CFS also agrees on a cold January!!cfs-mon_01_T850a_us_3.png

That's the 850mb anomaly. The 2m temp anomaly is closer to average.

The Euro is definitely in the retrogression camp. Easy to see where that pattern would go, verbatim.

The GFS changed a lot and doesn't have it anymore from what I can tell. I'm hoping we don't get another east wind event

Fire danger during downslope events into October is relatively minimal as RH recoveries are now pretty massive. Plus the events starting about now have a considerable cooling component.

Problem with these seasonal models is they generally reflect low pass coupling and cannot see intraseasonal events which perturb that.

So they’ll end up with the canonical ENSO response 90% of the time. Don’t think they will prove very useful more than 2 months in advance. At best.

Any kind of SSW/significant MJO renders the solutions useless. Even just a sharp dAAMt/wavebreak can change the picture.

It was forecasting a cool/wet September in the PNW in late August, so…yeah maybe. :lol:

The August 1st run of the CANSIPS was also projecting a very wet August and September in the PNW.

Huge yikes.

Yeah, it is still predicting a wet October in some parts of the PNW, though it has latched onto the idea of a torch. And of course a couple of big storms the last few days of the month could change the dynamic.

It’s 48.4°F here at 345pm on 10/3. That would be pretty typical in January. By far the coldest afternoon temp I’ve ever recorded this yearly in the season.

For contrast, in 2019 it was 98°F here on 10/2.

This pattern is killing the cold air source for 80% of the CONUS.

Need to either retrograde the western ridge into the GOA, or build a ridge into NE-Canada/Greenland. I think the former is more likely, but am hoping for the latter.

Who cares about cold? We just need 1/2'' of freakin' widespread rain before every last plant, shrub, and tree in the PNW dies.

EPS still adding AAM through the next 2 weeks.

If/when high AAM begins decreasing again is when I’d watch for a retrogression. A faster reversal/-dAAMt would be more likely to pull it off.

October is the one month during the rainy season where it’s possible to receive a months worth of rain in 1 day.  Too soon to write this one off.  Wouldn’t be too surprised to see the flood gates open before Halloween. 

With a bone-dry summer and little or no prospect of significant moisture in the first two weeks of this month, mushroom season is already a loss this year.

It's called clown range for a reason.

EPS weeklies still pushing back any transition to a wetter pattern.

In reality it could be the jet doesn’t break through at all, and instead the ridge retrogrades offshore.
