- According to CPC, output from several computer models for this December indicates “a negative Arctic Oscillation (AO), a negative North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), and a positive Pacific-North American Oscillation (PNA) pattern. These features are associated with below normal temperatures throughout much of the central and eastern portions of the CONUS. This is expected to overwhelm the usual ENSO temperature teleconnection pattern favored in the early part of an El Nino winter.”
