A vigorous upper low is swinging across Southern California bringing heavy showers, gusty winds and heavy mountain snows surrounding the LA basin tonight. Moisture streaming out ahead of the upper low up into the Intermountain West is bringing heavy snows as far north as Salt Lake causing disruption to road and air traffic. That system will push […]

The Atlantic storm as expected, struck overnight packing damaging winds with gusts exceeding 100 mph as well as producing flooding rains, even snow. Throughout today, a secondary front with reinforcing cold air brought snow to reasonably low levels as far south as Wales and the Midlands and this will continue progressing south tonight. Much of Northern Ireland […]
We’re in the midst of a very active, even hyper active pattern over Western Europe these days with +NAO/AO which is supporting a N Atlantic trough/Europe ridge with huge temperature difference which is producing a 200+mph jet stream. The atmospheric environment is perfect for extremely deep low pressure development through Christmas. Unfortunately Ireland and the UK are bearing the […]
Though not the greatest snowstorm ever to strike the Northeast, the swath of snow which did fall across the Lower Midwest and particularly the Northeast was enough to set new daily snowfall records. As much as 18 inches fell Boston’s 6.4 inches was a record for December 17. It’s been a cold and snowy December from […]
We have some serious 30-45, 000ft winds racing across the North Atlantic now and through the coming 10 days with an atmospheric environment that’s perfect for ‘exceptionally’ deep low pressure development. The region SW of Ireland is prime for development where a semi-permanent trough is positioned ahead of a Europe high. Air that’s accelerating as it drops into the trough, creates spin and […]

We’re in a stormy pattern these days with wild weather impact Northern Ireland and Scotland over the past weekend but the ECMWF is taking this current pattern even further, suggesting a potentially record breaking low right around Christmas. 960, even 950 isn’t out of the question but once you get into the 940s, well that’s […]
The snow storm which swept through yesterday brought upwards of 8 inches to parts of the Lower Midwest and Ohio Valley while parts of New England saw nearly 20 inches. The high totals are all thanks to the convergence of arctic air and warm, moisture rich Gulf air and once the low reached the New England coast, […]
Hope you’ve managed to watch the video posted earlier which looks at the upcoming week with another system impacting mainly the North and Northwest of the UK today. The turbulent pattern extends not only into next week but Christmas week and beyond. Next system after today hits Wednesday and that could pack a punch, potentially across a […]
