The famous teleconnectors, an alphabet soup of weather and atmospheric patterns, are showing positive signs for spring around this part of the world, finally.
Looking at the AO (Arctic Oscillation), the trend is toward positive, which means warmer conditions for us.
Similarly, the NAO (North Atlantic Oscillation) is showing a positive trend over the next 2 weeks.
Another one that I look at is the PNA (Pacific North American). It is forecast to be near neutral to negative. That generally bodes well for us here. A negative PNA leads to troughiness in the west, which produces cooler, sometimes wetter conditions. On the flip side, that troughiness can lead to a ridge over the Plains states that translates into warmer conditions here. Of course, moisture can be tapped from the Gulf with this scenario as well. Therefore, expect greater rain chances with the inflow of warmer readings.
Bring on the April showers. I just want the warmer air.
