Outline Highlights ENSO Current Status MJO Current Status Monsoons Current Status Northern Hemisphere Circulation Rainfall & Temperature Patterns NCEP/GFS Model Forecast Forecast Verification

Canada and US: A storm system brought locally heavy precipitation to parts of the Midwest and the Ohio Valley over the Thanksgiving holiday. Bitterly cold air with well below average temperatures impacted much of the northern US Plains, the interior western US and the Canadian Prairies. The GFS predicts another storm system bringing locally heavy precipitation to the Ohio Valley and southeast Canada over the next 7 days. Mexico and Central America: Most of the region observed near to below average precipitation, with the exception of Panama where enhanced rains fell. Additional heavy rains are possible across Panama during the next 7 days, with drier than average weather forecast for parts of Hispaniola. Eurasia: Heavy precipitation impacted parts of southern Europe, southern India, and Sri Lanka. Temperatures were much above normal across western Russia. Heavy rain is forecast to continue in parts of central Europe. Highlights

ENSO Current Status For more information go to: During the last 4-weeks (31 Oct – 27 Nov 2010), SSTs were at least 1.0°C below average between 165°E and the South American coast, with departures more than 2.0°C below average in some areas east of the International Date Line. General Summary: La Niña is present across the equatorial Pacific. Negative sea surface temperature anomalies persist across much of the Pacific Ocean. La Niña is expected to last into the Northern Hemisphere spring 2011.

MJO Current Status  The axes (RMM1 and RMM2) represent daily values of the principal components from the two leading modes  The triangular areas indicate the location of the enhanced phase of the MJO  Counter-clockwise motion is indicative of eastward propagation. Large dot most recent observation.  Distance from the origin is proportional to MJO strength  Line colors distinguish different months MJO Index -- Recent EvolutionEnsemble GFS (GEFS) MJO Forecast RMM1 and RMM2 values for the most recent 40 days and forecasts from the ensemble Global Forecast System (GEFS) for the next 15 days light gray shading: 90% of forecasts dark gray shading: 50% of forecasts Yellow Lines – 20 Individual Members Green Line – Ensemble Mean For more information go to: The MJO signal continued to be weak. The GEFS forecasts a weak MJO emerging into the western Maritime Continent by late Week 1 or early Week 2.

Northern Hemisphere Monsoons Current Status North AmericaWest AfricaEast Asia For more information go to: Rainfall Anomalies: Last 90 Days The North American Monsoon season has ended. Precipitation during the past 90 days has been near average. During the last 90 days above average rainfall has occurred in west Africa near Senegal and Guinea. Near average rainfall has occurred in central Africa. During the last 90 days above average rainfall has occurred in Indonesia. This is consistent with La Nina conditions.

Northern Hemisphere Circulation 200-hPa, 925-hPa Wind & Temperature Anomalies - Recent 7 days During the 7-day period ( Nov 2010), an anomalous 200-hPa cyclonic circulation center was located over the central Atlantic, and anomalous 200-hPa anticyclonic circulation centers were located over the southeast US, the Middle East and northern India. During the 7-day period above average temperatures were observed in the eastern US, southeast Europe, and southern Russia; below-average temperatures were observed over central Canada and northern Russia. Low-level (~600 m) wind and temperature anomalies are based on the NCEP Climate Data Assimilation Systems (CDAS) analysis. The patterns of anomalous temperature and wind at 925-hPa are usually similar to surface observations. Note: Areas with surface pressure below 925-hPa are masked out. A A C A

Northern Hemisphere Circulation Rising motion (negative omega, yellow/red shading), usually associated with wetter- than- normal conditions. Sinking motion (positive omega, blue shading), usually associated with drier-than-normal conditions. Omega Anomalies and Total Precipitation - Recent 7 days During the 7-day period (21 – 27 Nov 2010), anomalous rising motion (negative omega) was observed over the east-central US, Europe, and India (top panel red ovals). During the same time period precipitation was observed over these same areas. CPC daily gridded precipitation analysis over land only. The daily gauge analysis is created on a 0.5 degree lat/lon over the global land by interpolating gauge observations from ~30,000 stations.

Rainfall Total & Anomaly Patterns: Last 7 Days TotalAnomaly During the last 7 days, heavy precipitation fell across the Midwest and the eastern Corn Belt from a storm system over the Thanksgiving holiday. Snow accumulations continued early in the period in northern California and the Intermountain West. A significant freezing rain event affected interior Alaska. Drier than average weather was observed in western Canada, the Pacific Northwest and parts of the eastern US.

Temperature (°C) Based on GTS Stations (no QC) AnomalyExtreme Minimum Temperatures were below average in the Canadian Prairies for a second week. Lows below -20 degrees C were common in most areas. Lows in Alberta reached below -30 degrees C. In eastern Canada temperatures were near to above average with overnight freezes. AnomalyExtreme Minimum

Temperature anomalies in excess of 15 degrees below average were common in the northern Plains and the Rockies. Warmer than average temperatures affected the southeast and the southern Plains. Temperatures were below average in many western Mexico districts, but were above average in eastern Mexico. Light freezes were observed in Chihuahua and spread into northern Durango and northeast Sonora. AnomalyExtreme Minimum
