I had a brief tease. Caught the edge of a developing storm that seemed so promising and then after about 20 seconds it stopped. Managed to get a whole 0.02”
I respectfully disagree. One of the projects I performed when I took physical climatology at State was to select a site heavily influenced by ENSO. I collected ONI data going back all the way to 1950 and then compared it with rainfall and temperature data in Lafayette, LA. I expected to find a strong correlation between El Niño and summer precip, but instead the correlation was very weak. Arguably the PDO likely has a greater influence, but that would suggest that El Niño really doesn't dominate our summer weather which is supported by the data I collected. I will see if I can find a place where I can upload my data and share it.Cpv17 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2023 12:35 pmI’ve never in my life heard that El Niño doesn’t impact our weather much during the summer months. I think that argument is horse crap. Back in April and May mostly all of us were saying it would be a wet summer. The culprit was the -PDO. It had nothing to do with “El Niño doesn’t have much influence on our weather during the summer”. Had the PDO been more positive then we would’ve seen more rain this summer. El Niño can still impact our weather with more rain during the summer but not with a big blob of colder than normal waters off the Baja extending past Hawaii.captainbarbossa19 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2023 12:20 pmYes! I think this stagnant pattern is about to potentially be gone for good in a week or two! We should gradually see an uptick in rain, especially as we near November. El Nino will really start to affect our pattern soon.Stratton20 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2023 12:08 pm Im seeing signs of potentially our first legit fall front of the year in the day 8-10 range, The CMC is especially bullish, but even the GFS and euro also show a decent cool down, with more troughing setting up over the eastern US, this is beginning to spell the end of our heat ridge pattern for good
Okay, if that’s the case then why have I never heard of it till this summer? Even experts I know were saying back in late spring that this summer would produce. Now those same people are saying “El Nino doesn’t impact our weather during the summer”. It’s just weird to me how we've been through several El Niño’s and I’ve never once heard that it doesn’t influence our weather much during the summer. Heck, La Niña’s do. So why wouldn’t El Niño?captainbarbossa19 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2023 3:37 pmI respectfully disagree.

Because people change their stance and try to gaslight what they originally said.Cpv17 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2023 3:53 pmOkay, if that’s the case then why have I never heard of it till this summer?

Question is, would you have said that back in May?MontgomeryCoWx wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2023 4:54 pm El Niño has some effect on our weather during Summer but it’s not how you think. Nino and Nina affect our Fall and Winter far more than Spring and Summer.
I’m also of the belief our background State is just now becoming full Nino.
I doubt it will. Not even trying to be a Nancy here. Just trying to keep it .Stratton20 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2023 5:52 pm I spy a decent fall front on the GFS at day 8, fingers crossed this starts showing up in the ensembles
I think if that happened most of it would be runoff because the ground is too hard and it wouldn’t be able to sink in.
Absolutely nothing here in College Station. The seabreeze was just pointing toward the LA border.biggerbyte wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2023 7:33 pm It just drizzled here. Just enough to grab the dust and spot my cars..i just washed them yesterday. How disappointing.
I hope so. I will take rain over cooler weather.Stratton20 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2023 5:52 pm I spy a decent fall front on the GFS at day 8, fingers crossed this starts showing up in the ensembles
