Sometimes things actually do trend more towards cutting off.    We always mock models for being cut-off happy but generally ignore it when it goes the other way.   

The 12Z GFS yesterday for Sunday on top... new 12Z GFS on the bottom.

Trending more towards cut off solutions has been an issue since July.   Models seem to assume things will suddenly become progressive after day 7 but it never actually happens.

Ending last week I had a pretty decent string of normal minima with a few that edged slightly into below-normal territory, despite many afternoon maxima being above normal. Since then my nights have been on the mild side.

It's called clown range for a reason.

Average here is in the upper 40's by this time of year, and haven't seen that since last week.

If anything, I would expect Eugene's averages to be even cooler by now. You do tend to get early autumn overnight cold pretty easily in the southern WV.

The GFS cutoff bias is usually a springtime phenomenon. Not really the case from midsummer onwards.

Which is a problem. Unless India, China, and the rest of the Indo-Pacific region get on board in a significant way, whatever actions we take unilaterally will prove to be futile.

But mass action starts at the individual level. Same argument applies for voting.

We as a country need to match our GHG emissions with our environmental values, not just because we have faith in other countries joining us, but because we exert *some* kind of influence on the atmosphere, be it big or small. Because we can. Because it is who we are, and who we ought to be.

If it we act unilaterally it will make no difference, and the financial cost of such action(s) will leave us more vulnerable to any climate change that occurs. Pointless at best, self-destructive at worst.

Major limiting factor is that morons have been in charge of energy policy across the western hemisphere for the last decade+, and we’re bearing the consequences of that now. Particularly over the coming winter, with widespread energy shortages likely in Europe and prices through the roof just about everywhere, putting downward pressure on the global economy, limiting investment in renewable technologies.

Or we could just ban cars and hope the technology catches up. Open pit lithium mines vs the 0.5F increase in temps cars create? Pick your poison I guess.

Euro has shifted the bulk of the rain into SW WA and NW OR. Pretty decent down there on the 12z. Gfs and Cmc are more north. 

And then trending much warmer and very dry again for the rest of the run.

Yeah hard to say. Across the West I’m more concerned about worsening drought prospects than a torch winter.

Plenty of conduits to a blocky DJF still, but an active storm track to relieve rainfall deficits might be harder to come by? Just a very muted, stagnant pattern over the NPAC.

Yeah we’re in a very fall 2012 situation right now. It’s very bizarre how dry and warm it’s been. The last few Septembers haven’t been this way at all…which is why this year seems so weird. Of course this is also a much warmer and drier September than I’ve ever seen more so than 2012.

Yeah it has reminded me of 2012 in a sense as well. Obviously that fall was cooler than this one, but it will be interesting to see if the storm train gets going once the pattern changes. Unfortunately there is really no indication the pattern will change... And that is a significant concern.

Yeah it’s so d*mn dry out there right now. We need a ton of rain not a few washed out weak fronts. If the euros right could be a decent rain for you guys but would leave a lot of the Puget sound with 0.10” or less. The gfs and cmc are a bit further north on the 12z runs.

A splitty winter could still do it for the SW. Even with a weaker jet, like 2004-05.

At least that year had a +ENSO tilt (some STJ/+AAM 10-30N). With a La Niña of this intensity I’m not sure that can be counted on. Hopefully I’m wrong.

And this La Niña is about to get another steroid injection with the mammoth trade surge coming up. Might be the most intense of the event so far.

Starting to wonder if the La Niña is part of the problem at this point. Certainly won’t help import westerly momentum where it would be helpful.

Either way, the persistence of this base state is astounding.

FYI here are the years at SLE that had less that 1" of rain in September AND less than 2" of rain in October. *denotes November having above average precip. 

2018

2008

2002*

Also, October CAN be a pretty dry month in the Willamette Valley. In fact in the 1892-present period of record SLE has had under 2" 36 times in October, or almost 1/3rd of the time. There have been a couple of October's with no rain or just a few hundredths as well.
