Probably wouldn't start to get below normal temps till about day 18 or so. You can see the mjo doing the dirty work with a -epo/+pna-ao/ Nice Aleutian low/siberian high for some wave 1 hits to strat.

Isotherm Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 I realize people are anxious to restart the auspicious pattern, but I would just caution that there are some potential timing issues with respect to the propagation of the MJO wave and the concomitant rossby wave induced alterations downstream. The ECMWF ensembles are a bit slower with the ewd propagation, with a progression through p7 in the first 10 days of the month. Keep in mind, there is a possibility that the EPS is rushing the eastward expansion of the lower geopotantial heights. It may not be, but there are still some uncertainties as far as timing. The state of the SPV will continue to support a +NAO in early February, so that particular signal looks accurate to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even look at it anymore and if the modeling shows it in the long range I just assume it is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of indicators I've developed have shown excellent success retrospectively; the one accurately prognosticates the +NAO sign 86% of the time since 1950, and when coupled with the other indicator, works in almost every case. I have been using it for the past few winters. Both indicators strongly suggested a +NAO for this winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isotherm Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 So, there is definitely much more to the story than -QBO/low solar flux. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been using it for the past few winters. Both indicators strongly suggested a +NAO for this winter. I was trying to use a paper Jack gave to me to outlook the nao and it gave me a negative for this winter. Although most of the failures were false -naos. The NF ssta going back to the mid 90s had about a 70% success ratio. If it isn't proprietary, do you mind sharing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus all the models (Euro in particular) outlook a fairly large number of false -naos beyond day 8 anyway. So I am with you on this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feb Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 12z EPS look like a little step back from the 0z run bringing the cold east at the end of the run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing of tropical forcing suggests the East Coast higher height signal will try to hold for the first week or so of Feb before we begin to see the axis adjust ewd in response to the mechanisms discussed ad nauseam by many here.

tombo82685 Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 The cold is coming, ens will probably rush it a bit as usual. See no reason to back off earlier call of it coming just inside of mid month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there may come a time in Feb when the GFS forecasting full boar cold will work, but for now the 00z run once again gets the prize for the coldest run of the 21 members. The signs (whether rushed, science fiction or not) of a change to colder are starting to show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
