everyone is saying tell thundershower stop talking. everyone wants to hear doug's forecast. >> this week does not look good but doug is here to talk about the entire winter ahead. you've got a pretty track record when it comes to the seasonal weather forecast. over ve done pretty well the last couple of years, an i've been doing that for 15 years and just about eve year coming fairly close and this year if we come close means a lot of snow for a lot ofs, take a look, guys. will this pattern bring more snow this winter? i've begunhat question time and tim again. we're currently in line for the top five wettest yea ever. does this continue meaning more snow this winter? the short answer, yes, itoe all the big indexes point to a big season. coming off a moderate la nina last season we're moving into a

moderate el nino this winter which means colder than average temperatures and more snowfall, but there's a lot more to look at. believe it or not the amount of snow in siberia in october helps to prect our winters. in year it got off to a slow start and that is really ramped up over the last few weeks. another factor is the sun. this is much warmer than average warmer and that a can play major role in our winter. let's talk about how the factors come together. the warm blob south of africa will accepted the jet stream well to the north which alls the jet stream to come all the way down to the south into the united states bringing with it very cold air. at the same time the el nino

pattern bngs a strong southern jet that allows areas of low pressure to move along it. when the two areas collide that's when you get a big storm right up the coast with plenty of big air for paying -- thyme snows. i'm predicting double the average snowfall in most of our region. d.c. 25 and i'm forecasting 35 to 40 inches and 35 to 45 out to dulles andfrederick, maryland and more off towards the west.-h , double. >> double. >> i really think we could be close to 30 inches of snow. this year correlates to 1986 and 1987 when we had 32 inches of snow in d.c. and 42 inches of snow out towards dulles airport and less snow up towards frederick, maryland, which means these stormay form a little farther off towards the coast. with that that means w get the
