On Nov 29th, the WCS daily PDO rose from ~-0.81 to -0.52, the fastest daily rise since Sept. 2nd:

Maue has become quite the hype over the past few years as far as weather Twitter goes. Long range (over next few weeks) looks active which is good. It’s good that we have the cold air (though tjat will warm up a bit in mid month, and I’m sure we will torch around Christmas) but timing the cold air during the storminess is a hard sell over in these parts

So we should expect the models to be getting colder?. For some reason the Ak vortex is still there plus the EPS this morning did not look that cold. 

The split forcing that I mentioned is preventing s clean MJO 8 response due to the interference leading to a moderation of the pattern mid month on the EPS.

The MJO resumed its eastward propagation while greatly strengthening in amplitude over the Western

Pacific during the past week.

• RMM observations currently show the signal at greater than 3 standard deviations in amplitude,

the highest registered since March, 2024

• Based on objectively wave filtered upper-level velocity potential anomalies, the recent strengthening is

likely tied to higher frequency wave modes constructively interfering with both the enhanced and

suppressed MJO envelopes.

• The strong Western Pacific MJO has led to a weakening of the La Nina background circulation over the

equatorial Pacific, with convective anomalies developing off the equator.

• As the faster propagating tropical variability moves away of the slower MJO envelopes, a transition

towards more competing interference is favored, resulting in a substantially weakened MJO signal over

the Western Hemisphere during the next two weeks.

• Even with a weakened MJO, subseasonal forcing still favors the greatest chances for tropical cyclone

development over the South Pacific, with lowered chances over the Indian Ocean.

• The extratropical response associated with Western Hemisphere MJO events during December

historically consists of development of high latitude blocking over/near Greenland, potentially allowing for

Arctic air to be advected into portions of the central and eastern CONUS.
