More Signs Point to Cold...

Here is the latest AO indices. I realize that the GFS/ECMWF keep flipping and flopping. But on has to look at the overall global pattern to make a forecast on cold weather. The first set of Colder weather will make us realize that it is still winter and that will come Saturday. This will just give us a taste of what's to come. Next week still looks COLD. With the AO going negative one has to really worry about Arctic Air that could invade our area. This will also have a major impact on our Severe weather season. Why? Well, the things to look for are this: Does cold air travel all the way to the Gulf and effectively shut down rich moisture delivery? Or does the cold air help pump up the amplification of storm systems all over the Northern Hemisphere and take us right into spring?
