How are the temps on the NAVGEM?

I read an article from accuweather (link below) regarding the potential for up to 5 cyclones to form in the Indian Ocean within the next couple days. Looking at latest run of the GFS model, it seems as though one cyclone is forecast to hit Somalia, while another, potentially much more potent one seems set to hit Madagascar. Apologies if it's a dumb question, but did the formations of these cyclones in any way change the MJO progression and/or contribute to the upcoming more favorable look to the Pacific? @Webberweather, I know your forecast for a mild December had a lot to do with the standing wave in the IO and the unfavorable forcing as a result. Curious to know your thoughts on this. https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/tropics-heating-up-in-indian-ocean-as-4-potential-tropical-cyclones-may-form-this-week/638490

lol entirely accurate. There was never even a dusting on the roadways in Central Queens. Best part of the storm was that alternate side parking yesterday and today was cancelled for "snow removal". Joke's on the city though as there is NO snow to be removed.

Moderate snow in Forest Hills now. All snow for the first time today.

Manhattan, Bronx and Staten Island are getting smoked right now. They’re certainly in the running for a general 3-5” (+?) imo. However, unless that band off of the ocean parks overhead or the pivot band shifts East, looks like parts of eastern Brooklyn and especially Queens will get the shaft. Still sleeting where I am in Forest Hills.
