Today’s 00z Euro Ensemble run unwound some of the changes we saw yesterday with warming in the 6-15 period in the Northeast, Midwest and West.

Looking forward, the latest Niña weekly data continue to show moderate intensity range at -1.1C colder sea surface temperatures vs. normal.

NOAA CFS hesitant to warm sea surface temperatures as much into summer, suggesting longer stay of current La Niña conditions.

Majority of ensemble members from all three (American, European, Canadian) favor 1/14, 1/21, and 1/28 (shown below) EIA weeks to run colder than normal with above normal HDDs. Current Feb forecast are set up to look like the classic La NiNa pattern showing a cool NW to warmer South/East.
