This El Nino is not like the others. I'm not sure it matters all that much as there is little or no correlation between seasonal snowfall and the ENSO cycle here in St. Louis despite the correlations being strong in other parts of the CONUS.

I see Google has released Snowstorm920 publicly.

All joking aside this is pretty cool. Their claims of superior skill are already being questioned though. I saw that it's 10-day 500 mb height scores are less than the EPS ensemble.

ECMWF is the operator of the model. You can find the forecasts here.

Google has integrated their AI weather forecast technology into Bard as part of the MetNet3 model.

[Andrychowicz et al. 2023]

blog.research.google/2023/11/metnet-3-state-of-art-neural-weather.html

I asked Bard if it uses MetNet3 for weather forecasts. Here was it's response.

Me: Do you use MetNet3 for your weather forecasts?

Bard: Yes, I do use MetNet3 for my weather forecasts. MetNet3 is a state-of-the-art neural weather model that has been shown to outperform traditional physics-based models in a number of studies. It is able to produce highly accurate forecasts of precipitation, wind, temperature, and dew point up to 24 hours in advance. MetNet3 is also able to produce forecasts at a very high spatial resolution of up to 1 kilometer. This makes it a valuable tool for providing detailed weather information to users.

I use MetNet3 in conjunction with other weather models, such as the High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) and the ensemble forecast suite (ENS), to provide the most accurate forecasts possible. I also use a variety of other data sources, such as radar and satellite imagery, to supplement my forecasts.

I am constantly monitoring the performance of MetNet3 and other weather models, and I will make adjustments as needed to ensure that I am providing the most accurate forecasts possible.

I don't know...I think Bard is getting too cocky there. But it is pretty cool seeing that Bard is going beyond any one source and using its "intelligence" instead of cherry-picking its favorite model.

I would but it already got kinda weird on me. I asked it if St. Louis was going to get snow on or around Thanksgiving Day and it said no. I told it that I was disappointed and it tried cheering me up by claiming there is always a chance of a surprise lake effect snow event. I told it that St. Louis was too far away from a large lake for that to ever happen. It immediately conceded and said St. Louis was 150 miles from the Mississippi River. /facepalm

Well, the models have totally given up on a phase before Thanksgiving.

12z gfs brews a potential monster storm the Saturday after (but it gets sheared out).

12z ggem has nothing lol.

It must be winter time

It seriously as others have mentioned, looks like we are in for a much more interesting pattern for the last week ish of Nov into the first week of Dec. Lots of shortwave troughs coming thru our region! Maybe one will deliver the snow goods here and not miss us to the west or east.

And Alaska keeps getting hammered with snow. Parts of Anchorage are over three feet this month. And it's a wet heavy snow they don't typically get.

It has gone away from the strong lead wave Friday completely. It shows no chance for snow... barely any rain (next weekend). In other words, back to reality.

Fits the going forecast that if 'winter' shows up it'll be in the latter half of the season. A flip to La Nina in the Spring not good for drought relief prospects however. Signs the next La Nina could be strong as well by mid/late Summer 2024. More middle-east like heat anyone?

Where did you get the La Nina flip from? That's not consistent with the November NOAA ENSO outlook. Probabilities of El Nino or neutral are much higher through the JJA period next summer.

I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.
