What a waste of a -NAO for the cold wx lovers down here
Well, we do not have +PNA in place currently to coincide with the negative NAO. That is a chief element also needed to help funnel colder air our way. Latest forecast has the NAO going back to at least neutral by the first of December. We will see if that trend will be brief. There continues to be indications, if they are close to being accurate, in long range models of significant blocking over Greenland and over Eastern Canada as we get deeper into December. This generally is a pretty good harbinger of a negative NAO eventually establishing itself down the road.
So, for the time being, great news for the year-round warm weather folks on the thread for the next 7 to 10 days at least.
The teleconnections have yet to come together for our corner of the world for significant cold spells.
Otherwise, same ole song for us for now.
Happy and safe Thanksgiving everyone!!
