…Pacific system to bring coastal/lower elevation rain and mountain snows

Basin and Southwest Wednesday…

thunderstorms for portions of Texas and the Gulf Coast…

…Lake-effect snows downwind from the Great Lakes over the next couple of
days…

For those who may have missed the January update, here is the key graphic.

 

 I provide the link to the full report published on Monday in the body of this article.  The above shows in the top row the updated outlook for January.  The bottom row is the three-month outlook issued on December 21.  Do I think that outlook is still valid?  I have to say no. The changes made to the January Outlook raise questions about the three-month outlook. But NOAA says the changes were due to the MJO and AO. The MJO will not impact February and March based on what happened in January. It is not clear if the changes to the AO will carry into subsequent months. And it is not clear that the changes in the outlook were fully explained in the discussion issued with the updated outlook.  So we will be in suspense until the new Seasonal Outlook is issued on January 18, 2024.
