THIS POST IS NOT UP TO DATE. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR OUR WINTER FORECAST, PLEASE GO HERE
Well, as much as you hate to admit it (or maybe not, with the heat), Summer is going strong, but Fall and eventually Winter are right around the corner. This is the first in the 2011-2012 Winter Forecast series. Right now, we are simply alerting you of the factors we are beginning to look at. First, and possibly most important, is the ENSO cycle. ENSO, or El Nino Southern Oscillation, looks like it is heading into the La Nina phase. We're also looking at the negative PDO, and the strong ridge that is already across the Plains, among other "secret" things. We're also going to come up with a Fall forecast soon. As for a winter sneak peek, two phrases: Great Lakes, Polar air (can you figure it out?). Stay tuned!
Edit: We are getting a LOT of views on this post, and obviously it was only a sneak peak. If you are reading this, I am directing you to view our 2011-2012 First-Look Winter Forecast page to get the real good stuff.
Will new york city have a snowy winter this 2011-2012 winter weather season.
ReplyDeleteThe general idea is that while New York City may be snowier than average, it won't be quite as snowy as last year. The Midwest may have the worst of winter this year. By the way, our official first look winter forecast is at http://theusaweatherblog.blogspot.com/p/2011-2012-preliminary-winter-forecast.html if you want more info.
