"A few details though need to be worked out. There is the matter with dealing with the still robust positive PDO pattern (warm water in the Gulf of Alaska) which would place a trough over the Great Lakes, Ohio River Valley, New England, and Northern Mid Atlantic. There is also the growing support for a sustained negative NAO state keeping the back door cold front and marine influences in play for the coast line through the Summer. In short, this is a 500 MB pattern where Philadelphia has a hot Summer while the New Jersey coast and New York City metro is stuck dealing with invasions from air masses from the Atlantic Ocean. Not an easy forecast at all."
Had to go back bit. After looking at your temp maps today this is what I remembered. The marine influence and backdoor cold fronts will keep NYC north cool. Which is roughly what I saw on your temp maps. Good job, I belive it was Paulie p who you quoted this from. Looks very right right now.
Whoa. Nice flashback there! Actually wasn't Paulie P, I mentioned it in my post. It was Steve D who said that. And that was from April 19th!
Then I posted this for the end of this week... Happening again
Here's the other thing he said...
"My point is that the evolution of ENSO is starting to set the pace for the evolution of the Summer pattern. The faster La Nina comes on, the sooner the Central and Eastern United States will have to deal with above normal temperatures and the dreaded heat wave."
Guess what .......... La Nina is here. Let the heat waves begin? Maybe starts end of June?
