Here is a great video from a guy in another forum on Rosby Waves - very good and explains things in a simple understandable way.

Weather's so boring we got nuthin' to talk about. Let's pull out that old crawler.

Going to rain this week

Bring it because it has dry and we need it I don't want to have a summer with water worries and droughts

[dkodgis]

Old age brings me to remember that after a strong El Niño, there is La Niña=dry, hot summer with hurricanes. Fall gets cold fast and so does winter. There are influencing factors and variables but that is what I remember. If La Niña peaks at the end of the year, no snow-winter again. It it peaks sooner as in the fall, we will get snow. Does this sound about right?

we are still in a moderate nino as of today. nina will not officially start until late summer or early fall and will probably be strengthening next winter. there is always a lag time with these nino's and nina's so I have doubt about a dry hot summer. still like 95-96 as best analog for next winter.

[algae888]

also worth noting is the near record +pdo. this looks like it could hold through next winter. could make for a fun winter with a la nina coming. pna has been mostly + for the last few years. will be interesting to see how it all plays out.


look at the warm waters off the west coast of Canada and U.S.

Complaints about forecasters sounding alarms about violent weather six days out.

Tomorrow, a day which I was scheduled to go to the Met game, will likely be rained out.  And then I see the 0Z EURO from last night for late next week and I ask myself:  Where the heck was this in December or February?????

"Two new studies add support to the idea that climate warming in the Arctic and melting sea ice may be increasingly laying the groundwork for blockbuster East Coast snowstorms..."

Crazy stuff. Cant imagine what that's like.
While we still in this dreary weather pattern they are stuck in the hot dry part of a Omega block
