Nor’Easters, El NiΓ±o and a Warm Atlantic Ocean
One thing not getting a lot of coverage this year is how warm the Atlantic Ocean still is going into December. But a weather video on YouTube mentions this.
While the winter is likely going to be dominated by mild conditions due to El Niño in the Pacific Ocean, and right now the polar jet stream is well north of us and for the most part the subtropical jet stream is below us. That means dry, fairly stable conditions. But one thing to watch is when the jet stream inevitably gets wavier as winter progresses, and we get one of those classic arctic blasts as the polar jet stream dips north. All that energy embedded in the warm Atlantic Ocean could make for one hell of a Nor’Easter.
That is all. Do watch this video.
