Phil Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Also, interesting to note the nature of the medium-frequency wave stations of late (ridging across the GOA/NPAC and NE-Canada). This is the inverse of the pattern most commonly observed from 2013-18. Historically, this type of pattern has tended to precede high latitude blocking in November/December. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to separate that low frequency component first. Cold October/Niña is no more likely to precede a colder than average winter than warm October/Niña, particularly in the satellite era. In fact, some of the warmest Niña Octobers (such as 1988) preceded the most anomalous cold outbreaks in DJF. I'll have to put up the numbers and let people decide for themselves.

Why is it rarely the opposite? Why couldn’t 1” turn into 5”? The reason is because the vast majority of lows in our region end up north of where they are initially forecasted or they lose their oomph as the swing on in. The CPC gives us a high probability of above average precipitation in both the 6-10 day timeframe and the 8-14 day. They will have to change that whenever they update their products.

That's why some of us are still concerned about dry model runs showing up now even though September was a bit wetter than normal. A brief surplus of an inch or two more rainfall than normal does not break a drought of this severity, no matter how confident some people may be in their wishcasts. With that acknowledged; I don't get the hype in wanting another Fall with periods of fake cold and dry. Nor is that pattern even necessary to get a nice snowy winter.
