Why the MJO and stratosphere are so critical for wintry weather in February
As we move into February we are likely to see another change in the hemispheric weather pattern. Once again, changes with MJO/tropical forcing and in the stratosphere will play a major role in this shift. In our long-range outlook update on Saturday, we discussed these features and how they may potentially influence the atmospheric pattern. Here we will discuss what influence these climate phenomenon will have on pattern during the February and into first half March.
