Things ready to turn the page in a bit. August 15, the hurricane season explodes,.,.,.QBO/Upward motion patterns could, allow a colder DEC in the Northeast…. Maybe the Mid Atlantic if things go right. This La Nina is ready to explode… This is insane. The way this thing is developing is absolutely insane. While La Nina Conditions have not been around for 3 months yet, current obs indicates this thing is borderline strong.
Yes, prognostications have this thing at borderline strong… and its JULY! That is as rare as it gets. There is a good chance this thing runs as strongest ever recorded., and I'm not hyping things up, this is real.
This winter, widespread cold in the east………. would have to come in OCT-DEC. The QBO supports a Cold DEC, so does this hurricane Season. (leftover upward motion), which naturally would draw cold air until the oceanic warmth fizzles out.
Watch Out! Global temps will drop rapid sick, Cold PDO, Lowsolar cycle, La Nina, all drivers except the AMO, support the cooling (freezing)__ (LOL) that is incoming.

do u think we could still have like 20 named storms this hurricane season, been relatively quiet so far 4 an active season?
What do you think wjp this means for central us (Nebraska area) ?
Hope this is right.

A Massive Winter Heading for the Northern Hemisphere?
Good times. Makes me not wanna move to California..XD. I was also thinking about this hurricane season as well. The fact that they said that this season was gonna be booming. Barely anything has came out of it as of now.
So it looks like we're in for a doozy of a winter huh? Sweet. We need one.
Ain't nothin' better than mass hysteria these days. Well, if you're forecast is soo accurate, then I will be looking for that explosive hurricane activity by mid-August.
In all seriousness though, what do you think of my outlook?…If you even bothered to look at it.
Where is your outlook located Frost?
I agree. La Nina has intensified rapidly. This is because of the tanking PDO and major burst of easterly trade winds. I expect La Nina to be moderate to even strong through fall and possibly winter. There are many dynamic drivers that will dominate the winter pattern. It will be an interesting one to say the least.
The global temperatures by early next year will possibly be the lowest since the mount Pinatubo eruption.
I'm waiting on it to happen. NOAA can take their findings, AND SHOVE IT.
Oh, I didn't know you had a new one. I looked, Its very much in line with my view in the broad scope. I will never be able to do the fancy mapwork you do, I just don't have the mindset (lol).
As for my predictions, I try not to go around like a ****y piece of sh*t. I'm just a very bold personality.
I didn't say you we're being that way Phil. lol. Your post just seemed a little overly hyper. lol.
If the La Nina becomes super strong, then I'll have to hope for some strong blocking like last year… in a strong Nina it would help me, unlike last year when it hurt me tremendously.
I'm not sold on a strong La Nina. I'm not even sold on a sustained La Nina through winter… conditions could easily flop to neutral by January. Too early to tell.
wjp I live in the mid-altantic and im so confused right now
if by any chance you will know anything about this upcoming 2010-2011 winter???

@maineman ; current charts already have this La Nina already at moderate intensity!
Hello, I'm usually around here lurking reading all the forecasts, but they usually answer my questions, so I don't really post. BUT, I do have a question. If there is a strong La Nina, what will that mean for Central Texas? We don't normally see a lot of snow/ice (I swear I'm going to move to the mountains one day, just so I can get my fix), but does it mean even less of a possibility than normal? Thank you!
Atypically La Nina's bring drier and somewhat warmer weather to the south states. I however believe since there are so many dynamic drivers in place this winter this will be interesting for just about everyone.
wjp does this mean the winter outlook could possibly change for Martinsburg,WV (eastern panhandle)? I mean might it be colder and possibly snowier then first thought or will it stay the same as you first said. It sounds like a big whirlwind of what can happen. Like I said I am not educated on these things like you guys are so excuse me if I misunderstood your finding.
Thank you! I would LOVE it if we got some more snow this year. Last year was the first time we had real snow in for what seems like forever. My husband & I were able to get outside with our daughters and make a snowman that didn't consist of half of our yard and we didn't have to name it Scary the Snowman….so that was nice. I appreciate your answer. Thank you!
Could KC area have a winter similar to last year if the La Nina gets as strong as you say? Most often it seems like whenever there are ocean anomalies we either have the extreme of warm or very cold, but not as often wet and cold. I hope we get a repeat of last winter and another mini glacier in my front yard!
