It was a Flop... February 2024 Disco. Thread

Previous runs of EPS and GEFS had the wave dying in phase 6, now they both bring it into phase 8....been a theme all winter in the models trying to push it into the COD.

This was one of my main points in my last long range update...that said, if it were to stall, I would expect it to be in phase 6 per El Nino orientation.

Yea, gotta agree with you here. Its the smart play and there is value in being right....that said, I would still aim to provide metoeorological rationale that extends beyond the background signal of the multidecadal warming trend.

That big ridge sort of turns into a Hudson Bay type block on guidance with good Scooter high signal. Yes it's not cold...but that isn't a torch signal except maybe overnight mins. Then it appears -EPO/+PNA sets up.

 

I sure hope so.

Definitely support this morning for mjo help around mid month. We pray

From your lips to Rays mitts. We have a-lot riding on a 30day window.

it’s fine if the MJO craps out and the wave dies. then you just get typical Nino forcing and a strong Aleutian low. the MJO isn’t the only thing that forces patterns

MJO being super active has def hurt this winter.

This is what I was unclear on....I was looking for a way to distinguish on wxbell, but couldn't find it.

I don’t think it will crap out…

Meanwhile, that digger around the 2nd is interesting.  Does seem to be some potential there with a feature diving from Manitoba to the Delmarva.

Wasn’t this the time we were supposed to be starting a torch? Least I thought that was the trend yesterday

GFS has something too at that time. Boy that would be nice.

This is the type of pattern where being in a potent El Nino might actually help...we don't have that saturated geopotential medium with a trampoline to our south....so we can dig for oil on the east side of that central CONUS trough.

LOL trampoline. Good point.

The MJO doesn't force patterns.  It offers a constructive interference factorization - which also by that convention goes the other way.  But the planetary wave signal is vastly dominant. 

I've seen respective MJO wave ...even robust ones, not demo/fail correlation on the pattern over N/A often enough.  MJO writers down in NCEP often refer to it as either in constructive or destructive interference with x-y-z aspects going on during the forecast periods in question. 

just sayn'

Lol, the MJO desk is currently suggesting warmer than normal spreading over central and eastern U.S. during early February ... with a potential river event into the west coast.  SO basically a -PNA on steroids.

That's the correlation of the MJO - they're not predicting that.   I'm curious to see how that evolves because the telecon projections suggest differently for N/A

There's been times this season where I don't know WTF is driving the pattern lol.

It does look like a trough to move in at that time. But on it's heels, will be a -EPO ridge building into AK. All the while the ridging east of the -PNA trough tries to morph into a Hudson Bay block.

I know - it's like every index is negative and positive at the same time.  :wacko:

The EPS has been evolving into a psuedo Hudson Bay block....it's still a solidly AN pattern for us, but perhaps not the spring fever preview where we get 60s. We stay on the east side which keeps us colder and it never really gets far enough east to give us the return flow...perhaps cold enough for continued winter threats (ala the Euro and GFS on 2/1-2/2 which are already appearing today)

That sort of look evolved last month I recall... We were gawking at the blocking indicated - and equally as astonished when it sort of failed to produce.   Although we did get the 10-14"er out of that period ...even tough it was pullin' teeth to get the models to admit it was happening until the RGEM schooled the Euro   ( zoink)
