Moderate Madden Julian Oscillation Triggers Increased Global Atmospheric Angular Momentum

Stronger jet stream flow in the middle latitudes is expected to generate peaking in the 6-10-period and possibly lasting longer due to the Madden Julian oscillation (MJO) influence on the global wind oscillation (GWO) and consequently global atmospheric angular momentum (GLAAM).

North Atlantic Tropical Season Gaining Storms Fast; Very Warm Oceans Helping

The 2024 tropical cyclone season has certainly seen a destructive uptick in recent weeks. Seasonal totals are now above normal, most notably with the number of hurricanes and the rapidly increasing accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) index. The North Atlantic basin including the Gulf of Mexico remains considerably warmer than normal supporting an active season as predicted by most forecasters earlier this summer.

Great Plains Dry Pattern Continues as Drought Worsens

The U.S. AG Belt remains arid most vividly displayed by the 14-day percent of normal rainfall analysis. The daily soil moisture anomaly analysis reveals the strengthening Great Plains drought. All models remain very dry in the 15-day outlooks with the exception of the GFS offering patchy wet weather in the medium range.
