Interesting Statement

[Michael O'Keeffe]

Here is a quote from Ed Berry's Atmospheric Insight blog from one of his latest posts that I thought was interesting.

Since it does not look like La-Nina is going anywhere any time soon, the track of what may be violent outbreaks of severe local storms is probable to shift northwest into the northern and central Plains/Upper Mississippi Valley heading into May and June.

What does everyone else think?

Ed Berry is a meteorologist at the DDC NWSFO, and he has a blot at http://weatherclimatelink.blogspot.com/ ... Speaking to the topic of this thread, all I can say is "who knows?". It's tough to make regional climate-relative average temperature forecasts a few months down the line, so I'd really not be comfortable giving any sort of educated opinion regarding May-June svr potential. The only thing I have noted recently is at least some association between precip patterns in the southern plains (e.g. drought conditions), but that personal observation is only that.

All that said, a good deal of what Ed Berry writes of is well over my head. I've been meaning to [SIZE=-1]Weickmann and Berry (2006), which outlines GSDM...[/SIZE]

Ed Berry is a highly respected meteorologist at the Dodge City weather service office. I read his blog each week, Ed has great insight on the weather on a global scale. His mention of the La-Nina effect on the longwave pattern over the U.S. is similar to other years like La-Nina years in the past.

I concur with Jim fully in regards to Ed Berry's forecasts - he has quite the profound understanding of what makes the atmosphere 'tick' if you will. I've been reading his blog for over a year now, and I've been keeping track of how the actual weather patterns have panned out compared to his forecasts, and his predictions have been startlingly accurate for the most part. Hearing this prediction from Ed Berry gets me VERY excited, indeed. I'm totally 100% with John H. on this one - BRING IT ON!!!!
