MJO indices show a organized intra seasonal signal over the past week, with fast east ward propagation. The RMM index now places the MJO in Phase 8 at moderately strong amplitude, while the CPC velocity potential index likewise indicates enhanced convection over the Western Hemisphere.
Dynamical model forecast solutions continue to depict coherent eastward propagation of a fairly strong signal over the next week, with a significant weakening of the predicted signal amplitude over the Indian Ocean during Week-2.
It is unclear what role the MJO may play in the short-term climate forecast for the United States during the next two weeks.
