NOAA Updates its Four Season Outlook on January 19, 2023 – Tonight we preview the first three months in this Four-Season Outlook

Today is the third Thursday of the month so right on schedule NOAA has issued what I describe as their Four-Season Outlook. The information released also includes the MId-Month Outlook for the single month of February plus the weather and drought outlook for the next three months. The NOAA Outlook extends through February – March – April 2024.

In this preview, we are just presenting the Mid-Month Outlook for February and the Outlook for the three-month period of February, March, and April 2023.

We will present our full article on the NOAA Outlook soon. But we want to study it first. For many, the first three months of the Outlook are of most interest.

NOAA Updates it’s ENSO Outlook on January 12, 2023

On the second Thursday of every month, NOAA issues its analysis of the status of ENSO. This includes determining the Alert System Status. The best guess remains March.

But I have actually seen only a few signs of it starting to happen. But all the meteorologists agree that it will.  Could they all be wrong? Probably not.

Will this La Nina transition quickly to the El Nino phase? That would be unusual but some of the models suggest this will happen.  It seems likely that the ENSO Neutral Phase will at the very least have an El Nino Bias.
