La Niña is Back
« on: September 13, 2011, 05:02:39 PM »
I have some bad news for the South.  Your drought isn't going to end right away.  The Climate Prediction Center has noticed that we are transitioning from neutral conditions back to La Niña.  CPC issued a La Niña Advisory here:

It'll be interesting to see if this winter is a repeat of last winter as far as the Greenland Blocking we had because of a persistent -NAO, despite having a moderately strong La NIna this prevented us from a having a mild and dry winter in the SE, but instead a cold, somewhat wet and snowy winter. The NAO is forecasted to go negative again this winter. I see fun times ahead. :happy:

I know with that pattern last year, Grand Forks got slammed with significant snowfall and cold temperatures before December even rolled around. I distinctly remember a forecast in mid-November for the region where highs were projected to be -4°.

But I won't be in the nation the later part of winter. Anyone know what effects La Nina has on Southern Hemisphere weather?

It will be so cool if we see another winter of repeated fortnights of record cold and snow again :)

OK so would a return of La Nina mean a drier winter or one with more snow and ice? :dunno: I'm seeing posts supporting both sides above...

I thought it would mean drier conditions.

It usually means drier conditions for the Southeast, but there are exceptions to this rule.  You could start winter really cold and potentially have some snow, but then you may have a big thaw and stay warm and dry for the rest of the season.  There are many other factors in play besides La Niña, so you cannot stick with one generalized rule.

Knowing my luck, my new presence in central Florida will result in blizzards and -20 degree temperatures.  :)

The weather's out to haunt you Eric! It won't take the fact that you moved to central Florida and don't want blizzard conditions. :P

Well, it has been an interesting couple of months so far!  As soon as I moved here, hot as it was in Florida, it was even hotter in Massachusetts for a couple of weeks!  And then Irene, which was originally supposed to make landfall in Florida (at one point, if you remember, the track had it coming right over Daytona Beach) ended up affecting Massachusetts!

Who would have thought that I'd be escaping the heat and hurricanes by moving to Florida?  :)
