It's been a interesting season Dixie. If we are to get development that far out.. I would not be the least bit surprised.

NEG - Negative
MJO - Madden-Julian Oscillation

POS (positive) and NEG (negative) phases of the MJO run in 30-60 day cycles ... POS phases are dry phases and NEG phases are wet phases of the MJO ... currently the MJO is NEG and that can easily be told by looking at the ITCZ currently ...

Quite a long read on MJO ...
