 season, I was grateful for the the strong -NAO. Even though I am pretty close to NYC, I'm more concerned with too much of a -NAO otherwise it would be congrats Delaware again.... A nice -AO, +PNA, -EPO, and just enough blocking to slow things down a bit would be just fine...

Best not to mention it because some need it to never waver on guidance in order to salvage some semblance of sanity.

Ray ... it probably will ... 

if we want to cite past occurrences (always risky) ... in fairness the first episode took place, but ... in a sense the models double crossed us in that the presentation of it, and in fact it's actual physical exertion on the flow ...those parts of it is didn't really have much sensible impact on our weather.  the nao was situated too far away and also ..weaker. 

but, this isn't new to science. the nao is intrinsically a problematic domain space in modeling/tele's and so forth so... every time we are staring down the barrel of a negative(positive) regime in these tools, there a a dicey caveat.

Scooters Boss

Global ensemble NWP models severely underpredicted the blocking high over Greenland as indicated by the negative trend in the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) forecast trend product.

I'm not sure I agree with Mike (assume this is him). We haven't reached validation, and per this link...the GFS has had a negative bias. Not saying that will continue...but lets see how it plays out.
