From the abundance of acorns in the fall to the bushiness of squirrel tails, there are many fanciful forecasting techniques have been used over the years as a means to glean a glimpse of what the weather will be like in the upcoming winter. NOAA Climate.gov image, based on precipitation data from NOAAs Precipitation Reconstruction over Land (PREC/L). New for the 2023 edition are weather summaries and maps for all four seasons in 2023. Above-normal precipitation is forecast in part of the Ohio Valley, an area that could pick up above-normal snowfall if temperatures remain low enough. Next, I tackled the noise part of the calculation, which represents the Southwest precipitation variations that are unrelated to the sea surface temperature patterns. The exact value may change depending on what metric you use, but the overall conclusion shouldnt change. In the Southeast, the Farmers Almanacs expected East Coast storms are more likely to bring rain, although chilly conditions that enter the region in January could cause wintry precipitation there, as well. Most of Europe is forecast to have less snow depth by mid-winter. Submitted by Matt on Thu, 02/23/2023 - 11:44. More early Spring snowfall is also expected over the northwestern United States and the southern half of Canada while the La Nina influence slowly lets go. We're just a few days into meteorological winter and something rather interesting is stirring. This was an interesting post that gave more insights into how La Nia can influence winter precipitation in the Southwest, and how it's more complex than stating that its presence means it'll be dry. The circulation of the strong high-pressure system promotes the development of a low-pressure region over Alaska and western Canada. More U. S. drought in a second-year La Nia? What its also doing though, is helping develop the kind of south-westerly airflow which is spinning in some of these periods of wet and windy weather, but also the warmer kind of continental air over the UK much more than average for the time of year.. Just wanted to Note that not all of the Southwest is receiving Robust Moisture. Turning mostly dry with sunny spells by afternoon, though a few showers in the west. I also have noted that the tropical atmosphere has been more persistently La Nina-like than the Nino region sea surface temperatures in recent months. Again, you can see more snowfall than normal, covering a large area from western Canada down into the northwestern United States and the far upper Midwest. By Eva Hagan. To solidify this conclusion, I continued my investigation by calculating how much the variations in the La Nia sea surface temperature pattern contribute to the variations in Southwest U.S. DecemberJanuary precipitation in the SPEAR simulations. So, the bottom line is that the relationship between La Nina amplitude and Southwest U.S. precipitation does not appear as simple as one (or at least I) would expect based on this analysis, and it's something I would like to understand better. ), and I have seen that there are a few studies that point to processes around Antarctica that could be contributing. Despite the rocky end of the year, Southwest reported a $539 million profit for 2022. You can see that more snowfall is being forecast across much of the western United States compared to the previous forecast. The Farmers Almanac says conditions in the Upper Midwest will be glacial, and it suggests there will be plenty of snow and chilly conditions for winter lovers to enjoy including the potential for a White Christmas. A La Nia pattern has persisted into the summer of 2022, and long-range models have been projecting a higher than average chance of a La Nia continuing into the winter of 2022-2023, before possibly weakening in the spring of 2023. It relocates the jet stream downwards between the two strong pressure systems, marked above by the blue lines. Winters coming: Heres what to know about long-range weather outlooks. So, that gets to the main point of the post. You can see a strong high-pressure system in the North Pacific and a low-pressure area over Canada and the northern United States. On average across the UK, there are only 15.6 days a year when snow is on the ground, though this rises to 26.2 days for Scotland alone. This winter's total is a record for Bellemont but in 1948-49 there was 153.9 inches at the airport ..still have time to top that record since average March snowfall is about 15 inches, Submitted by Craig T on Fri, 03/03/2023 - 14:34.

Comments must be on-topic; free of profanity, name-calling, or ad-hominem attacks; and cannot repeat misinformation about climate that has been widely debunked by authoritative sources. Despite the headlines, the winter weather predictions from both publications have a lot of similarities this year. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says its own five-day forecast is accurate about 90% of the time and seven-day forecast 80%. And did tropical sea surface temperatures contribute? Technically, this value also will reflect, in part, the increases in greenhouse gas increases in the simulation, but this effect on precipitation is relatively small. But take note of the trough of equal temperatures probability extending down low into the south-central states. Submitted by Finn Stiles on Sat, 02/25/2023 - 05:01. Story of winter 2022/23. Often with the cold easterly winds, and the air travelling over so much dry land, there is very little moisture in it to form the snow and we end up with some crisp winter sunshine instead.

However, this pattern may break down during the last third of the month, possibly heralding a return to milder, more unsettled weather. We see more snowfall over the northwestern and northern United States and southern Canada. Also, the southwest is expected to be dry during the winter months, which won't help the drought. La Nina is a climate pattern that originates in the Pacific Ocean but impacts the global weather forecast. The most common wind direction in the UK is south-westerly though, so more often than not we get relatively mild air from the Atlantic bringing rain, rather than this cold air from the north and east which often turns any rain to snow..
