State Of The AO a cause of Concern…

The State of The AO is another factor that is taken into consideration during winter outlooks and the pattern that it shows, gives us an idea of where things may be headed. Right now I would say if you were to look at the AO pattern right now you should be a little concerned. The AO has hovered around Neutral to Positive most of the year. For an effective cold and snowy winter you want the NAO, AO to be Negative and the PNA to be positive. But right now I’m not all that concerned . As Forecaster Jason Shaulov mentioned in his outlook, things appear to be setting up in this regard like the Winter of 2009-2010. We shall See. My next update for my winter outlook comes out on either August 15th or on September 1st. Stay tuned.

At this time, the state of the AO is cause of Minor Concern, Lets hope we see a pattern shift soon.

Well, if we look at how the AAO performed in their winter it went negative a few times pretty steeply and I believe their is a teleconnection between the AAO in their winter, and the AO in our upcoming winter.

That is one “BOLD STATEMENT” on Jason Shaulov saying winter 2012-2013 looks to be setting up like Winter 2009-2010. I believe with the AO hovering around Neutral to Positive all year. Its only a matter of time before the AO crashes. I always love reading all of Weather Advances articles. I keep reading Cold & Snowy for the Mid-Atlantic. Only place that doesn’t believe in a Cold and snowy looks is Americanweather forum for the Mid-Atlantic. Read it Dante and tell me does their forecast change your mind.???????????
