Gresham has been getting hammered tonight. And not the people of Gresham getting hammered because that happens EVERY night.

Definitely agree re: +PNA/+TNH (and correspondingly +PMM/+PDO) shift for the second half of the 2020s. The intra-decadal extension of the IPWP equatorial flank is right on our doorstep now.

@GHweatherChris I'm going to post this publicly since I want there to be no transparency. The mod response on this has been admittedly scattered and incommunicative so I want to be as human as possible since I know you and Jesse get along. Jesse's long-term behavior has been overtly unacceptable. Making arch enemies of those he disagrees with (Tim, Matt, Randy et al), rehashing old arguments over and over again for his own amusement, picking on the same individuals over and over again (Jim, Bryan). It's all immature, stupid behavor unbefitting of a weather forum. If you want specific posts as evidence you'll need to give me a few days as the posts are numerous and I really don't have time at 12:30am to sift through to find the best ones. Honestly it makes me a little sick to do this. Jesse's a knowledgeable, mostly like-minded, bright individual with useful weather knowledge. And I know he really does care about participating here. But we have many others on this forum just like him, but without the BS.

Because the termination of the -PNA/-NAO regime also opened the door to -EPO/+TNH, which is actually a colder pattern nationally because the dominant TPV lobe is on our side of the pole (instead of Eurasia during the -NAO/-PNA low frequency state).

We were coming off of 5/6 La Nina years, which I always contest is a cold phase index. I did some research a little while ago about PNA shifts, and those years came up, but I don't completely remember right now sorry lol. I think it was pointing to a +PNA in 2026-28 though.
