Omegaraptor Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 Winds at Corvallis have shifted from NW to SE. I'm not entirely sure what's supposed to change except the RH went up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow_wizard Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 43 minutes ago, Phil said: Dr. Roundy’s low-pass tropical forcing analogs have also been drifting towards a more zonal looking NPAC. Solution ends up with too much -WPO relative to -EPO which sends the mother load of Arctic air into Eurasia, while allowing heights to rise in the SW US. Gets somewhat interesting in January, but verbatim that Beaufort/western-Arctic vortex is a problem. 120 day animation, out to January 31st: http://www.atmos.albany.edu/facstaff/roundy/waves/analogs/analogslp.html We'll see. I'm just not feeling a 2007-08 outcome this winter. Maybe more like 1970-71 which was a tad less zonal. We had a much stronger Nina and deeper minus QBO than we will have this winter. The updated ECMWF still has a decent signal for a GOA ridge in January. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

Joshua Lake Oswego Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 Crucify me at the stake for saying this if you must, but analogs don’t mean sh*t in my opinion. The recorded reliable and detailed weather history is unbelievably short and insignificant in the scheme of things. It is not reliably possible to make long-term predictions based on previous years with some similar attributes. There are far too many variables without even factoring in man-made or man-expedited change. Did any analogs show PDX having a warm winter followed by a handily record dry spring followed by the hottest temperature of all-time by 9 degrees at the beginning of summer? Mother Nature will do what she wants. We have gotten very good at short-term forecasting and forecasting likely trends in the mid-term. Long-term… we suck. I can’t tell you how many times I have seen weekly, monthly, and seasonal forecasts completely bust. So much so that a monkey seemingly has the same odds of forecasting weather as the most skilled human forecaster when dealing with anything beyond a couple of weeks out. Data mining will continue to improve as the amount of data increases and computers continue to get smarter. For now, we can’t do much more than provide a guess by an educated person.

He was obviously referencing Seattle and you can't simply reference your area then call it coldest Feb. of the 20th century.... at least make that clear. For the Puget Sound region on the whole it was the coldest. Seattle really underperformed that month. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

Meatyorologist Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 17 minutes ago, Phil said: You’re a lot more bullish than I am. These Niña/-QBO years often have amazing-looking patterns in the autumn then whimper out before the solstice. Not always, but quite often. If we don’t see substantial amplification in Nov/Dec, odds of a blocky J/F/M could dwindle to almost nothing. That's quite a brash statement to be making in early October. I'm no wishcaster, and I'm not trying to manifest a cold winter here, but you seem to be banking the entirety your grave prophecy on a single index, this easterly QBO. Every other potential influence is pointing straight at deep troughing in the west. Again, I could be wrong, but you're acting as if the writing is on the wall here when in reality things are looking brighter than they have been in half a decade. Hell, we're already spying hints of a SPV breakdown. In October! That doesn't happen this early. You've been talking about searching for something to disrupt our impending zonal doom, and well, this is it. 6 Quote Weather stats for MBY Snowfall: -Total snowfall since joining: 50.25" -2018-19: 21" -2019-20: 2.5" -2020-21: 13" -2021-22: 8.75" -2022-23: 5.75" -2023-24*: 0.25" -Most recent snowfall: 0.25”; January 17th, 2024 -Largest snowfall (single storm): 8.5"; February 12-13, 2021 -Largest snow depth: 14"; 1:30am February 12th, 2019 Temperatures: -Warmest: 109F; June 28th, 2021 -Coldest: 13F; December 27th, 2021 -Phreeze Count 2023-24: 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
