Pattern February 2024

Bye bye omega ridge of death...you won't be missed

At this point, just having BN temps for as long as possible is victory enough for me.

I tend to agree. A string of 52/30 high low spreads for a few weeks will at least be pleasant
 
This is as far south as you will ever see the subtropical jet stream here on the GEFS as the mean wave in the flow is entering North America south of Baja. That's unheard of. The mean jet stream zonal wind anomalies have steadily moved south from December into February (2nd image), common in robust El Ninos as EWebb showed (at bottom)

That's a tall spiking ridge. What a banger.

First time in a while I’ve seen a -NAO with a cooperative pacific (+PNA). Honestly don’t remember the the last time. Feels like we stayed wasting -NAOs on either trash pacific patterns, or decent But very transient pac patterns
 
Literally every teleconnections here is cooperating. Split flow, +PNA, -NAO/-AO, Alaskan ridge/-EPO, this is a rarity. I can understand the pessimism because nothing has happened this winter, and we’ve failed, but this isn’t gonna be like the last couple of February’s, this is quickly reaching the D10 window now, the building blocks are under that 506DAD76-367F-47C6-83EA-006B1485673F.png549C6606-8EE0-42BF-A8D1-D4483922029C.png

Hasn't the Indian Ocean convection been messing it up?

Dang - three tornado warnings out in S GA. One confirmed north of Valdosta
I checked in with my mom in Valdosta. She's always scared when Torns are around. Her text: it's serious at Moody Air Force Base. Torns all over all around. Debris, people hurt. There was a torn on the ground in Ray City a few mins ago. A new on now on ground in Pavo, pass Hahira. Telling now on tv to take cover now. -(that was a couple of mins ago). Yikes
 
There's the change to colder on the 8 to 14 day outlook
