Colder winters in the eastern US often correlate with a more positive PDO and western ridge, but not always. There are other factors that come into play as well (NAO, AO, PNA), blocking, etc.

The S word was mentioned in the forecast for next week! That's right! Snow! Thought right now just a chance, and most likely in the form of some snowflakes mixing in with rain, but there is a chance we could see some snowflakes early Wednesday morning next week as temps bottom out in the low to mid 30s, though daytime highs will climb into the upper 40s. The big question is how quickly moisture moves out before that really cold air arrives.

Yes, those maps show the Southeast tends to move in the opposite direction as the PDO whereas the West Coast tends to move in the same direction. Since the PDO is negative that suggests warm for the Southeast, cool for the West Coast.

still sunny here with mild afternoons and some foggy mornings, but the rain should return over the weekend.



Next week we should have more sub-15c highs, but the lows will remain far from freezing.



Nice foliage lately.

That probably means I'm going to get blasted all winter with an active storm track in the Ohio Valley. I'm definitely expecting 25-30 inches of precipitation through the winter, hopefully more snow than last year.

No the darker red colors out west indicated more correlation with the PDO

How much snow did you get last year?

Not very much, I think around 15 inches for the season, although I'm not certain what the averages are for the area I'm in since the climate zone isn't similar at all to Louisville, (much lower elevation and urban heat island).

Halloween weather trivia for Chicago






This Halloween will feature near normal temps but then temps will crash for a good 10 days at least with some moderation possible by the 11-15 day period
