Teleconnections: Meteorologist’s Alphabet Soup

The NAO, PNA, MJO, etc. You've probably heard of these buzzwords thrown around on social media, and especially if you're someone who follows the weather closely. These are what we refer to as "teleconnections" and they basically drive our patterns over a span of months. In this episode, we bring WeatherWorks Long Range expert, Kyle Leahy, to talk all about how we use teleconnections and why they're so important.
