jaster220 Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 He basically show cases that with every El Nino in the past, there has been an obvious spike in global temps, however, the La Nina that follows also drags down global temps. Notice the falls have been bigger with the previous two El Nino's. On top of that, we just experienced a strong El Nino and his theory would suggest a much bigger fall in 2017-19. @ JB's theory Note that the 2 prior spikes he uses were fairly modest by comparison to what we just had, which means an even greater fall will be required to register a "Bigger fall of '17-19". Not sure that's gonna work out for him tbh. Interesting to note that global temps were generally slightly negative in '11 & '12 while we torched, then went slightly positive '13-'15 while we had our super cold winters around the Lakes.

If the pattern continues as I believe it will, winters over the US should continue to gradually cool over the next 15 years or so. If you ignore the fight that JB constantly is trying to pick with climate change supporters and the related junk that comes with that stuff, he is very intelligent when it comes to climate and weather cycles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted May 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 We don't necessarily have a thread for the Fall Outlook out just yet, but I thought this was an interesting trend in the CFSv2 model. From about a month ago, the model has increased coverage in the ring of warm waters in the N PAC. Producing some big implications. I think the response holds some credibility as other global models, especially the JAMSTEC, are following suit. Normally, the placement of the warm/cold waters in the N PAC would produce a cold lower 48 in the central CONUS. Is the model onto something??? Here was the SST anomaly from about a month ago.

May be some cooler shots down the road but summer looks to lock in soon. In my opinion the central based nina of the magnitude that is forecast, contrasted with what warmer waters will be left on the west coast by fall/winter would lead me to believe that a sort of ridge could come back over the western US by fall. I'll start playing with analogs in a month or 2 and see what shakes out but it's going to be really difficult for this winter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSTs are pretty close.I saw his post on WxBell indicating the new European seasonal outlook which is only out to December showing the 1984 analog with ridging over Greenland. The CFSv2 is showing a pretty dominant ridge in that same region also. I"m sure the very warm waters which are located on the east side of Greenland have a lot to do with it. Especially, near the Barents Sea where near record low ice has been noted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another key point is how warm the waters are near the Bearing Sea. Alaska just had their warmest Spring on record. The pocket of colder waters south of that are getting colder as well. This will be an interesting configuration of a warm PDO coupled with a mod/strong La Nina. The map below shows the heat content in the upper 300m of the Tropical Pacific.

OKwx2k4 Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Current thoughts are that we still have a long ways to go Tom. I take a lot of history into account when I start examining these things this far out and given multidecadal trends in winter temperatures, coupled with a forming Niña of moderate to strong caliber and +PDO, I would have to say that the CFS is probably pretty close to right at the moment. I would look for it to go colder in the central US as we get closer to the end of summer.

OKwx2k4 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Again, not really a place for this but with 27k of refreezing ice in the Arctic over the last few days, 2016 will not keep up with 2012 for sea ice loss. This Niño really has seemed to let a lot of people's hopes down for global extremes. Of course the price to be paid for a tightening polar vortex this time of year is the lovely heat advisory that was posted today but doesn't hurt my feelings too badly.

I take a lot of history into account when I start examining these things this far out and given multidecadal trends in winter temperatures, coupled with a forming Niña of moderate to strong caliber and +PDO, I would have to say that the CFS is probably pretty close to right at the moment. I would look for it to go colder in the central US as we get closer to the end of summer. This is going to be difficult winter to forecast for a lot of people. ..now being said about every winter it seems Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
