We posted our annual IndyWx.com Winter Outlook last Saturday. If you haven’t read it yet, or want some good material to put you to sleep :-), feel free to click here.
Tonight we see the latest seasonal long range European model shifting the Nino to more of a central-based El Nino as we rumble deeper and deeper into winter. This is another indicator that mid and late winter could be cold. In any event, here you go:
Nov, Dec, Jan
Dec, Jan, Feb
Jan, Feb, March
There sure have been a lot of comparisons of this El Nino to that of ’97-’98. That’s fine in talking strength, but the overall SST profile both in the Pacific AND Atlantic is vastly different.
Hmmm…time to go dream about snow storms. – Combine a positive PDO with a central-based El Nino and there could very well be plenty of wintry “fun and games” in the months ahead.
