Looking Ahead to Fall and Winter

MJO moving into Maritime right on time(Nov.2nd-Nov 7th)with a slight stall forecasted.Still think it emerges sometime Nov.11th-Nov.16th I'm leaning closer to Nov.11th into the Western Pacific/West.Hem.Warm spell looks brief though this week.

When it does come out it should keep moving till around Nov.28-Dec.4th when the next sun/solar wind rotation occurs.Could be a cold month id it's in phase 7,8,1,and 2.

Just my opinion.

MJO re emerging in the W.Pacific right on time(Nov.11-16th)with a big Arctic front entering the eastern US.Still think it keeps moving till around Nov.28th-Dec.4th into phase7,8,1,2 but as low as the solar wind has been this cycle I'd lean closer to early December but we'll see.

MJO should stall,weaken.or move to Maritime around Nov.28th-Dec.4th.There may be a relaxing of the pattern around and a bit after then then but the MJO should re emerge around Dec.6th-Dec.12th.December can be tricky if we get unexpected solar wind flareups like last year which in my opinion locked up the MJO in a warm phase longer than expected.

Also I'm watching the QBO closely,if that flips let's just say watch out.

Just my opinion.

Can you do please do these updates at least 4 times per week?  Thanks!! :)

MJO weakening and crawling in the COD(Nov.28th-Dec.4th),right on time to me.No full pull to the Maritime because in my opinion the solar wind /CME rotation running real low. this cycle.Pattern relaxing as expected as i see a 594dm death ridge parked over S.Florida and most of the Gulf of Mexico this morning.Lag times have been real short with this cycle,almost cut in half so it might try to sneak out earlier than expected(Dec.6th-Dec-12th)so we'll see.

It should come out and move till around Dec.26th,-Jan.1st but if the lag times continue to shorten everything gets moved up(Dec.22nd-Dec.28th).My opinion is the whole solar wind field has been extremely low since about Oct.10th and the CME rotations have been much weaker. Dec.8th could be pivotal as a CME is forecasted to arrive.this could lock up the MJO if its strong and lasts a few days.

Just my opinion.

Lot of these experts or so called experts like using and looking at Global Angular Momentum( GLAMM),Mountain torque(MT),and Global Wind Oscilation(GWO).These are all fine to use but in my opinion the solar wind/EEP/CME/sun rotation drive all these ultimately.Most people don't even know what these are so Ill try.

-GLAMM is a measure of the turning force of the winds and it  oscialltes up and down.When its high its called +GLAMM when low its called -GLAMM.

- Torques make up significant parts of the momentum as well. They are large drivers in tendency in angular momentum helping to remove or add winds to the atmosphere.

- Rising GLAAM is better for promoting a disrupted flow pattern which is supportive of higher latitude blocking in winter..Blocking is more likely during El Nino (+GLAAM) .Seasonlly dependent though -GLAMM in summer promtes blocking.

- Tropical forcing is very significant as this is a major driver in global momentum. (MJO)

 

Low solar wind/EEP pushes the Hadley cells Equatorially(+GLAMM into the MJO)

High solar wind/EEP pushes the Hadley cells to the Polar regions(-GLAMM weakens the MJO)

Anyone notice the GWO and GLAMM completely dropped out at the beginning of September and the MJO completely locked up?Isn't a coincidence the solar wind/EEP roared to life then hitting 872km/s .The next rotation hit in late September and kept it knocked down.

Anyone notice it shoot straight upwards around Oct,10th and still high now?Isn't it another coincidence the solar wind/EEP dropped out below 300-350lm/s for weeks.

It don't take a rocket scientist to figure out when you hear terms like Angular momentum,Torque,and Global Wind what's really going on here.

Carry on.

Well I'd love to see some fun this winter but being honest, I have NO realistic hope of cold or snow for my area. No matter which index or cycle we hang our hats on every year, none of them seem to result in a good setup for the 85 and south crowd anymore. I can get a couple of sloppy inches from a Miller B changeover but that is literally the only set up where I can get anything at all, and there's no such thing as Miller As or ULLs that deliver anymore. My son has been asking about when we'll see snow and I'm trying not to break his heart, but I have no confidence anymore. It's kinda like being a Gamecock fan (which I am). You keep thinking the stars will align and the odds will be in your favor eventually, but... :cry:

What I'd give for one more of these setups!

NC, happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I have one question. Is there anyway to tell if and when the mjo may go to the colder phases? I know the IOD is pretty positive right now. I was just confused on what you said here and the below paragraph.

Looks like the MJO is struggling to push into phase 3 by Dec.15th just looking at the latest forecasts which make sense in my opinion.This latest solar wind/CME/ sun rotation exited on 11/28 meaning low solar wind,+GLAMM are returning now.This should continue till December 18th when the next high solar wind/CME rotation comes in and weakens the MJO or pushes it to Maritime after the 18th.

Phase 1 and 2 are colder for Eastern US in December,low solar/EEP +GLAMM don't equal Maritime forcing or Indian forcing so I'd be very cautious throwing out big December warmups at least through Dec.18th.

+GLAMM/low solar/EEP into an El Nino promotes blocking as well,you could easily get 7-10 days of some sort blocking in between solar rotations in my opinion.The QBO is a whole different matter, stratospheric anomalies tend to be transmitted down to the troposphere during an easterly QBO rather more than a westerly one. Strong research that -QBO with low solar promote blocking as well.

Just my opinion.

I talked to a guy at the CPC today and he believes the mjo gets into the warm phases and by beginning of January it could go back to the cold phases. That's just his opinion obviously. Maybe you can answer this. Lets say the mjo goes into the COD after being in the warm phases, is there anyway to tell what phase the mjo could propagate into? Despite the +IOD that i hear about, im surprised if the mjo will go into the warm phases,and if it does, it would be eerily similar to last year.

MJO re emerging In phase 2 today and right on time(Dec.6th-Dec.12th).Should continue there till around Dec.18th-Dec.22nd if we get a short lag time.Weakens or a pull to Maritime and we get a brief relaxing of the pattern afterwards.

MJO should reemerge around Dec.26th-Jan.1st if we get the short lag time,pattern reloads but these lag times are getting shorter because in my opinion of very,very,low solar wind?EEP and shorter/weaker CME rotations.I counted 5 days this week where it went below 300km/s.

Just my opinion.

Excellent stuff! Keep it up.

Euro seasonal looks better today,this updates every 13th day of the month.Much better blocking showing up south of Alaska now,.Heights across the lower 48 much lower this was all in the 40%-50%-50%-60% above average(light/moderate yellow) in November.Better heights in Greenland this was all mostly 40%-50% below average(light blue) in November as well.

Thanks for posting.  How's the solar stuff looking @NC_hailstorm ?

MJO weakening and entering the COD right on time (Dec.18th-Dec.22nd)and entering the relaxing/warming period .Everything looks on schedule to me.

Still think the MJO reemerges around Dec.26th-Jan.1st ,getting a short/weak rotation so far only a 4 day event with kp4 levels and solar wind/EEP only cracking 550km/s nothing to stall it  or loop it in my opinion.GLAMM and torque should respond as the forcing moves back equatorially.

It might sneak into p6 but this should enter p7 rapidly and keep moving(p8 p1) till around Jan.14th when the next rotation begins.Then we get another relaxing/warmer period(5-7 days) around and after then.

Just my opinion.
